About this house rental

Experience a piece of history in this 1928 family lodge.

Walking to downtown Lake Lure is what makes this home one of our most popular vacation rentals. You can WALK TO DOWNTOWN LAKE LURE beach, marina, park, children's playground, restaurants, and convenience store. There's a boardwalk along the water's edge that leads from the beach to the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge. It's all within WALKING DISTANCE! This home is just a few minutes' drive to Chimney Rock Village where there's more great restaurants, shops, and attractions. In the Village, you can walk by a bold rushing river or visit Chimney Rock State Park. You can fish nearby with the proper permits!

Luremont Cottage was built about the same time as the Lake Lure Dam. The home is constructed from chestnut trees, taken from where the lake is now formed. The trees were cut and milled on-site. Wormy chestnut was used throughout this 2500 square foot home.

Step back in time as you enter this spectacular lodge to an open inviting floor plan with high beamed ceilings and wood floors. The living room features sectional sofa, large side chairs, game table, and 1920's wrought iron lighting fixtures. Watch your favorite shows on the large flat screen TV with satellite cable. Yes, we have WIFI and a few Smart TVs. NOTE: THE FIREPLACE IS FROM THE 1920's AND IS NOT OPERATIONAL.

The wide plank dining room table comfortably seats ten people. Extra seating is available at the game table in the living room or at the two outside patio tables. Serving meals is easy, as the kitchen is steps away from the dining area. The kitchen also has a rear door to the outside tables and barbecue patio.

The kitchen has a balance of old charm and modern amenities. Stand at the original farm sink and enjoy winter views of the lake and gorgeous wooded views year-round. Today's conveniences include an over sized stainless-steel refrigerator freezer, electric oven / stove, dishwasher, and microwave. A full size laundry room has newer washer, dryer, and folding table.

As you explore the rest of this home, you'll immediately discover the unique floor plan. Up just five stairs from the living room is what we call the “Main Bedroom Area”. On this level you will find TWO BEDROOMS and full bathroom. The first of these two bedrooms features a KING SIZE BED, wall mounted flat screen TV, dresser, and closet. The second bedroom on this level features a QUEEN SIZE BED and wall mounted flat screen TV, dresser and closet. The full bathroom has a claw foot tub and shower.

Another short set of steps leads to the upper level. Here you'll find THREE BEDROOMS, a full bathroom, and a den. The first of three upper level bedrooms features a KING SIZE BED, seating area, flat screen TV, dresser, and closet. The second bedrooms features a QUEEN SIZE BED and tall dresser. The third bedroom has a FULL SIZE BED. The upper level full bathroom has another claw foot tub and shower. There's also a DEN with sofa, games, and a flat screen TV. In the loft hallways area are two additional TWIN BEDS that are more appropriate for kids because of the slope of the ceiling and lack of privacy. But it's great extra sleeping flexibility.

Abundant outdoor living area is what makes this house so amazing. First and foremost, there is an abundance of outdoor seating. The giant covered porch has a wicker sofa and side chairs just in case it rains. The stone patio that runs the length of the home has two sets of table and chairs for dining. A door from the kitchen leads to a wood deck with gas barbecue and more seating.

*** Lake Lure will be undergoing a drawdown starting January 1st, through the first quarter (March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet has been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. No personal watercraft will be allowed on the lake during this time. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. For more information about the annual lake drawdown, please contact the Town of Lake Lure.

This has classic rustic charm with lots of big rooms and bedrooms for the family. During one of the hottest weeks in the summer, this house is always shaded by lots of trees. So we were able to sit on the porches to get fresh air. From the porch on the weekend, we could hear live music in the afternoon from the Grill down the street, which we enjoyed. We liked being able to walk to places to eat, the beach and a good location to walk for exercise. There are stairs to enter the house, their are about 6-7 stairs to a bathroom so definitly for the able-bodied person. There's no Keurig The owners were always available and checked in a few times to make sure everything was going well. We would stay here again.

It is bigger than the pictures make it look. In a great location walking distance to the beach. Kitchen is extremely well stocked. Plenty of outside seating and nice grill. Could use a bit more light inside but that depends on feel you are looking for. Communication and responsiveness were excellent. Overall great cabin.

This cottage was perfect for our mini family vacation. I am absolutely in love with this old cottage and all its charm. It is exactly what I think a mountain/lake cottage should be. The floor plan was great, allowing our group to all be together in the large living/dining space, or outside on the deck, porch, or patio; but it also gave everyone their own private space as well. My 6 year granddaughter, after touring the house and bedrooms, promptly declared the “secret room” (the upstairs room with the full size bed) as hers. My grandkids, ages 10 months to 6 years, had so much fun with the blocks and toys provided, and we read quite a few bedtime books from the little children’s library upstairs. We used every outdoor space multiple times. On Friday and Saturday nights, we enjoyed sitting on the back deck talking while also listening to the live music floating up the hill from Lured Market. Sadly, the beach is closed this time of year, as my grandchildren would have loved to play in the sand and get their feet wet. The only slight disappointment was that the fire pit had been removed from the property, apparently needing to be repaired. We had been looking forward to an outdoor fire to make s’mores. Suggestion: a portable baby gate for the stairs, and maybe a few extra blankets for the beds as needed. You can feel the love and fun family times of old that infuse the wood of the gorgeous old cottage! I would rent again in a minute!

House is situated close to a lot of site seeing/hike trails. We visited in June, the beach was overcrowded on weekends. The sounds from the beach area are loud…the house was wonderful. Old, historic. Kitchen well stocked. Parking was tight. We enjoyed our stay.

We truly enjoyed staying in this cottage. It sleeps 12, but was extremely roomy for our party of 5 adults. We loved the old style farmers kitchen sink and the claw foot bath tubs. Although the ladies in the group are short and found it a little difficult getting into and out of the tubs. There were several drawbacks we had for this property. One was the lack of cell service. We were in town for a wedding and had absolutely no way of communicating with other family members. No calls or texts could be made or received from the cottage. There was cell service about 2.5 miles away at Ingles grocery store. We wish that there could have been a land line in the house. My concern was if there was a medical emergency in the middle of the night, we could not call 911. Also, the fire pit outside would not light. We called to report it and it was not repaired at the time of our departure. And lastly, the drains in the main bathroom for the sink and bathtub were very slow to drain. Minor issues, other than lack of cell service. We had such a great time at the cottage and visiting Lake Lure. It is a great place to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of today's world!
