About this property

Thistle Ridge - Lake Adger Lakefront, Big Views!

No Pets, No Exceptions.

LAKEFRONT | HOT TUB | INTERNET | ROMANTIC | FIREPLACE | PRIVATE VIEWS

Thistle Ridge is a stunning mountain lake home on Lake Adger that offers the splendor reserved for magazine pictorials! Offering four bedrooms, three full baths, and one-half bath, sleeps up to 8 comfortably and is awaiting your and your family's arrival (sorry, no four-legged family members). This home showcases some of the finest views and perfect sunset viewings from 2 large lake-facing covered porches.

Open concept living with beautiful stone fireplace and hardwood flooring on the main level with Large Master Suite with king bed. The lower level has super nice stained concrete flooring and three more bedrooms, one with a king bed and private bath, another with a king bed, and one with full and two twin-size beds. This level also has a gathering area with a large stone fireplace and a large Hot Tub on the back patio. There is also a really cool swing and hammock on the back patio to relax and enjoy the views!

Super comfortable throughout to kick back and enjoy your time at Lake Adger. This amazing home is 11.7 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, 11 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, and 7.5 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC).

If you are feeling energetic and looking for a fun activity, this home offers two kayaks and a flat-bottom boat for your use near the water, which has a deep water boat dock. There is a new 4-seat pedal boat with a sun canopy, too! It takes a bit of energy getting back up to the house as it's 124 steps, but great exercise and has lots of pretty views to stop, catch your breath, and enjoy along the way. We've heard the fishing is pretty great at Lake Adger!

Get your family and friends cooking in the gourmet kitchen, or go out on the large patio and grill under the stars. Relax on the deck, enjoy nature's sounds, and take in the incredible views. This home is well equipped if traveling with little ones; there is a Pack N Play, basinet, safety gate at stairs, high chair, booster seat, and portable play yard.

Conveniently Located
In addition to all that Lake Adger offers, Thistle Ridge is about 11 miles from Lake Lure Beach, Chimney Rock State Park, and the village. National Geographic Magazine ranked Lake Lure as one of the top scenic lakes in the world. There are water sport rental options (kayaks, wakeboards, boats, etc.) and pontoon tours of the lake.

The iconic Chimney Rock, for which the village and State Park were named, was featured in Arthur Frommer`s Sept/Oct 2012 issue of Budget Travel magazine. The park received the platinum award for Favorite State Park in Blue Ridge Country’s 2013 Best of the Mountains travel poll, with voting every five years and covering seven southern states in the Appalachian Mountains. Several excellent golf courses are nearby, including Apple Valley Golf Course, Bald Mountain Golf Course, and Etowah Valley Country Club and Golf Resort, which Golf Digest rated as one of the top 50 golf destinations in the US.

This home is located just 30 minutes from Bat Cave, 40 minutes from Hendersonville, 55 minutes from Asheville, and about 1.5 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina. Also nearby are Pisgah National Forest (less than 1 hour from Lake Lure), which has over 500,000 acres of protected forest, and DuPont State Recreational Forest (1.25 hours from Lake Lure) with over 10,000 acres. These forests feature hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, horse trails, exquisite waterfalls, and beautiful mountaintop views. If you and/or your children are fans of The Hunger Games book and movie, a scene with Katniss and Gale was shot at the Pisgah National Forest. A few small but significant scenes were also filmed at the DuPont State Recreational Forest.

The Lake Lure/Chimney Rock/Mill Spring area is conveniently situated for outdoor adventure, including horseback riding, tubing, water sports, hiking, museums, and theater, the Biltmore Estate and Village, shopping and restaurants, and so much more.

Perfect Getaway for Every Season
Thistle Ridge is perfect for every season! Enjoy the beautiful snowy weather in the winter, where a cozy mountain home feels just right. Stay warm by the fireplace or relax in the jetted tub in the master bath. Visit in the summer when the weather is perfect all the time, and you can enjoy the soothing summer breezes and beautiful sunsets from the scenic porch overlook. No matter the season, this mountain home and the beautiful area will provide you with a weekend getaway or vacation that you and your loved ones will never forget!

Be Our Guest
Just pack some clothes, pick up some groceries (shopping nearby), and then enjoy all Thistle Ridge offers. If you visit once, we are confident that you will return for the beauty, fun, comfort, and hospitality. We look forward to you being our guest.

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2024, through the first quarter of 2024(March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect LAKE ADGER or the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

The place was stunning and cozy. Clean and well stocked. The host was gracious and responsive. Only suggestions are screens on the doors and windows so that fresh air can get in without bugs.

Cozy Mountain Cabin!
We stayed at this cabin over the Thanksgiving weekend and it was perfect for us! Spacious, clean, well-stocked, plus gorgeous mountain views! The check-in and check-out instructions were simple and clear. The neighborhood is secluded and private but also close to town for easy access to shopping and food. The drive into the neighborhood is steep and winding, so make sure you have a car that can handle mountain roads. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again!

Beautiful Home!
We had a wonderful weekend at Thistle Ridge! The property manager was immediately responsive when we had a few questions. Beds are comfortable; bathrooms were clean; and having two living spaces really helped. The hot tub was a hit! We tried our hand at fishing on the dock but didn't have any success. It was fun trying though! Great property overall!!

Great place.
We were in town for a wedding, and the house was everything it was advertised to be. The views were great, and the house was spotless when we arrived. Great place to stay with my family!

Excellent property
Good location only a few minutes from tubing and other water adventures and a few minutes to Lake Lure. Very difficult stair climb from the water. Has all the amenities though. Property is fairly new, area is very quiet. Whoever came by at checkout was an amazing person, very friendly, helped us make sure we grabbed a bag we forgot!
