Location: Lake Lure, Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, USA (1 hour from Asheville, 45 minutes from Spartanburg) View Map
Accommodations: Log Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-7)
This cozy log cabin embraces you from the moment you enter - any time of year. Whether it's morning coffee on the porch, savoring the sunset over the mountains from the deck, enjoying the beach on a sunny summer day at Mirror Lake or Lake Lure, or cuddling in front of the fire on a winter's eve, you are encouraged to catch your breath, sigh, and relax in a tranquil, natural setting in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Perhaps the windowseat will beckon to you to indulge in a good book or a well-deserved nap. Or enjoy lunch in the screened in porch.
Springtime brings the cabin's great show of azaleas and dogwoods in bloom. Share the deck during the summer with the hummingbirds by day and the fireflies in the evening. The variety of trees provides a colorful, wondrous autumn. Winter views are majestic.
NEW FEATURE: Broadband (high speed internet) is now installed at the cabin! Enjoy the convenience of WiFi from the porch.
Located in a Riverbend, a gated community, you have use of its amenities just a 5 minute drive from the cabin: Mirror Lake (a pretty private lake with swimming beach), covered picnic pavillion overlooking the lake, easy access to the Broad River for fishing, swimming, or adventuring, and a scenic picnic area along the river.
Lovingly furnished with an eclectic mix of antiques and rustic pieces, the great room has a fireplace, cathedral ceiling, skylights, and ceiling fans. TV, VCR, DVD player and a collection of movies, satellite TV, WiFi DSL internet, and board games provide entertainment. Sleeping accommodations offer two bedrooms (one king; one queen) and two full baths (linens provided). Ceiling fan in each room. A futon in the great room converts to a double bed, and a rollaway bed is also available. Linens provided. Central heat and air.
The kitchen is fully equipped including refrigerator/freezer, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster over, coffee maker, blender, crock pot, pots and pans, utensils, and dishes.
Favorite spots are the deck and screened porch. A hammock chair, cedar porch swing, gas grill, and patio furniture are provided for your enjoyment. Or laze in the double hammock under the trees.
Try tubing on the Broad River, shopping in the charming villages of Chimney Rock, Bat Cave, Rutherfordton, or Black Mountain, taking a narrated boat tour of Lake Lure, visiting the Biltmore Estate, or playing at the water park at Lake Lure. Three golf courses are within a ten minute drive. Marvel at the view from the top of Chimney Rock.
A variety of restaurants are within a 5 to 20 minute drive, and the cabin "handbook" includes menus from many of them.
Well behaved pets are warmly welcomed! The deck is enclosed with a railing and connects via a stairway to a fenced-in yard.
No smoking please.

Cozy and Comfortable Log Cabin - Pet Friendly
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Lake Lure
Although only a two hour drive from Columbia, SC, the Lake Lure area is a world away from the city. The scenic vistas inspire and soothe the soul. The area offers a variety of activities, including golf, swimming, boating, hiking, antiquing, fishing, and horseback riding. My personal favorite is walking with the dogs from the cabin to Amy's Ridge to marvel at the view.
The Unique Benefits at this Log Cabin
The cabin is in a private setting on over an acre on a gated road, yet it is convenient to the grocery store, restaurants, and the area attractions. Being in a gated community, guests have access to a private lake with swimming beach and a scenic picnic area along the river. The town of Lake Lure with a large town beach is only a 15 min. drive.
This store is huge! Large deli, bakery, organic produce, book store, pharmacy, gas station, etc. Only a 10 min. drive from the cabin.
Right across the street from Ingles Supermarket, this is a network of several trails.
Located on the east end of lake Lure. Excellent food, excellent service, and beautiful view of the lake. Restaurant upstairs; outside informal eating and sports bar down stairs.
If you're a golfer on a budget, this is the place for you! Very scenic, but budget friendly 9 hole course.
Private lake with swimming beach located in the gated community of Riverbend.
Owner's Map of Lake Lure
The "Boys" and I enjoy walks and play time, both at the cabin and at home. Daily walks help me to appreciate nature with new eyes every morning. I'm a former teacher and college professor and currently do training and customer support for a software company.
