About this property
Owl's Nest Cabin. Romantic Cabin on beautiful Lake Lure!
Romantic cabin on a mountain lake. We are near Chimney Rock, Asheville and The Biltmore House. Hurricane Helene Update: Our cabins are in good shape. Our lakefront and first pond have been damaged and are being repaired. The construction at our lakefront to remove sediment from the lake from Hurricane Helene has finished and the lake is deeper than it has been in many years! We are very grateful for the work the Corps of Engineers and their subcontractors have done. The lake is now full pond! We are only 1/4 mile from the site where the movie Dirty Dancing was filmed. We are only 18 miles from the new Tryon International Equestrian Resort. Our cozy one bedroom log cabin is built for couples and has a hot tub. We are located in the Town of Lake Lure and only one mile south of the charming mountain Village of Chimney Rock, NC. For no extra cost we have canoes, horse shoes, private fishing ponds, and a dock on beautiful Lake Lure. All set in a natural landscape with diverse flora and fauna. Plus, only a short distance away you will find the Lake Lure Beach and Marina, Historic Lake Lure Inn, Restaurants, Chimney Rock State Park, Lake Lure Tour Boats, horseback riding, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, tennis courts, Chimney Rock Village and fly fishing on the Rocky Broad River! Also in Lake Lure you will find two championship golf courses and a municipal nine-hole golf course.

Nice place to stay. As a cabin, it isn’t a fancy house or hotel, but is a very nice unit. Well furnished, fridge, stove, microwave, heat/a-c, screened deck with hot tub and gas grill. Enjoyed our stay
Spent a good amount of time sipping wine, listening to the bullfrogs, and sitting in the rockers. Extremely enjoyable. Csbin is perfect for a romantic getaway
The cabin was wonderful, very quiet area. The only thing I didn't like was the road on the property.
The whole are is beautiful, with plenty to see and do, even off season. I would definitely go back there!
The cabin was stocked as stated. I was disappointed with the lack of view of the lake compared to the picture. Aware of the extreme heat outside but the cool air just can’t seem to make it to the bedroom. The ac split system was in the den (opposite end of the cabin).
The floors were not clean as there was even dog food on the floor beside the couch.
The pots and pans and cookie sheet definitely had not be cleaned in awhile.
It is very quiet and loved that!!! We will definitely give it another try.

Overall, our stay was pleasant and relaxing. The space itself was cozy and inviting—small, but it felt homey and comfortable. We slept great; the area was wonderfully dark at night with no intrusive streetlights, which made for a peaceful rest. The hot tub was already heated when we arrived, which was a thoughtful touch and saved us the wait. It was also clean and free of bugs, which we appreciated.
There were a few areas that could use attention. The listing photos should be updated, as it appears the lake shown is no longer there—likely due to Hurricane Helene. That space is now an active construction area with workers and trucks. While we understand natural disasters are beyond anyone’s control, the lake view was one of the main reasons we booked.
Inside, the bedroom window didn’t close completely, making it a bit chilly at night. The space heater provided only worked intermittently before shutting off, and the fireplace was disabled, which was disappointing given the cooler weather. We also noticed a few small housekeeping details: there was very little coffee left with no cream or sugar, and a cluster of dead bugs under the DVD player. Outside, the propane grill lacked a tank, so we weren’t able to use it for dinner as planned.
Despite these minor inconveniences, we truly enjoyed our stay. The location is quiet and peaceful, and the overall experience was still positive. I personally loved the cool nights—though my wife might say otherwise after freezing a bit!
Enjoy the stay small but quaint wish the bed was a little more comfortable but had everything we needed internet was very slow and very poor cell service.
My sister and I stayed here to attend the Dirty Dancing Festival nearby. The cabin was perfect! So comfortable, had everything we needed and more. The screened in porch by the water was lovely. I can’t wait to come back with my husband and pups!
Wonderful visit! Everything was as advertised and touches like dog bowls, toys were available. The timer on gas logs was a great idea.
Very close to “downtown “ Lake Lure and restaurants and right on the water.
Will definitely come back!
This was our fifth trip to the Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area and we’ve stayed at Jim’s Pine Gables each time. It’s a very peaceful, historic area that we’ve come to really enjoy. The location near Chimney Rock Village and the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge makes it an ideal stop. Thanks again for another great stay.
We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary at this cute little cabin with our pup :) Great location and had everything we needed! Agree with other reviewers the bedroom walls are pretty dusty and the bed isn’t the most comfortable but we had a great time relaxing, canoeing and exploring and our pup enjoyed observing all the wildlife and swimming in the lake for the first time!

I did not know that there was not lake at all, no water in the lake at all. Instead there was machinery for the construction. equipment making so much noise in the mornings 7am of Saturday and Sunday till late afternoon. I do admire all this work they doing for the future benefit of the community and tourism, howevwer, We did not expected that.
The owls nest cabin in pine gables was perfect for what we needed. My husband and I went to lake lure to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The cabin was small but cozy and the hot tub on the deck was a lovely feature. It is close to chimney rock and lake lure. We will definitely be back!
Lovely cabin. I especially enjoyed sitting on the porch and having a meal and a cup of tea. Only problem for me: the climb down to the dock is very treacherous and the dock and ladder should be replaced for safety.
We wish we'd had longer to stay. We loved the peace and quiet. We loved the simple comforts of the cabin. We loved the bed, the rugs, the hot tub towels, and especially the porch! What a lovely view with comfortable seats and of course, the hot tub for two. We were plenty close to the town square of Lake Lure and to Chimney Rock. We had a wonderful weekend and will be back.
