About this property

Summer Specials!!! Best Waterfront on Lake Lure. Family Fun!

We BOAST the BEST WATERFRONT on Lake Lure ... Perfect for water lovers and water watchers. Our beautiful, newly constructed, boat house includes a big dock for rocking chairs both in or out of the sun... We have a water level dock that allows you to dangle your feet in the water just to get cooled down.

For a full swim, our wide steps allow you to slowly enter the water.....or you can be adventuresome and jump or dive off the end of each of our swim docks or really get out there by jumping off the top of our double slotted boat house.... Quite a thrill... No one has ever touched bottom by jumping off the top of our boat house.

For sun lovers, bring your sunscreen cause our boat house deck is huge and gets full sun all day.... but when you get hot, all you have to do is jump off the top for a quick cool down. We supply ski belts, just to be safe... also blue rubberized floats.

For shade lovers, rock comfortably on our shade screened lakefront porch or sit on our outside fully shaded patio with hammock. You can still see all the action on the lake. In fact all of the rooms in our cottage have a beautiful view of Rumbling Bald Mountain and the lake.

So we are nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Appalachian Chain, on the crystal clear, emerald waters of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world (National Geographic 1954), our lake front cottage's perfect location allows for active as well as 'laid back' vacationers during all seasons. With three, 18 hole golf courses in a three mile radius, municipal tennis courts, horseback riding, sight seeing, shopping, water sports, and wonderful restaurants within in a 20 minute drive, our guests can play till they drop.

Swimming, skiing, and floating the lake's currents are wonderful activities May through September, after which you will need a wet-suit and a warm wood fire blazing in our fireplace. Be certain to bring hot chocolate! But most of all ENJOY IT ALL!

Our cottage has 4 bedrooms on the upper level there is a bedroom with a king and queen bed, and a second bedroom with a double. There is a bath room on the upper level. On the main level there is a bath and a bedroom with a king bed and a single bed. On the lower level is a bunk room (not accessible from main house, has own entrance) queen bed and a bathroom. Perfect for children of all ages.. plus 2 sleeping cots on the lake front porch

Labor day

We had a lovely time once again on lake lure! We go every year around this time and love being right on the water for swimming and floating. This home was perfect the boat house deck allowed room for us to spread out and play. Well equipped, cozy house! The host was always responsive when we had questions!

Picture perfect views

Great week at the lake!!!!! The large deck provides georgous views of the lake. We really enjoyed eating, napping and playing games on the screened porch. My kids enjoyed jumping from the deck and fishing. Great location, great house and great relaxing week at the lake. We also enjoyed dinners at La Strada, Highlands and Riverwatch in Chimney Rock. If you are interested in renting a boat or waterskiing/tubing, book in advance as they book up fast.

very good

The property location was outstanding, though I think any more than 8 is a little crowded. Had a few issues, (mostly supplies) but the owner was always contactable and quick to fix them. We had a very good time, and they had several lake supplies/toys to use.

Great Location, Perfect Views, Highly Recommended

We loved hanging out on top of the boathouse with a cocktail or 4. The views were spectacular and the water was deep - jumping off the top of the boathouse was a highlight for sure! The house was spacious with plenty of beds to choose from. Communication with the owner was great. He made himself available for any and all questions and comments we had before/during/after the trip. Overall it was a great experience!

Truly Great Spot on Lake Lure

Very homey and comfortable cottage on Lake Lure. The sun porch was our favorite spot. We played board games there and had meals. We had a few days with sun and a few overcast/rainy days. It was a lovely retreat. We enjoyed pontoon boating twice from Lake Lure Adventures (Don't Use Anyone Else!) and even jumped off into the cold lake :) We had meals at the Lake House and the Highlands Kitchen and Bar. Both of these were great experiences. The only constructive input would be to update linens as they smelled musty and not clean to us . We weren't able to use the washer (as it would not agitate) or the fireplace as it needed to be checked out for the upcoming winter season first. Jason the owner was very responsive and helpful. Absolutely everything else was amazing and we would definitely go back.

Lake House Review

The boat house and view of the lake/mountains was amazing. My friends and I loved hanging on the water and jumping off the boathouse. The house itself was old school but had a lot of character. Parking was a little tight so you would need to get creative if you have more than 5 cars. The internet was spotty/not good at times and the upstairs toilet unfortunately stopped working after the first day. It is worth noting there was a power outage the first night that impacted a large portion of houses on the lake so that may have had a part to play in the internet not working very well the remainder of the weekend. Aside from the internet and toilet struggles, we enjoyed the house and had a great weekend.

