LAKE LURE LAKEFRONT | FIBER OPTIC INTERNET | FANTASTIC DOCK AREA | THREE KAYAKS FOR WATER FUN!
Welcome to Cottage in the Cove!
IMPORTANT: Linens and towels are not provided at this property, nor is a washer/dryer. There are a lot of stairs to access the cottage, but it's worth it!
Wow! That was a lot of stairs, but you made it, and now look what a sweet cottage you are in the right on the water! Before making the beds and putting out the towels, let's look around. Look at that view! Let's walk through the kitchen and the living room to go out the back door - everyone wants to see the lake. I love looking at it from the kitchen and living room windows, but it will be even better out here. Look at the single chair sitting beneath the trees overlooking the lake; it reminds me of the perfect place for the strong, silent type to sit or the one who likes their coffee with a spoonful of reflection. What a cozy fire pit and little cove - there's not much privacy, but this is really cute and comfortable! A great place to stay when you have activities planned, such as coming to town for a wedding, trail riding at a local stable, hiking, or going to Biltmore. You will get a workout with the stairs, but who doesn't need a little heart health and muscle building? Get that circulation moving! Did you rent a boat or plan on using the kayaks that are provided? This place is also perfect for those who want a lot of lake time adventure!
Let's go back inside and check out the house. Yes, the living room is comfortable with a pretty view and an open floor plan, and the kitchen seems perfect for cooking up some greens, beans, and cornbread while watching the sunset. Now, off to the downstairs bathroom and then upstairs. Wow, this bathroom is really nice! It's been redone like the rest of the house and has a modern feel. There is a dehumidifier here; it's not because the house is moist; it's just to protect this lakefront home from too much moisture from sitting so close to the water. Don't worry, you don't have to do anything about it, and it's hushed. Let's go upstairs using the charming spiral staircase. You can also access the upstairs by going in an upper door from outside, but let's go this way this time. You might find you use it every time! The upstairs is like an adorable cottage. Who's sleeping on the daybed? Anyone? If not, I want to read a book and take a nap there! The upstairs bedroom is delightful,l and the tastefully remodeled modern half bathroom can be accessed from both the day bed sleeping area and the bedroom. Enjoy your stay, and don't forget to add something to the guest journal!
Pontoon Boat Rental Available
Interested in renting a pontoon boat to immerse yourselves in the lakefront living lifestyle fully? Rent a pontoon boat and take the whole crew, up to 8 people! We are happy to offer you the best pontoon rental prices around!
AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2025, through the first quarter of 2025 (March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have 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. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. 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. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

A wonderful stay for a dad and his two daughters on Fathers Day wknd. It was our favorite vacation and booked it again next summer. The pontoon boat rental was out first and was as much fun as breathtaking with all the views. There are great places to eat on the water and a short walk from the beach. The 3 kayaks and paddle board were great also. The steps down to the cabin were very doable, especially since we had a giant roof rack bag. Made 1 trip down and took stuff back up in pieces on the way out as needed. Internet worked great, local cell coverage is spotty. So I suggest downloading the area map onto your phone for navigation. Great local deer spotting as well.

We really enjoyed the view and easy access to the lake from this cottage. Perfect location to do some kayaking and also hiking up at Chimney Rock.

Location was great in a little cove on the water. The house was well maintained, clean, and felt like home. I would highly recommend this for a small family, couple, or friends getaway.

This is a cute little house on the lake. No joke about the steps leading down to the house though. 91 steps! Pack light so you don’t have to make a bunch of trips up and down the steps. Definitely bring your own linens and towels. There was some confusion about that during our booking but the property manager was very helpful. It’s definitely a cute house for a short stay on the lake. Our kids loved it.

A quaint, peaceful weekend at the lake. The cottage was clean and enjoyable. The stairs are no joke but worth the trek!

I read a lot of reviews about this property before booking. I agree, there are a couple of minor issues: 1.) There are some steep steps to navigate down to the property and back up to the road. 2.) To unload your backpacks, bedding or anything that goes into the upstairs bedrooms, you do need to do that through the upstairs door to the top floor of the house. However, there’s a narrow spiral staircase between floors inside the house. Apart from these “Minor Issues”, the property was excellent! Right on the water with two Kayaks available, a grill, excellent WiFi, good fishing, excellent shower room, a couple of nice restaurants and convenience store within 20 mins and (while we were there) quiet at night! We will stay there again!

