About this cottage rental

Five Oaks is a cozy one-bedroom lakeview guest cottage situated on beautiful Lake Lure. It is the perfect spot for a romantic relaxing getaway vacation for two, or for a couple with one or two small children. Lake Lure is nestled in the narrow groove of Hickory Nut Gorge just 25 miles southeast of Asheville, NC. It was named by National Geographic as one of the ten most beautiful man-made lakes in the world. Several movies, including Dirty Dancing have been filmed at Lake Lure. There is a never-ending variety of outdoor activities to be enjoyed in and around the lake, including swimming, fishing, diving, kayaking, canoeing, and hiking.

Five Oaks Cottage was built in 2005 and is tastefully decorated and equipped with a full kitchen and bath with shower. We supply linens, towels, and hygiene products for our guests and an information booklet listing local activities and attractions to help make each guest's stay both memorable and enjoyable. Guests have full access to the dock and boathouse rooftop deck for swimming, fishing, lounging, and enjoying the spectacular views of the lake, the gorge, and Chimney Rock Park. We also provide use of a canoe and a kayak so you can tour the lake and visit sites of interest such as the cove where portions of Dirty Dancing were filmed. There are also some very nice restaurants that can be reached by water.

The cottage is situated behind the main house and has lake views from most windows and from the attached deck. The cottage is therefore not lakefront, but rather lake access. The boathouse and dock are about 150 feet in front of the cottage. About 15 stone steps lead down to the ground level of the main house. A stone pathway then leads you around the house. Another 15 steps will take you to the rooftop deck atop the boathouse, and another 15 steps will take you down to the dock at water level. Having to negotiate steps down to the water is the norm at Lake Lure because it is a mountain lake and the shoreline is steep. There are very few lodgings on Lake Lure that do not require the traversing of many steps to reach water level. Five Oaks Cottage actually has fewer steps to the water than many. Still, it may not be suitable for older folks or those with disabilities.

The cottage is equipped with wireless internet, a TV with satellite reception, a DVD player, and a collection of DVDs. Five Oaks is the cottage where the author/owner conceived and wrote the popular series of children's books called The Lake Lure Chronicles (Google 'Lake Lure Chronicles' to view). We believe you will thoroughly enjoy your stay at Five Oaks and will create many lasting memories of this most beautiful and peaceful place.

This stay exceeded our expectations by far. Did not know what to expect and have never used this method to go on vacation before. The on line pictures do not do it justice but most of all, the peace and calm of the area, sitting by the water late afternoon with a toddy, total quietness in the AM to sleep in, could not have asked for anything more.

We had a perfect weekend at the five oaks cottage. We were here back in 2019 and everything is just as we remembered: cozy, convenient, and helpful hosts. David and Penny were very welcoming and supplied us with a few things we didn’t have. The canoe and kayak were a great touch. We will be back!!!

Wonderful place, quiet, restful and scenic. The host are wonderful and very welcoming. The modern home we stayed in was awesome and everything the pictures show. The kayak was so much fun to take in the water and sitting on the dock reading was great. I also did a couple of canon balls in the lake off the dock . My husband and I felt blessed to be there. Our mini vacation was the best !!We will stay again for longer next time.

Cozy, easy to get to, full use of dock w chairs and firepit below owners home. Fire ban kept us from using the firepit but we enjoyed the few day getaway from our home just an hour away. Turn off main road is right by Flower Bridge. Nice walks around the lake and neighborhood.

The property is very small but fine for a couple plus one. We had expected a little closer proximity to the lake based on photos. There were many steps down to the dock which was hard for people our age so we didn’t really use the dock or boats. The view from the cabin was a bit disappointing too not as expected. We also had a hard time maneuvering the winding road and tiny parking spot. Except for these minor things it was a clean and cute place to stay and the owner was as friendly as could be. If you’re in good shape to get down to the dock it’s beautiful.

My wife and I along with my buddy Louie (he's a good dog) spent two wonderful weeks here on Lake Lure. Canoing, kayaking, floating on tubes...nice and relaxing. And, jumping off the boathouse is a must! Great location for checking out the area too, Black Mountain, Asheville, etc. Hosts were fantastic and made our stay very nice indeed. Hopefully we will be back next year. Thanks!

Very comfortable and beautiful scenery; hosts gave us privacy and were welcoming. Will stay here again. The views are amazing. Must be able to climb the slope and stairs to the lake but it is worth it. Loved unplugging at this rustic retreat.
