Location: Lake Lure, Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA (Lake Lure) View Map
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 7-9)
O'Neals Irish Blessing is a vintage lakefront cabin with incredible views. We are located on the main lake, not stuck back in a cramped cove. We have the best of both worlds! A main lake location with a secluded swimming area and privacy. You will park right outside the door for easy unloading and one step up into the house. The entry-level has an open floor plan with a great room, kitchen, dining area, full bath with shower tub, and a king bed room. A screen porch off the great room overlooks the lake, mountains, and swimming area. Downstairs you'll find a bedroom with a double bed, den, and full bath with a large tile shower stall. The third sleeping area is a large semi-private den with three twins, a crib, and pull-out sofa. Two twins can be combined to make a king bed.
Leaving the downstairs you exit onto a covered patio with a gas grill, picnic table, and porch swing. (Our favorite place for enjoying the sunset!) Steps from the patio continue down to the waterfront. Sunbathers will love the 30x30 foot deck above the boat house. Daredevils will want to jump into the cool water 20 feet below. Adventurers will launch the 16 foot canoe for some peaceful exploration. We have an excellent protected swimming area just off the main lake. The house faces west towards an undeveloped section of the lake. If it rains, don't worry, the screened porch is a perfect place to rock away an afternoon. Your reward will be hearing and seeing distant waterfalls across the lake.

Why the Owner Chose Lake Lure
My wife's mom was born in the area and wanted to have a vacation home close to her roots. We always have fun either on the water or enjoying attractions like Chimney Rock.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
A convenience store is a quick five minute drive and a full service grocery store is a scenic 15 minute drive away. My favorite time of day is enjoying a morning cup of coffee on the screened porch. The daylight increases until the sun lights up the granite mountain-face across the lake.
Owner's Map of Lake Lure
Our family lives in Raleigh, NC but has always enjoyed time in the mountains. We have two children and a canine that we rescued from the local SPCA.
