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 :)

The Perfect Getaway
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Miller's lovely home on beautiful Lake Lure. With a pontoon boat, kayaks, canoe,and paddleboard available to us. we were able to stay busy when we wanted to be or we could just relax on the boathouse deck and enjoy the gorgeous view. The host (Katie!) was incredibly gracious and communicative and the house provided us with all of our needs. A return trip will be in our future! L Cully

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!

Voves Family Trip
The property is absolutely gorgeous! The puctures in the lusting dont due justice to the real deal. We were disappointed in the location of the playground. A real challenge for small children to navigate the rough terrain trail. Quite a trip to the lake as well. But wirth the effort. Unfortunately our weather was something to be desired. Rain 90% of the time. I did not enjoy the switchback road to everywhere we ventured. But yhsts just me. All in all, a wonderful experience. Katie, our host, was great to work with. The only complaint i got from our kids was that they found the property camera's ti be invasive considering our family is more than respectful to any house rules.

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.

If we could give this property more than 5 stars we would! The home is in perfect condition and very well stocked. Comfortable beds, sheets and towels. The boat house is a little bit of a walk (as others have mentioned) but we were well aware and made the most of it. Would DEFINITELY stay here again. You won't find a better view on Lake Lure!

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!

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.
