Lake Lure Rental: Romantic Lakeside Getaway Cottage

We loved our stay! We had visited Lake Lure many times and stayed in a hotel. We chose to rent a cabin this time, because we were traveling with a 4 month old, 40 lb labradoodle, and we felt like we needed to ensure that we did not disturb any nearby vacationers.

The cabin had everything we needed. There were, in fact, a few cooking items in the kitchen that I would have liked to take home with me. And everything was spotlessly clean. The dock was amazing and we all enjoyed sitting out there each evening watching the sun set. We also spent a lot of time on the water in both the provided kayak and canoe. It was amazing to see the gazebo at the park from the water

We were also pleased that most of the area restaurants were dog friendly and were happy to have our baby on their patios. The Bistro, one of our favorite restaurants in Lake Lure, even had a menu for our puppy. The coffee shop next to the flower bridge has the best carrot cake ever. Larkins has not to be missed shrimp and fish platters on their waterfront patio.

The pictures do not do this cabin justice. We found everything to be actually better than represented.

This is the third time staying at Five Oaks for me and won't be the last. David and Penny are wonderful people and a joy to talk with. Everything about the cottage and the lake is perfect for a relaxing vacation. It's hard to find such a lovely setting/home for one couple with a dog. We loved spending the day floating on our rafts near the boat house. Pure relaxation. Everything you could need is in the cottage. There's many things to do in the area or do nothing at all, but sit and take in the beauty of Lake Lure and the mountain views. I usually do a lot of running around, but this time, we spent a lot of time enjoying the water (floating, fishing, kayaking) and being lazy. Just what we needed. We would like to, once again, thank David , Penny and Daisy for opening their home to quests, so we can enjoy a piece of their beautiful home and life.

Thank you,

Christina, Scott and Wyatt

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!

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

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.