Overall an amazing stay. The cabin was perfect for a fun vacation/getaway. The views of the mountains and location being right on the lake was perfect. Overall me and my family had a great time and I would love to come back some day!

It was a good place to stay with regards to the area. It was very quiet which we enjoyed. Other than the stairs it was a great place to stay. Future guests should be aware of the steps. Thanks.

Tons of Fun!
Cute and cozy, very relaxing. The drive was beautiful with plenty of nature to be seen. The cove is very peaceful and there is plenty of kayaking, floating and boat rentals available. My wife and I are 60 and in good shape so we made the stairs part of our exercise program.
4.4
The house is adorable and the view is stunning over the lake. The stairs to get to and from the property can be a difficult so something to keep in mind before renting. It was quite the workout for my legs! There is also no wifi connection which is fine if you can still get service which we could in certain parts of the house but it would definitely be a nice addition so that it would be easier to look things up and plan on the go. Overall we had a wonderful time just relaxing and enjoying the view!

Must be physically fit to stay here!
We had a short stay at this property for a wedding. The cottage is cute, but there is NO INTERNET, or cell phone service! There are 72 stairs you have to go up and down to get to your vehicle/into the cottage. Not for anyone with a physical disability. There is a very small spiral staircase that leads to the bedroom, which isn't easy for adults to climb due to its size. My husband and I are in good shape, and both on the slender side, yet we still had difficulty with the outdoor stairs and indoor spiral staircase.

The physical layout of the place was quite nice, and the description stated 72 steps down to the property, but we expected that and it was quite nice to stay right along the lake. The key problem was that the description stated the location of the property very precisely by distance to different landmarks. Those distances turned out to be to the property rental office. This unit was 6 miles further. It turned out that we were able to find a very nice walk so the weekend worked out okay. But I absolutely do not recommend anyone rent from a place that lies about the location of its property. Incidentally, the place came with no towels and sheets, and it took a few phone calls to convince the staff that the check-in instructions absolutely stated these would be provided. But they were delivered. We didn't need to go through a few phone calls to do this. But to me, lying about the location of the property was the big problem for any property being rented by this company.

The cabin was amazing we loved it!!!!
The only problem was the stairs. I think it should be clear in the listing the amount of stairs you have to access the property. People who have physical limitations would be very disappointed to book and arrive to find so many stairs.

We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend at this cute cabin. PROS- Cute and cozy cabin- Super clean- 2 kayaks for use- Fire pit- More well-equipped kitchen than expected from previous reviews - Now have a kitchen table- We DID get one bar of cell service upstairs in the house!CONS- 72 stairs from car to front door- No sheets or towels provided- No WiFi or DVD player- Zero privacy from adjacent houses- Kitchen light hung so low that anyone taller than 5’5” will bonk their head- Can’t open bedroom windows to enjoy the weather bc there are no screens- Spotlight from adjacent house shines right in the bedroom (even with shades)

Family Getaway
Perfect size. Loved the deck and water access. Décor is quaint. Here is where too many issues to return. There are 3 stories worth of steps to get down to house. If coming and going at night, no lights on all those steps. If you have kayaks, good luck getting them down and back up. If you have bikes, again same. No table in house, but perfect space in living room for folding wall-mounted table. You have to use tray tables and furniture is so low, your food is in your face. Light in kitchen so low, husband kept hitting head all week. Little to no pots & pans and most of what is there is not cooking worthy. Only two plates. Caterpillars appear in bathroom and shower daily. Window AC unit upstairs blows across bed and is so loud, is hard to sleep. Deck outside needs pressure-washed and is very slick when wet. Also has a lot of screws protruding you could catch a bare foot on. Gutter drips on two bottom deck steps constantly so those two are always slick. We were only able to get one bar of cell service occasionally on outside deck. Without landline at house, if emergency requiring 911 was needed, it would not be good situation. This is a cute house, but has a lot of simple fixes that could make it safer and more enjoyable.
