5 Bedroom Cottage in Lake Lure

Summary:
Welcome to Lake Lure! Leave the world behind as you ride the funicular down to The Enchanted Cottage. The indoor living space will make you feel at home, but the real magic happens when you step onto the porch and greet the beautiful Lake Lure! This classic lakefront house features three porches, a fire pit, dock, and pontoon boat available to rent. We have a great view, overlooking the mountains, Rumbling Bald Ridge across the lake, and the spots of some famous scenes from Dirty Dancing.
The Space:
Due to Hurricane Helene, The lake will be closed to all use for the summer of 2025
The Boat house rooftop deck will not be available for the 2025 season. We have torn it down and will rebuild it in the off season. The dock is still available for your use during your stay.
The Enchanted Cottage has four bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, plus two twin beds in the downstairs rec room. All linens are provided, along with additional blankets for chilly nights. There are three full bathrooms, equipped with towels, soaps, and shampoo.
Our large dining table seats 10, and nearby bar stools seat two more.
We have board games, puzzles, and a foosball table for rainy days and family time.
There is a full kitchen with a drip coffee maker, microwave, crockpot … just about everything you need.
The cottage has central AC and heat, but you may end up not using the AC, as the cool breeze off the lake feels fantastic!
A gas log fireplace is there to warm you up in the chillier months.
Our large, screened porch with two ceiling fans is perfect for rocking, dining, playing games, napping, or listening to music (and it's big enough for everyone).
The outdoor fire pit is a great spot for making S'mores and reconnecting.
If you would like to rent the pontoon boat please let us know so we can get you in touch with the boat captain. The cost is $650 for the duration of your stay.
Guest Access:
Total access to the whole house and all of the porches/decks/docks you can handle! You can get to the main floor by simply riding the funicular, but you'll need to walk down a couple of flights of stairs to get to the boat house. One important note - our tram adds an incredible amount of convenience, but it is not always available 100% of the time. Power outages or maintenance issues sometimes mean the tram won't be available. Anyone staying with us needs to understand that climbing the stairs may be necessary.
The Neighborhood:
One of our visitors had this to say about the Enchanted Cottage: “The house is nice but you honestly don't spend much time in it. The dock and porches are fantastic. The use of the boat is great for driving out to a cove and swimming or finding the rope swing.”
We feel the same way!
Our large screened porch with two ceiling fans is perfect for rocking, dining, playing games, napping, or listening to music (and it’s big enough for everyone). The outdoor fire pit is a great spot for enjoying making S’mores and telling tall tales. And be sure to head out to the top of the boat house for some incredible star gazing!
Getting Around:
This area is car dependent. We have parking spaces for up to 4 vehicles. If you have more than 4 vehicles, you will have to make arrangements for parking your extras cars elsewhere.
Other Things to Note:
Our pontoon boat is your ticket to enjoying all of Lake Lure. Cruise the lake (license required, but we can help you get it quickly), catch some fish (permit required), and boat to some of the lake's restaurants. If you are interested in using our pontoon boat we do ask for $650 for unlimited use (most places on the lake rent them for over $800/day). The boat is typically available from late April through the October**.
**Additional note about our boat house. We suffered some damage to the deck above the boat house over the winter. For a host of reasons we were unable to complete the repairs before the busy summer season. The decision was made that it would be less disruptive for our guest's stays if we waited until the winter season to finish that project. Therefore, for the next several months, the upper deck on the boat house will not be available.
Interaction with Guests:
The host is always available. All contact info will be provided before check in. Please do no hesitate to reach out during your stay.

Summary: Our family of five (adults with kids/young adults ages 15, 18, 21) had a great time at the Enchanted Cottage. The property is beautiful and suited for everyone with access to a pontoon boat, kayaks, and SUPs. The screened in porch was perfect for mornings and evening together and the younger members in our group enjoyed the lower level after we retired for the evening. We loved taking the boat out to find places to swim and relax, and enjoyed baking day trips to surrounding places. We went rafting, zip lining, glass blowing in Asheville, and explored Grand Father Mountain--so much to see and do! The only snafu with our trip was related to the recent change in property management--we did not receive the communications about this and were left in a bit of a black hole for a few weeks while attempting to communicate with the previous owner/manager, but after doing some investigation on my own was able to connect with the new company and they were great. Rest assured that your reservation is secure if you made it with the previous owner/manager and are having trouble connecting. I only wish they had been a bit more proactive in preventing this pre-vacation stress. Otherwise, it was a beautiful property and great vacation, and no complaints at all with the new company who was gracious and responsive after finally connecting!
