The Cedar house has 4,300 square feet of luxurious living space, including a sprawling loft, three private bedrooms, one bunk room, three full baths, and two half baths. The home sits high on the hill with two stories of decks, offering breathtaking panoramic sunset views over the lake and Blue Ridge mountains. If you are looking for an instagram-worthy spot, you have found it :) With nearly three acres of land, the home offers a unique combination of privacy and direct lake access.

Featuring a wide open floor plan, the fully equipped gourmet kitchen opens on to a grand two story great room. Three comfy couches, large television, and whole house speaker system adorn the great room. With double ovens, a commercial grade gas cooktop, and two dishwashers, prepping meals is easy and enjoyable. A large central island offers ample prep space and casual seating for seven. The adjoining dining room comfortably seats eight.

The sun-filled screened porch is adjacent to the kitchen. Two large windows open from the kitchen on to the bar. A spacious sleeper sectional, television, and game table round out the space. The game table easily transforms from a standard dining top to a poker or bumper pool table. A dedicated heating/cooling unit keeps the sunroom comfortable all year long.

From the great room, a spiral staircase ascends into the loft bedroom. The open loft captures the astounding views and has a private balcony overlooking Bald Mountain. A king bed, queen sleeper sofa, and daybed with trundle comfortably accommodates sleeping for six. A full bathroom with generous walk in shower and a separate half bath complete the space.

The lower level houses three private bedrooms, a bunk room, and two full bathrooms. Bedroom 1 has two queen beds. Bedroom 2 has one king bed. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. Bedroom 4 (bunk room) has four twin beds. Two shared bathrooms are located off the central hallway. One bathroom contains a large whirlpool tub, shower, and separate toilet room. The second bathroom has a large walk in shower. Both bathrooms have large double vanities.

Out the front door of the home, a stunning waterfall and pond welcome guests. A large blue stone patio wraps around a wood burning fire pit with built in seating benches. From the fire pit, access the private wooded path to the boat house and dock. A short walk through the woods will lead you to the playground and a staircase descending to the boathouse. Alternatively, guests may choose to drive down to the boat house. Ample parking is offered.

Sitting ninety steps off the parking area, the boathouse deck offers lots of seating and lounging space. A covered pavilion with custom bar, refrigerator, ice chest, speaker system, and trash cans. Two single kayaks, one double kayak, a paddle board, and a canoe are provided. Tons of rafts including a giant 6' by 15' "island" are ready for the kids and the kids at heart. The dock is located in a quiet, no-wake cove and is ideal for everyone to safely swim and play.

Our 22' Pontoon boat is now available for our guests to rent! Separate rental agreement and rates apply. Please ask host for more details.

COMING SOON - Large playground is expected to be complete in 2024. Play area is located off the walking trail to the boathouse. It includes an elevated playhouse, two slides, swings, climbing ropes, monkey bars, and climbing rocks. Play surface is designed for safe free play with rubber tiles and comfy adirondack chairs for parents to sit back and enjoy the view :)

Top Notch Family Getaway

Breathtaking views, very accommodating and comfortable. Everything stated on the website was exactly what it was and then some. A lot of thought and detail was given to all guests needs-from kitchen utensils to baby gates. There were ample linens and towels. We truly had an amazing time and made great memories! Our only regret was not booking a longer stay!

Wonderful Time

We had a wonderful time at Cedar House on Lake Lure. The house is beautiful, clean and was large enough for the 11 of us. The 5 grandchildren loved the bunk room so they could all stay together. Katie, the owner was great and responded quickly with any questions we had. I would totally recommend this place and we hope to go back next year.

Amazing location beautiful place.

Owner was very responsive. House was perfectly furnished. We could not stop looking at the views from most every room. Active Cameras inside the living room, and kitchen was a little more disconcerting than I thought. We shared our concern ahead of the booking. It’s a family retreat and this was to insure property was safe. Would stay there again.

Family Vacation

Before our trip to Lake Lure and the Cedar House, I would classify our family as “Beach Goers” Now, I would say that we are “Lake Goers”. Everything was great! We were worried about not having enough to do with the young kids but, the boat house cove provided entertainment for both young and old! The Cedar House home was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The back porch views were breathtaking. Morning coffee and afternoon/evening sunsets were more than relaxing. We will have lasting memories of our family “Lake” vacation!

Dream Lake Destination for comfort and relaxation!

A perfect get away spot and home. The home is beautiful and has everything you need for your stay plus a few extras. There was certainly great thought in providing the littt things that make you feel like you are at your home away from home. It is a perfect blend of having time to just sit around and be with family all while having plenty of activities to do. The communication with the host Katie was amazing. A prompt response was always given with excellent insight and her destination recommendations were spot on. Cannot recommend this home highly enough. Everyone loved it.

Just the best

The Lake Lure Cedar House is an exceptional place. A majestic view ... beautifully maintained ... responsively managed ... built for rest and fun in every way. We highly recommend this home and property to even the most discerning vacationer. We are a multi-generational family, from 3 to 83, that all loved the experience. Three levels of gorgeous mountain and lake views with a boathouse amenity and location that is just so well placed, designed and fun. All of us floated for hours, jumped from the rooftop (really), and paddled for days, with our favorite tunes klipsch’d to our ears! Katie is your contact and sets the vacation rental high bar for friendliness, care, and attentiveness to your needs. We all left hoping to return again to a place that is just better than the rest.

Awesome is an understatement

Words cannot do justice to this place. The views from the deck are outstanding. The house is big and there were 15 of us and did not feel like we were cramped in. Very spacious. Wonderful kitchen as well. Katie was a great host and a very patient one too. One great thing about this place (some however might feel not so great), is that there are only two televisions in the house. That kind of helps to make case some to go outdoors, and given the location you want to be either on the trails or on the lake. The boat house and the kayaks were a huge bonus, and all guests including the kids had a great time. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you!!

Lake Lure Vacation

The view of the lake was spectacular, especially at sunset! There was plenty of porch space and seating. The house was very clean and well organized. There was plenty of seating, kitchenware, cooking and cleaning supplies, laundry facilities, etc. Problems: 1. Upstairs bedroom was too open to noise from below. 2. Boathouse was too far away from main house. Access to it was difficult for elderly or handicapped people. 3. No en suite bathrooms downstairs. 4. Several folks had very annoying chigger bites. All in all, it was a fine vacation house. Thanks.

Best House for a Big Family Rendezvous!

Our family of 13 -15 adults, teens, kids and babies vacation together every year. It takes a big house, lots of beds, a huge kitchen and plenty of space for gathering to make it work. Cedar House at Lake Lure was our perfect place. We had a lot of questions, and host Katie Miller replied promptly and thoroughly to each one. We were arriving in several cars and there was room for all of them. We needed two ovens, two dishwashers, two washers and dryers.....no problem at Cedar house. We needed several areas for gathering up and found four good places the first day....the decks, the living room with a big coffee table for games, the sunporch with more big sofas, a kid table for meals which doubled as a bumper pool / poker table, and the long table in the dining area, where the cooks could visit with family while making meals. The entryway to the front door became the art and game area for the little ones, out of the way but close to the action. We slept a family of four in the loft and they were not bothered by noise. We slept all teenage boys in the bunk room....what a gift that was. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful, well stocked and there was plenty of water pressure. A storm knocked out power to the house one night just as we put a big soufflé in the oven. Within seconds, the whole-house generator switched itself on and worked all night until power was restored. We didn't miss a minute of fun. The lake? Perfect, clean, lots of toys. Best house ever!
