Things to know:

We have one camera placed inside of the boathouse.

Our personal boat is not available for use- it does not have a commercial permit. Lake Lure is a private lake. If you want to bring your own boat you will have to contact the Town of Lake Lure for a permit of use for your time at the lake. Permits are $60/daily and exclude any use for weekends or holidays. Your boat must meet size and motor restrictions/requirements. Otherwise, we have partnered with Lake Lure Boat Rental for a 5% discount off your boat if you mention you are staying with us! They drop off and pick up from our dock. Book at www.lakelureboatrental.com

Every winter the lake is drawn down 10 feet for shoreline repairs.

There are several steps down to get to the property and then more steps to get down to the lake. There are railings everywhere but just something to note when taking luggage down from car.

Trash pickup is Monday mornings. Please make sure trash receptacle is secure every time you open it so to keep bears out.

When using rafts, kayaks, or paddle boards please stay in No Wake Zones to avoid boating traffic. The whole cove is a no wake area so it is safe to be in the cove.

There should be plenty of firewood scattered around outside. If you run out of firewood, Ingles is the closest store to grab a bundle.
