Beautiful area

This cottage was the perfect size for our family’s 3 day stay (me, my husband, our two boys 10 & 13). It was very clean and seemed to be very recently remodeled beautifully. However the mattresses and couch are not very comfortable. There is so much outdoor relaxing space and the top deck over the boathouse was the perfect mix of sun and shade with plenty of seating. As of April 2025, you should know that Lake Lure is still in recovery mode from the hurricane and the lake has been drained at least 20 feet because of that. We were still able to paddle board but fishing wasn’t good. During the week, there is a LOT of rebuilding going on in surrounding homes and that was loud and not very peaceful. We knew this coming in and others should too. Grocery store is 12 minutes away which was helpful. Please be advised those groceries (and all your luggage) need to be carried from the parking spot on the top of the road, down many steps to reach the house. This wasn’t an issue for us or our older boys, but might be for elderly or very young kids. All in all, this was definitely a peaceful place and a good fit for our family. We might try it again next summer.

Spring Break

Perfect mini-Spring Break! Exceptionally clean, well-stocked. Thankful to see how much recovery has occurred—didn’t know the lake was drown down so far but we loved the view all the same. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Love this house!

The house is great but it’s the boat deck/house and the lake that make it awesome! The owners provide lots of floats and kayaks and paddle boards so it’s a fun time.

Lake Lure adventure

This house is very private located on a cove with a view of the lake. The firepit, upper deck and porch gave you several spots to view the water and just relax. The cottage is updated and is very comfortable. Just a few updates that the owners could make that would make this place an even better gem.

Perfect getaway

We had the perfect long-weekend getaway at the Blue Moon Cottage! It was great being right on the water and having paddle boards, kayaks, floats and more! The space is so cozy and was perfect for our group of 4. If you’re looking for a relaxing, fun trip nestled in the mountains with gorgeous views, look no further. We will be back!

Great spot on Lake Lure

The house was just as described and looked like the pictures! Cozy yet enough space for what I needed. The location on the lake was great, in a little cove, but not right on top of other houses. Enjoyed the sun deck and swimming and paddling in the lake. Suggest bringing your own paddle board if you like that! Will definitely be back, maybe in the fall to enjoy a fire and the hot tub!

Perfect lake house

This was the perfect lake house for a girls weekend. The house is adorable and had everything we needed. Loved being able to just walk into the lake and go swimming. Plenty of rafts and kayaks there for use. Loved that chimney rock was a short drive away. Can’t wait to come back!

Blissful Vacation

We stayed for a week in June and it was amazing. The cottage is nicely decorated and well equipped with new appliances and furniture. We spent most of our time on the deck on the boat house enjoying the views, swimming, paddle boarding and relaxing! This home is truly a gem and the perfect getaway.

Lake Life is the Best Life!

We had a wonderful trip with friends and our dogs. The house feels spacious and well appointed with items for a comfortable stay. The beds were super comfy and made for a wonderful nights sleep. The updates are beautiful and the layout really distributes bed and bath space evenly which is amazing if you are sharing with another couple. We truly enjoyed the lake toys and having meals on the deck as well as boat house. The evenings were still a bit cool so we were able to enjoy the fire pit at the waters edge a couple of night which was the perfect way to end the day. We scheduled the nostalgic sunset boat tour on a 1938 Chris Craft - the boat was stunning. The guide (also the Mayor of Lake Lure) picked us up at the boat house - talk about service. We felt spoiled. We live in Hendersonville, NC so we are only an hour away but this vacation gave us the opportunity to really enjoy the lake to the fullest. We can’t wait to come back again. Kindest Regards, The Medearis Family

Loved our stay!

This place had everything we needed for a nice relaxing long weekend. The decor, the outdoor space, the views. Just stunning! I cannot wait to return. The bedding was so comfortable I slept so well. Hot water and water pressure was on point. It’s the little things. So much attention to detail on this cottage! Loved the outdoor lighting!! We spent the day hiking at Chimney rock and that was much more beautiful than I had anticipated. The little town had some great restaurants and shops right on the river.

Blue Moon Cottage is a MUST stay!!!!

A perfect combination of cozy cottage and modern amenities!!! The cottage is well appointed and Deeanna is an incredible host. Not only did she answer any questions I had...but her level of excitement for us to visit truly made us feel like family!! We made the most of our visit...paddle boards, kayaks, a campfire with s'mores ...and a relaxing time in the hot tub. The ONLY disappointing part of our stay is when we had to say goodbye. We will return for sure!!! Thank you for a wonderful visit Blue Moon Cottage...you are quite a special place!💙

A Quick Relaxing Getaway

We live in Western NC so we are no strangers to the marvels mountain views NC had to offer. But when you add a lakeview in the mix you have the perfect duo! We wanted a peaceful little place on the water to relax and celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and Blue Moon Cottage did not disappoint! Actually, it now has us thinking we'd love to have a cozy little getaway on a lake with mountainviews! The deck above the boathouse is such a great space to unwind, read a book, or just listen to the chatter and laughter of other visitors travel along the lake. We went just ahead of the busy season so it was fairly quiet but we can see how high season might get a little noisier. The house was well appointed but we woukd suggest making a quick stop at Ingles to get some basic food in case the weather isn't great - especially if you're not used to driving the mountain roads of NC. The area is great and it's so close to Chimney Rock. The town has a lot of shops and such if you like to walk around. We brought our senior dog so we didn't get to do much of that, but we were more than thrilled to hang out at the cottage just the same! The cottage was clean, cozy, and updated (and we're kind of picky about those things). If interested, a little history on the house was enclosed in the welcome binder (which I found to be a nice touch!). Overall, we had a great time and would definitely return again!

Birthday at Bluemoon Cottage

This was the perfect lake front cottage for some time away. We loved the hiking and restaurants in Chimney Rock especially Highlands. And the Chimney Rock Brewery. Loved being on the river. Near the house the restaurant Appalachia is incredible. As good as the reviews said. The house itself is so updated and tasteful. I loved their style. The dock and walkways were top notch. I liked being able to shut the gates for the dog to play around on the deck. The beds were very comfy and the house is spotless. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect lake home

Our family of 5 loved spending our Spring Break here. Even with the water down for the season, we could easily get the provided kayaks and paddle boards into the lake. The home is clean, nicely decorated, and well stocked. We also enjoyed soaking in the hot tub overlooking the water and soaking up the sun on the deck over the boathouse. We will be back, for sure!

Great, Even in the Offseason!

Even with the lake down 12 feet (maybe more ?!?) we had a great time celebrating my husband’s birthday! It was fun to have some “beach” area for the kids to play. We had the whole lake to ourselves for canoeing and kayaking! The kitchen was well stocked, the hot tub was clean and toasty, the fireplace was great for morning coffee and the outside fire pit for evening drinks and smores! We hope to return in a warmer month to explore more!! <3
