Overview
Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)
Five Oaks is a cozy one-bedroom lakeside guest cottage situated on beautiful Lake Lure. It is the perfect spot for a romantic relaxing getaway vacation for two, or for a couple with one or two small children. Lake Lure is nestled in the narrow groove of Hickory Nut Gorge just 25 miles southeast of Asheville, NC. It was named by National Geographic as one of the ten most beautiful man-made lakes in the world. Several movies, including Dirty Dancing have been filmed at Lake Lure. There is a never-ending variety of outdoor activities to be enjoyed in and around the lake, including swimming, fishing, diving, kayaking, canoeing, and hiking.
Five Oaks Cottage was built in 2005 and is tastefully decorated and equipped with a full kitchen and bath with shower. We supply linens, towels, and hygiene products for our guests and an information booklet listing local activities and attractions to help make each guest's stay both memorable and enjoyable. Guests have full access to the dock and boathouse rooftop deck for swimming, fishing, lounging, and enjoying the spectacular views of the lake, the gorge, and Chimney Rock Park. We also provide use of a canoe and a kayak so you can tour the lake and visit sites of interest such as the cove where portions of Dirty Dancing were filmed. There are also some very nice restaurants that can be reached by water.
The cottage is situated behind the main house and has lake views from most windows and from the attached deck. The boathouse and dock are about 150 feet in front of the cottage. About 15 stone steps lead down to the ground level of the main house. A stone pathway then leads you around the house. Another 15 steps will take you to the rooftop deck atop the boathouse, and another 15 steps will take you down to the dock at water level. Having to negotiate steps down to the water is the norm at Lake Lure because it is a mountain lake and the shoreline is steep. There are very few lodgings on Lake Lure that do not require the traversing of many steps to reach water level. Five Oaks Cottage actually has fewer steps to the water than many. Still, it may not be suitable for older folks or those with disabilities.
The cottage is equipped with wireless internet, a TV with satellite reception, a DVD player, a CD player with auxiliary input for your phone or mp3 player, and a large collection of CDs and DVDs. Five Oaks is the cottage where the author/owner conceived and wrote the popular series of children's books called The Lake Lure Chronicles (Google 'Lake Lure Chronicles' to view). We believe you will thoroughly enjoy your stay at Five Oaks and will create many lasting memories of this most beautiful and peaceful place.

About David Klett
We fell in love with Lake Lure the first time we saw it in 1984, and returned three weeks later and purchased a small cottage on the lake for weekend and summer vacation use. In preparation for retirement at the lake in 2006, we added a major second story addition to the original small cabin and built Five Oaks Cottage, a guest-house for additional space for family and friends and for a vacation rental when we are not using it. We are delighted to be able to share this beautiful and special place with others and we enjoy meeting the many wonderful folks who find us through VRBO and become our guests at Five Oaks.
Why David Klett chose Blue Ridge Mountains
The natural beauty of this area is unsurpassed.
What makes this cottage unique
Swimming, fishing, canoeing, hiking, and just plain relaxing on the boat house deck and dock area.

Great place to unwind...A perfect couples getaway
My wife & I found this cottage and decided to take a long weekend to relax and celebrate her birthday. While we had been to the area many times over the years, we were delighted with the location and amenities available. The view from the boat dock is beautiful, and the cottage well appointed. We enjoyed long walks around the neighborhood with our puppy, grilling steaks on the deck, and taking in some of the local sites. We were greeted by David after we unpacked and strolled down to the dock, and he made us all feel welcome ( even the puppy ) We would highly recommend this spot to a couple or small family. We are already looking forward to coming again!
Wonderful place to stay on Lake Lure
The cottage is comfortable and well appointed. David and Penny are great hosts, available yet unobtrusive. As the first guests of the season we felt a certain responsibility to make sure to leave things as we found them for future guests. The view from the cottage and the boathouse deck is beautiful. A wonderful place to stay, we would gladly recommend this cottage to any small family. The best part to me was how readily they accepted our dog. Penny even got Piper a dish for water since we weren't sure where her dishes were when we first got there. They are very warm and caring people, and we would not hesitate booking this cottage again should the opportunity arise. Reni and Jim McLemore
Adorable Cottage in perfect Lake Lure location
Five Oaks is an adorable Lake Lure cottage convenient to everything. Owners, David and Penny, were so pleasant and made us feel at home. Though small, the cottage was the perfect size for our family, including six year old daughter and boykin spaniel. It had everything we needed relative to kitchen items and a grill on the deck. Views from the boat house and upper deck were amazing. We enjoyed a weekend filled with canoeing around the lake and jumping off the dock. Don't think twice about booking this wonderful cottage. We will most certainly be back.
Cozy Cottage
My husband and I have stayed in quite a few cottages. Five Oaks is by far the cleanest, coziest and most relaxing of any. David and Penny (owners) have provided every amenity you could ask for. The kitchen is a cooks delight. The bed was very comfortable. Perfect size for a couple. One of the best perks was the use of a canoe. My arms are still sore from all the canoeing we did. Chimney Rock is a few miles away. Don't miss. Also see the Flowering Bridge in Lake Lure. I can't recommend any restaurants because we cooked all our meals at the cottage. We did go to the historic district of Hendersonville for ice cream at Kilwins and bought bread at Underground Bakery.. Yummy. We highly recommend this wonderful little cottage. You won't be disappointed.
Spectacular place to stay!
The most perfect romantic getaway. The cottage was very nice. We enjoyed our stay.
The best little place on the lake
If you want to stay in a comfortable cottage and be on a beautiful lake, Five Oaks is the place for you. The cottage has absolutely everything that you could possibly need and want. Very clean and neat. We loved it. So much to do and there is plenty of information on the surrounding areas. The use of the boathouse, canoe, and floats really added to the enjoyment of the lake. David and Penny are very gracious hosts, probably the best we have ever experienced. It is so nice to be able to take your dog so we had Vincent with us who liked going for canoe rides. Thanks again for giving us a memorable vacation.