Paradise in Western NC

The Allens' cottage is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the lake and the view. The house is so charming and decorated with historic prints showing the past of the area. It has mostly tile and hardwood floors and lovely scenery looking out from all the windows. Even washing dishes is a pleasure while gazing at the lake and mountains. Our son brought a paddleboard and spent hours on the lake. We are older and were happy rocking on the screen porch or sitting on top of the boat house. The house is convenient to several nice restaurants. Most have outdoor seating which was nice with our small dog. There are lots of steps involved on the interior and exterior of the house but most are wide and have handrails that make it very manageable. We have rented many vacation rentals through this site in Maine ,Montana, CO. etc. but the views from this home are as beautiful as we have experienced. Loved it!

Wonderful place to vacation!

The property was in a beautiful area with a great vacation home on a wonderful lake. We were supplied lots of lake toys to play out in the water, a canoe and a beautiful view of the l mountains. We went to La Strata Restaurant one night and to get ice cream another night. The weather was very cooperative. The house was old but comfortable. We would give it a two thumbs up for sure!

Amazing view!!

The description mentions an "old house" but don't let this deter you. It is older, but perfect! The view is the best on the lake, and the deck is amazing! Our kids had great time jumping off of the lower docks and venturing jumping off the big deck. There was also a charcoal grill to cook our meals and a burn pit to do smores at night! We had a great time and will be back again!

Ideal Lake House for our family holiday

Great communication from the outset and throughout the stay. This home is in a great location on the lake, and made many new great memories for us. The outdoor space and dock were perfect for all of us, allowing us to spend lots of hours enjoying the lake. We had everything we needed, and were able to do as we had desired-just relax and enjoy the location. Highly recommend for those looking for a way to enjoy the lake from a great location.

Picturesque older home

Older home with great location. Great deck over boathouse. Enjoyed our time outside. We stayed over Thanksgiving holiday and definitely would be super fun in summer. Unfortunately we did have a few issues with the house. Water quality was an issue, we were a little alarmed with brown water in all sinks and bathrooms. Although we were left with a case of drinking water we did need to purchase additional for cooking and coffee. We had no cable TV. We logged into our Netflix but internet was so slow we couldn’t watch anything - disappointing for wanting to watch a few big football games. Was great except for those issues.

Superb view !

The view is absolutely gorgeous. As much as I was hesitant - our stay was just perfect ! We rented kayaks, boat for tubing, skiing … all the “lake toys” were delivered directly to our house by nearby rental companies. We did some Chimney rock, Asheville and Linville fall sightseeing - of course our days were completed by gorgeous evening with the good beers and we’ll chilled drinks! The house didn’t miss anything for our stay. Our little boy Bull terrier Magnus enjoyed this stay as well ❤️

Best Waterfront Views

Our group ranged in age from 13 to 60's and was a pleasure for all. The house is an old cottage built into the side oh a hill. There are plenty of beds and places to hang out together or separate. The most spectacular feature is the boat house deck with incredible views, plenty of seating and water access. My water family enjoyed it all. Jumping off the deck, swimming, and fishing. My grandson had a goal of catching 3 fish a day and exceeded that some days. My only negatives were some cooking supplies getting out of the neighborhood. There is a sharp turn on a steep hill. My sons didn't mind it..

Memory Maker

Beautiful lakefront property with the most idyllic views of the mountains and water. Our family loves this vintage house with its fabulous and HUGE freshly re-decked boathouse. (our 2nd stay) Multiple outdoor spaces (both shady and sunny) to relax and unwind with family and friends. The living room furniture and mattresses are newish and very comfortable. If you prefer granite counter tops. gourmet kitchen and fancy spa bathrooms this is not the home for you... but if you want the best outdoor spaces and views and well loved vintage family lake house, this is a home run. Jason is very responsive and a nice guy.... pleasure to work with! We will be back!

Beautiful views!!!!

Beautiful setting on the lake! We loved the quintessential feel of the home. The artwork on the walls depict the history of the home and town of Lake Lure beautifully. There is so much history in this home, a family heirloom! Plenty of sleeping space, a functional kitchen and a great screened porch facing the docks and the lake. However, you are not coming here for the house! It’s ALL about the lake! , plenty of beautiful new dock space to lay out, swim, etc. A boat would be a great asset! Lake Lure is a beauty to explore! Great dock to tie up to.

Great vacation

Loved the outside of this property! The sun deck you can jump off of was our favorite and had lots of room to hang out. The dock under the deck was perfect to swim off of, take out the canoe and play on all the floats they had available to use. We also enjoyed the multiple outside sitting areas and tables in the shade up by the house for meals. The house itself is older and needs some updates but has charm. We weren’t there to be inside though so we didn’t mind. We spent all of our time enjoying the lake!
