Welcome to THE RETREAT at Pinnacle Mountain. The RETREAT is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains near Lake Lure and Rutherfordton, NC. The cabin is located in a mountain wilderness community called "The Pinnacle". Four wheel drive vehicles are recommended to travel the neighborhood; the road is gravel and has steep climbs to reach the cabin.
Relax, unwind, stare at the incredible view; you are in for a treat! Don't miss the BEST sunset view in Western NC, gaze directly upon Chimney Rock and Bald Mountain. The view is wide and deep and shows numerous layers of the mysterious Blue Ridge Mountains.
The moment you walk in the door across the wide-planked pine floors, you will be spoiled by the cabin's cozy and well-appointed furnishings and decor. The Retreat comfortably sleeps 6, with 2 queen beds in one bedroom and 1 king on the third floor loft. 2 full baths and a cook's kitchen decked out better than at home will meet all your comforts. The main living area boasts a soaring 2-story-vaulted living room and makes the log cabin a dream. The dining area hosts a table which comfortably seats 6 to 10 people on cowhide upholstered dining chairs and looks out towards the amazing mountain view.
To fully take advantage of the view, an amazing covered sleeping porch with built-in couches (great for a lazy mountain day) and custom painted wood floor is the only place to be. The upper sleeping porch sits above a lower covered porch and a newly completed outdoor deck holding a SIX-PERSON JACUZZI. The minute you sink into the jacuzzi for the sunset view, you might not ever choose to leave! To complete the stay in the jacuzzi, make sure you see the star engulfed sky!
While the Retreat is designed for nature enthusiasts, the cabin is adorned so that the city slicker can enjoy this home too. Come, stay, get a full dose of life out of the fast lane...you never know what you will discover in the raw nature of Pinnacle Mountain, you might see bear, wild turkey, bobcats, and of course, it is the mountains, so expect to see some bugs!
We hope you will come enjoy a relaxing stay at The RETREAT at Pinnacle Mountain!

Why the Owner Chose Pinnacle Mountain
If you live near the western North Carolina mountains, it is hard to resist their beauty. After numerous trips to the area, it became my dream to own a log cabin in the mountains, especially the Blue Ridge Mountains!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The RETREAT at Pinnacle Mountain is a place that was designed to have ALL of the amenities of home and to be a place where you come to RELAX, UNWIND, and RECHARGE! While the house is located near TONS of fun day trips and destinations (Chimney Rock, Beautiful Lake Lure, The Blue Ridge Parkway, etc.) once you reach the house, you won't want to leave it. The VIEW is wide and layered deep with several layers of mountains. One can hardly resist sitting on the porch and experiencing sunset every late afternoon.
A MUST DO, while at the RETREAT at the Pinnacle. Wonderful trails, an elevator to the top, a sky lounge, and of course, the BEST view of Lake Lure. The movie 'Last of the Mohicans' was filmed at the
The home of the movie 'Dirty Dancing'. You have to take the boat tour of the lake to see the incredible million dollar views and homes. The Lake Lure Beach area is a great way to spend the day.
A great day trip from the Cabin. Black Mountain is a wonderful place to pick up great local artists' creations. Great Restaurants, make sure an get pizza while in town!
Go for an easy hike and see the beautiful Linville Gorge and Falls! Great place to take the family and go for a picnic!
A wonderful waterfall and very easy hike. One of our favorites! Great for an easy walk to the falls and easy for taking a picnic! This is listed as one the the falls to see in North Carolina!
