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.
