About this property

Dog Friendly. Tiki Bar. High speed internet. Boat dock: canoe, paddle boat


This lovely quaint little cottage is the perfect escape for everything you would need to enjoy the beautiful area of Lake Lure! Upon entry no need to worry about stairs, the cottage is roadside with parking adjacent to the house. This cottage was fully remodeled to provide all the necessities within a small package. There are two queen size built in bunk beds to accommodate four people, each with their own outlets and fans, this lets you feel like summer camp but more luxurious. There is also a pull out couch in the living room for a extra guest or two. The bathroom has a oversized subway tile shower as well as beautiful tiled floor. In the living room you will have the log cabin feel with all the wooded ceiling as well as throughout the sleeping areas as well. There is a large granite top island to prepare your dishes and also to have game nights and rewind from the day. This place is great inside but what really draws the attention is the outdoor areas. Outside the cottage there is a large seating area for grilling and relaxing. On the way down the stairs to the lake halfway down you will arrive at "The Ski Bar" a eclectic decorated bar of antiques, old ski gear, and all kinds of entertainment! The ski bar has a large wood slab bar along with neon lights! This bar will not disappoint with the views either! It has great lake views as well as a beautiful view of pilot mountain. From the bar down you will find another great area to either eat or lounge about from the day listening to the boats pass by or mother nature at its finest. From the deck you will be at Lake Lures water edge. The boathouse is situated back in a peaceful cove where swimming is one of the very best past times. Also, we do provide a canoe and paddle boat for those who would like to see more of the waterside of Lake Lure.

The house does have high speed internet. Please also be advised the house does not sit directly on the water and like most mountain lake homes has steps to get to the water and boathouse. If you have issues going up and down stairs this house is not suitable for you to access the water.

Wonderful spot to get away.

Great little spot to get away and relax. The owners were very nice and answered any questions my wife and I had on the area. We really enjoyed sitting down at the bar reading in the morning and having drinks at night. The property was very clean, well maintained and had everything. We would absolutely recommend it.

My husband and I had a great time at The Marsh Cottage! Byron was terrific about communication of accessing the cottage and directions to get there. Lake Lure is a beautiful area that is really coming back from the awful devastation of Hurricane Helene. We were visiting to watch our collegiate rower on his Spring Break training trip to Lake Lure. Unfortunately they had truck issues out of their departure in Northern New York so they got cancelled! We decided to still make the trip and it was so worth it! The area is gorgeous! We even got to meet Byron's mom who lives nearby and she showed us the other properties if we come with more folks another time! The Cabin is well appointed and has the fun Tiki Ski Bar area that we enjoyed sitting down at. We didn't bring the dog (had planned to) but it would have been a great setting for her, as well. We are sharing these properties with our friends for sure--an easy drive up from the Atlanta area!

We had a wonderful week! Celebrated our 5th Anniversary! We come to the mountains very often but this trip was exceptional. The weather was perfect. The food was great. And this cabin was just right.

Cottage with lots of character

Fun small cottage across the street from lake Lure (you do have to cross a quite street to get to the steps to the lake). Along the way down the steps there are landings decorated in a creative bar theme. Pontoon boat (we didn’t rent) takes up the narrow water front. Wonderful area.

About the host

Hosted by Byron Marsh

Host profile image
Hello all, I am a true Lake Lure and Asheville native. My family has been on the lake for over 50 years and we still own one of our original lakeside homes. I am also happy to call Asheville NC home for over 30 years, where I was able to spend most of my free time in the outdoors. From Asheville, I moved away for college and attended UNCC, go FORTY NINERS! After college and some nine to five jobs I finally became my own boss and launched a property management/real estate business. With the business operating since 2015 we have been successful in providing people with lifelong vacation experiences as well as providing longterm housing. While in my thirties I still find as much time to as possible to be outside and surrounded by water.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in the quiet setting within Lake Lures shoreline sits this quaint cottage. Our family purchased the property in 1985. The property has two houses on the land. The cottage first served as a boat storage facility while my parents ran the local marina in town. We then converted it to a man cave and then finally the cottage it is today, a unique tiny home! We maximized the small interior space by providing queen-size bunk beds, to accommodate four people. The bathroom has a larger feeling with its oversized walk in tiled shower. In the living room we have a pull out couch to accommodate one or two extra people.

The house is situated back in a peaceful cove and is located right off of Havnaers Point Circle. It has wonderful outdoor areas to relax and enjoy mother nature but also great areas for family time too!

The house is in close vicinity to Buffalo Creek Trailhead/Park, Legends Restaurant, Larkins Restaurant and 15 miles to town center.

This property gives you the ability to take in all the treasures that Lake Lure provides without breaking your wallet!

5 to 6 Adults Max

What makes this property unique

Come visit a cottage that has history but as well as unique setting. The cottage has easy access from parking to house with no stairs. The outdoor areas you will find yourself surrounded by mountain views and of the lake as well.

Half way down the stairs you land at the "Ski Bar". The ski bar has a large wood slab bar as well as antiques, neon lights, and views! You can easily sit six to eight people at the ski bar and escape from the sun or weather. Most of the locals know of our property from this unique feature, come see why!

Once you have regained your legs you can make it down to the waters edge for a relaxing swim in the lake. We provide a water floats, canoe and paddleboat to explore the cove and lake with. This lower area has a boathouse, and a long dock where the water is over 15 ft deep, great place for a dive into the lake.
