Property details

*** Summer 2025 - Lake Lure Update *** Per the website www.townoflakelure.com: Lake Use in 2025- Town Council and Town leadership are keenly aware of the importance of reopening the Lake as soon as it is safe to do so. Given the timing of the work that has been completed thus far and the need for ongoing work moving forward, it is extremely unlikely that the Lake will be able to open for the 2025 summer season. (This includes motorized and non-motorized vessels and swimming.) For those of you who have been following our storm recovery process closely, this news may not be a surprise to you. I thought it was important to share this news with you directly. Please note that Town Council and Town leadership will continue to evaluate options for opening the Lake or portions of the Lake and we will continue to keep you informed with any updates as new information becomes available. PET FRIENDLY - QUIET AND PRIVATE LOCATION - WOODED SETTING. Welcome to your Mountain Get-Away, nestled in the Foothills just east of Lake Lure toward the west end of Rutherfordton, NC. Just 1.5 miles to US Hwy 64/74A (the main road running east/west between Lake Lure and Rutherfordton). The woods surrounding the home give it a relaxing feel. Inside, the cottage/cabin feel is enhanced by vaulted wood ceilings. A small loft/sitting area overlooks the living room and is outside of the two upper-level bedrooms. There are three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, and a fully functional kitchen. The Fireplace has floor-to-ceiling stonework & gas logs. The back deck has an electric Sun Setter cover with a remote; awaiting your enjoyment of the wooded backdrop and natural surroundings. Enjoy birdwatching & wildlife passing through every day.

June 2025

We loved staying here. We wanted a peaceful place where we could connect as a family and create memories. Without the distractions of traffic, a tv, or other things that usually take precedence in daily life, we were able to do that. We would certainly stay here again.
