Property details

No Pets, No Exceptions INTERNET ~ GAS LOG FIREPLACE ~ LARGE PORCH ~ LAKE ACCESS CLOSE BY ​​#NeedToBreathe cabin​ sits on a hilltop among an array of tall trees in a gated community located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and just minutes from ​Chimney ​Rock State Park. A mix of retro, modern, and Scandinavian,​​ the living room is quite spacious and a nice place for social gatherings. ​There is ​comfortable space in the kitchen and dining area as well. You will enjoy the large fireplace in the living room and the wooded yet pleasant view offered by the kitchen/dining area and living room. A highlight of the home is that it boasts four tastefully decorated themed bedrooms, and there is a bathroom between bedrooms one and two and bedrooms three and four, so the layout is great. The back deck is extremely comfortable and nearly perfect. A nature lovers paradise, you're likely to see deer, foxes, and sometimes even bears! You can hear the waterfall inside the resort clearly, and there is also a small yet enjoyable lake view in the fall/winter. Even in the fall/winter, the decks here are quiet and private, so you will definitely notice the privacy​​in the summer. Clever words of wisdom are placed tastefully throughout the home. All hard surface flooring will give you that super clean feel no matter how long you stay. Overall, the extremely tastefully decorated #NeedToBreathe is sure to be a favorite for your annual vacation to Lake Lure. It's an older home that has been well-maintained and creatively updated. As a unique camp-house experience, the washer and dryer are located in the lower level garage and accessible through a separate door from the exterior of the home. The propane grill is on the back porch, where there are two chairs, a table for hors d'oeuvres​ ​or drinks, and a relatively flat and private backyard. There is easy parking for three vehicles, but depending on your vehicle size, 4 would likely fit. Located in the quiet yet fun community, Lake Lure Village Resort​ offers a private marina at only a 5-10 minute walk from #NeedToBreathe. This home is 3.3 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 3.4 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, and 21.7 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC). No pets, no exceptions Smoking is prohibited in all of our vacation rental homes. Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. local time (or later). Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. local time (or earlier).

Definitely will stay here again! Beautiful area very quiet and cozy. The house was very spacious and it accommodated 4 of us perfectly. It was clean and there was plenty of amenities to make us feel at home. Beautiful house in the mountains surrounded by beautiful scenery and a beautiful lake. Definitely worth considering if you are wanting to visit Asheville!

Lovely stay! Everything about our stay was great: the place was clean, well-equipped, and perfectly located. We really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the decor. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the fireplace to work, which would have been a nice touch given the weather. Despite that, it was an excellent experience, and I would definitely recommend this accommodation to other travelers.
