Papa Bobs Lakefront Cabin Sunset Views! Caiaques, Canoa, Barco a Remo Pontão Opt'l

If it's a water experience that you are looking for, this is it! The perfect vacation spot for the family. So much to do and never leave the property. There is something for everyone - there is a shallow area for the little ones to play and deep water for swimming and floating. We have 2 sea otter kayaks, a canoe, and pontoon paddleboat for you to explore the lake. There is a field that is great for frisbee, whiffle ball, glowstick freeze tag or lying on a blanket and gazing at the stars.

The cabin is at the head of the cove. There is a 100 foot dock crossing the lake. There is an bonfire area with benches and of course, fishing. The clarity of Lake Lure has earned it a high rating for bass fishing. Ask us about places to walk and hike. Depending on the season, wildlife usually out the window. Deer can be seen out grazing in the field almost all year around. In the fall, turkey also find the field good for grazing. Some guests have had glances of the bear or the bobcat. For bird watchers, we have kingfishers and a pair of bald eagles that call the lake home. As you kayak, you will see great blue herons and turtles along the shoreline.
Nestled among the native rhododendrons and dogwoods of the Appalachian Mountains sets this unique little cabin. Built in the early 1970’s, it is one of the older quaint lakefront homes on Lake Lure. It is truly an exceptional find in that it is set on a 9-acres at the head of Sunset Cove. Also, it is built partially out over the water, which allows a unique waterfront experience.

Let us take you back to the earlier, unhurried days of Lake Lure and Hickory Nut Gorge area. Leave the busy life behind and return to the days of real relaxation and rest. You can lounge on the deck in the warm summer sun reading a good book, fish from the dock as the water licks at your feet swim in the cool refreshing water, go kayaking down the cove, or just sit and watch the sun sparkle and move across the water and then sink behind the mountains. Come to unplug your family and play board games, star gaze or kayak together. (Unplugging is by choice as we do have cable and internet.)

In its own right, our cabin and dock/bridge are famous - if you're a movie buff. In 1983, several scenes from the movie, Firestarter, were filmed on the property. The most memorable being when Charlie and her dad were captured by 'the Shop' while crossing our very own dock. The film featured an all-star cast with Drew Berrymore, Martin Sheen, & George C. Scott.

The dock/bridge mentioned above extends all the way across the end of the cove(approx. 100 feet)and is truly unique. The entire bridge is ideal for the fishing enthusiast. For your enjoyment, we have 2 Sea Otter kayaks are on hand as well as a canoe, and 12 ft pontoon paddle boat - all ready to explore Sunset Cove and Lake Lure. Life jackets are on hand as well.

We invite you to come and enjoy your own private get-a-way at Papa Bob’s Cabin. It is a one-room cabin with a large private bathroom/changing area. There is a queen bed and a queen size sleeper sofa. There is a loft with two twin beds. Appliances include a full size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, and coffee maker. There is central heat and air and a propane grill. So, bring a good book, your swimsuit, your fishing pole and come relax.
