About this property

Cozy Cabin, Great View, Lake Access, Game Room, Wrap Around Porch

Gummy Bear Cabin is nestled in the beautiful Lake Lure Village Resort and has access to Lake Lure. The open swim area with beach is located a short walk (or drive) past a quaint waterfall. There you will find a welcoming setting with docks, picnic tables, lounge chairs, and a kayak rack that holds two kayaks for your use.

The town is dropping the lake for repairs to the dam Nov through March.

Not only does this cabin have 3 bedrooms 3 baths, a wrap around porch with great views but it also has a game room where you can enjoy a ping pong, or just relax on the couch

The cabin is located 3 miles from the shopping towns of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. The Rocky Broad River flows alongside the town, where you can enjoy restaurants and shops, including an old general store, full of mountain-style gifts.

All within an hour you will find the quaint town of Hendersonville which has many shops, festivals and activities. Asheville (home of the Biltmore Estate) is another great place to visit as well as the the Blue Ridge Park Way, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Sliding Rock and many other waterfalls and hiking trails including the hike up to Chimney Rock.

This property sits in what was once a 100-acre youth camp, with stunning views of the rock-faced Rumbling Bald mountain. You will be able to enjoy this view from your rocking chair on the deck, sitting on the couch in the living room or while your sipping on a cup of coffee in the kitchen.

This beautiful cabin has just been fully remodeled from top to bottom with the most modern conveniences, yet keeping the cabin feel. The top floor consist of a bedroom with queen bed and attached bath. The main floor consist of 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living, dining and kitchen The bottom floor/walkout basement consist of a game room, laundry room and bathroom. So come, sit back and relax where time stands still and let the fun begin.

We ask that there are no Campfires and Charcoal grills on property.
The community does not allow campers or boats to be stored on property or at the beach.

Wonderful Week at the Lake

Great place to stay for an active week of hiking, kayaking, swimming, soccer, basketball, baseball and seeing the sites. Peaceful, quiet cabin to enjoy meals, talking on the porch, watching birds and relaxing. We enjoyed all of it!

We love this place! The view from the deck is second to none. We spent most of our time out there with morning coffee or grilling. The neighborhood is so quiet and the residents are very nice!

Gummy Bee Cbin--Great Place for a Personal Retreat or Having fun with Family

We needed to take a retreat from our everyday demands and this was the perfect place for us. Before arriving, we picked up a few provisions to carry us through those days when we did not feel like going out to eat at a local restaurant. To our surprise, many of the condiments and spices were already on hand. As we went trough our daily rituals, we were so happy to see how thoughtful the owners were in providing things that you would not necessarily think of to make your stay stressless.They even provided an extra tank of propane for the gas grill and a host of brochures of local establishments and maps of Lake Lure. The hosts were so helpful when needed and respected our privacy.

Everything's there except you

The Gummy Bear cabin was perfectly situated with convenient access to a private beach, and picturesque view of the surrounding mountains. The wrap around porch invited us each evening to sip cocktails, relax, and look and listen to the local wildlife. One night a full moon lit up the mountain side. The cabin itself was well appointed, and everything we needed was there. It comfortably fits six.

Great stay @ Lake Lure

We had a great stay at the Gummy Bear Cabin. It was a short walk down to the kayak drop area, and the large green park area down the stairs from the property were a hit for our young son who wanted to kick his ball around and hit some whiffle balls. The house is well appointed and we were not lacking for anything. Grocery store (Ingles) is about 20 min way (as are most amenities, restaurants, etc.) and navigating the Lake Lure beach was simple and straightforward. We enjoyed our stay!

Cabin with a view

The cabin was exactly as described. Everything inside was quite new and worked perfectly. The beds are very comfortable as is the furniture. The deck provides a great view of the cliffs on the north side of Hickory Nut Gorge. We didn't get to use the kayaks, but the Village beach area looks great. In spite of some rain we very much enjoyed our stay.

Pretty mountain town

The house was very nice and in a beautiful setting. The owners were great about reaching out to check in and see if we needed any help. The kitchen was stocked with lots of nice touches like spices, coffee, and tea. Our big that was disappointment was that the lake had been drained and was not filled up. We did not realize that was happening so it was our fault, but was a real bummer.

Great house with everything necessary.

The owners were very nice and accommodating. We lost power once due to a downed tree and she notified me before I even knew it happened. We had a great time with our adult kids and their spouses while there to attend a wedding. I highly recommend this house.

Excellent experience

This house was perfect for us. We've stayed in the Lake Lure area numerous times but this home has the best view of the beautiful high peaks right from the huge glass windows of the great room. The home is beautiful, well furnished, comfortable and clean and the owners are so easy to work with. We will make renting this home a priority the next time we stay in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Appleby

We purchased this property in 2016 and love every minute we spend at our cabin. The cabin was in original condition from the 1980 when we purchased it. After 2 years of remodeling, we decided to share our paradise with visitors. Although we spend a lot of time at our cabin we don't mind sharing it with others when we are not here. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
