Lake Lure delight
The owners have made their cottage very inviting and welcoming. There are many detailed touches. The screened porch is perfect for morning tea or coffee and an early evening glass of wine.

Loved this awesome cottage!
Great location, close to everything that we wanted to do in Lake Lure, but felt so private, tucked up in the woods. Comfortable beds, stocked kitchen, loved that one bedroom was upstairs and one was downstairs, which, for 2 couples, is perfect. Just down the road is Ingles, a great grocery store. The screened in porch was a favorite. The host was easy to contact. We would 100% stay here again!

Would love to go back!
We had an incredible time at Casa di Cresta! Not only was the cottage within great distance of all we wanted to see (about 1hr from Asheville, 10mins from Chimney Rock, less than 5mins from Lake Lure Beach Resort), it was remarkably clean and comfortable for a family of 4!
