About this property

Dog Friendly Cottage on Lake Lure! Pontoon boat!

Banjoe Vacations invites you to come to Lake Lure and stay ON the water. The Cardinal Cottage is built right over the lake and comes complete with a hot tub and 2-person kayak, with a pontoon boat available for rent. The rooftop deck with fire table is a fantastic place to relax. Move down to the table on the dock overlooking the water and end your day with a soak in the hot tub. This is lake life at its best! And bring the dogs (additional fee required)! They will love the lake too.
While we are not on location, we are easily just a phone call or message away should you need anything or have any questions during your stay!
This house is located in a quiet and beautiful cove of Lake Lure. While there are houses nearby there is enough space on each side of the property to make you feel that you are on your own slice of heaven! The town of Lake Lure is small and peaceful yet has everything you need and so much to explore!
The entire area marked for the Cardinal Cottage is for your use. This includes your own parking space, upper deck, your own dock, hot tub, and entire cottage.
This cozy cottage is built right over the water so almost wherever you look, you can see the lake.

Inside, the cottage is comfortably furnished with two pullout sofas, a dining table, and a full kitchen. The bedroom sleeps 2, and both sofas in the living room convert to beds, so the house can sleep 6 people total. There is a workspace with a desk that overlooks the lake, making it easy to take in the views while you work. The bathroom is supplied with toiletries and towels (no need to bring your own).

Outside, there are two dining tables and a gas grill. The rooftop deck has a large modular couch, loungers, a hammock, and a propane fire table. The professionally maintained hot tub is also available to guests.

If you need extra room, consider booking this together with our tiny Hummingbird House with a listing called The Nest (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/852162060094149805).

**Additional note about Lake Lure:
Lake Lure is a town-funded lake that practices sporadic drawdowns. The drawdown of Lake Lure this winter will be from November 1st 2023 to the end of March 2024.
Please be aware that if you book from Nov - April, depending on what the town decides, there could possibly be little to no water in the lake. During drawdowns, all boats will be put away. However - there are plenty of other fantastic activities in the Lake Lure and Chimney Rock area during the winter season!

Great spot right on the water
Cannot say enough about the location! Was superb for water access and relaxation. The only negative was the stairs and steep grade from the street. The stairs are not for the faint of heart! Loading and unloading was very difficult. The fact they let you bring dogs is WONDERFUL however there is no grassy area to walk them and the cars go very fast around the corner just up the stairs so you have to keep that leash on!! We made do but it was not easy finding spots for the dogs to ‘go’. We were warned of this fact beforehand but decided we could work with it. The power went out first day for 6 hours and we were never able to get the jacuzzi hot again after it cooled down from that ( even after unplugging and restarting) Also the tv buffered constantly making watching tv very frustrating. Having said that, the spot was relaxing and clean. The king bed was comfy and the shower had great water pressure.

Great week on Lake Lure
Wonderful lake house directly on Lake Lure (cove). Property was as described, great amenities, comfortable bed, quiet (at the end of draw down). Convenient to grocery/gas/ great food and things to do. Owner was very communicative and very attentive to come check all equipment (canoes, paddle board, kayak) when the lake opened. Great views from every deck (upstairs, side and by the hot tub). Best restful vacation and will definitely return!

Host profile image
I am an entrepreneur with a wide range of interests. My professional background is in acoustics, but I'm also interested in lots more. I play the upright bass (not well...), love cycling, and hiking in the beautiful mountains here in Western North Carolina.
We've named our company Banjoe Vacations, after all of our names. B is for Bruce, 'an' is for Anna, our youngest daughter. 'jo' is for my wife Jo, and 'e' is for my oldest daughter Erin. We offer lots of different vacation options, from a lakefront cottage suitable for the whole family to a romantic apartment right in the heart of town.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is built on the water, making this the ultimate lake escape.
