Private Dog-Friendly Cabin in Lake Lure – Lakes & River Access

Mountain Lake Escape – Peaceful Cabin Retreat in Lake Lure

Nestled in a tranquil, wooded gated community in Lake Lure, Mountain Lake Escape is the perfect sanctuary for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Tucked away on a quiet lane, this cozy cabin feels worlds away, yet modern conveniences are just moments away, inviting you to relax within nature’s embrace.

Begin your mornings on the deck, wrapped in a blanket with coffee in hand and seasonal views of Mirror Lake. Evenings glowing with conversation and a glass of wine by the fire pit make this space a favorite gathering spot. Inside, comfortable memory-foam mattresses dressed in soft luxury linens promise restful nights.

The kitchen is fully appointed for meal prep and casual dinners, with everything from stainless steel appliances to all the necessary tools and cleaning supplies. A washer/dryer, iron, and ironing board make longer stays effortless. You’ll also find thick bath and beach towels, a generous shampoo-conditioner-body wash dispenser, and a welcome bottle of wine as our treat.

Family fun is baked in—play foosball in the upstairs loft, explore an on-site treasure hunt (available year-round for all ages), or enjoy board games and DVDs, including Dirty Dancing, filmed right here. Streaming Netflix is simple with our Roku TV and Starlink high-speed internet.

Adventure awaits right outside your door. Although not lakeside, the property grants access to two private lakes and the Broad River via nearby public parking—great for paddleboarding, tubing, or riverside lounging. We include two paddleboards, life jackets, and inner tubes for your enjoyment.

Explore beyond the cabin—you’re minutes from Chimney Rock State Park and its dramatic trails. Or zoom through the canopy at Canopy Ridge Farm’s zipline park. The area also offers mini-golf, scenic hikes, charming restaurants, wineries, and spa escapes. Asheville is just an hour away, and Hendersonville a quick 30-minute drive—ideal for day trips or indulging in arts, dining, and shopping.

When day gives way to night, return home to comfort and quiet among the trees. Mountain Lake Escape isn’t just a place to stay—it’s where adventure and relaxation meet, where memories are crafted under mountain skies.

The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had no idea how peaceful a vacation rental could be! When we pulled up to the house and got out of our truck, the first thing we noticed was how quiet it was....nothing but leaves rustling in the breeze and the scampering of the many different woodland creatures. Soaring ceilings, wide open spaces, and huge windows letting in the bright sunlight. Photos provided on websites do not show the amount of space here! Everything was in pristine condition (I'm one that usually cleans a rental before bringing my belongings in, didn't need to here!), and smelled fresh. The furniture and decor is welcoming and "cabin-y". Dog beds, blankets, bowls are all provided (although we took our own), and our pups felt right at home once we got all their stuff inside. The bathroom was well appointed, however a bit small overall. I spent my mornings sitting in one of the very comfortable egg chairs on the deck, having tea, just listening to nothing...perfection. The only problem we had (which is in NO way negative to the property) were the steps leading from the parking area to the house. We are both older and have mobility issues, so unloading/loading were difficult for us. We had a wonderful time, and absolutely recommend this property if you are in the Lake Lure area!! I only wish I could have bagged up the tranquility to bring home and spread over my own home. Thank you Karen and Dave for sharing your beautiful home!!

There aren’t enough stars to help me review our stay! The cabin was exactly as described in the property details. From the use of the keypad to enter the cabin to every detail of the setup of the cabin to the outside amenities, it was amazing! We loved sitting on the decks looking out at the beautiful scenery. Our two dogs, Gibbs and Kate, loved both the pen and the free-range front yard. We all loved just sitting and enjoying the God-provided serenity of your cabin. Your cabin is one of our favorites we have used over the past few years. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Dog friendly happy place!

We loved our stay….everything was easy from check in to check out and the house was super well stocked with all the essentials! The property is very well set up for dogs. Close proximity to all the good areas, and the Lake was very clean (although cold and rainy). Beautiful scenery and the Nature walk near the waterfall is a must. Karen was a great host!

Beautiful and serene. I didnt see another person the entire time. Just how i like it! Bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Everything one could need to whip up a gourmet meal was at my fingertips. Great hosts, quick responses, lovely home for those who consider their 4-legged traveling companions creature-comforts a tip priority.

Cozy cabin in the forest

First off, Karen is the most gracious and accommodating hostess. She was so responsive to my inquiries and checked up on us. The cabin was a little tricky to get to, but I blame that on us being from flat Texas and unused to hilly terrain. But we got the hang of it. The cabin was so quiet and relaxing. Everything we needed was already in the cabin. Very pet friendly. Our furries loved it. We did day excursions to hike and shop. Great area and great place. I would highly recommend.

Love staying in Riverbend

The cabin is very nice and the location is excellent. We have stayed in Riverbend before, but being on the side of the swimming lake was great!! We really appreciated the ability to use floats and chairs! Nice firepit in the front yard and the fenced in run with the gated porch is perfect for most dogs (our 9 pound mini could get out, but she is fine on a leash). I thought the listing said lake view, but we could not really see the lake from the porch. Maybe in the winter you would see more, but when the trees are full, there really is not a view. That is the only reason for 4 and not 5 stars.

Pup Friendly Beautiful Cabin in the Thick Wooded Mountains

After traveling for two days our 15 year old Amstaff was happy to be greeted with a basket full of dog toys! When you welcome our pup you welcome us! With a secure wrap around porch that leads to a secure fenced grassy area this was the most freedom our dog, Sir Hershel, has experienced! The cabin was clean and fully stocked with all the items needed for cooking and enjoying time in the mountains. Karen (the owner) was a great communicator checking to make sure all was well. She responded to all our inquiries within minutes. She was friendly and welcoming. The owners have gone the extra mile here to make sure it would be a great stay! The area is beautiful with lakes and waterfall hikes. We will be back! This cabin is located in a remote, private mountain community.

Blissful Getaway!

We ate breakfast every morning on the back deck with our dog, Magnus. Trails galore to walk him on. The ones with rushing water beside them were so calming. After our walks, the hanging chairs on the front porch were a dream to hang out in with a cool drink and my Nintendo Switch. For dinners with a big dog; we were able to eat at the Lake House Restaurant on the lower deck where the boat slips are, at the Highland we were able to walk him through and eat on the back deck, and behind the Tiki Hut Bar there were several picnic tables right by the rushing water (people were swimming and fishing). In the evenings we watched one or two of our shows on an app whilst pooped Magnus didn’t even budge. A tired dog is a good dog. :) We also made a fire one night and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Everything was well stocked. Door lock worked perfectly. Wifi worked perfectly. Carpenter Bee Note: I read online that a fake wasp nest would deter them, so I used empty plastic grocery bags and hung them up in the areas that we sat outside. It reduced the number of them a bit. We will definitely be back!! So much appreciation for welcoming a big dog!! Bless you Karen and Dave.

Thanksgiving 2024

What a great Thanksgiving at this property. The location and views were outstanding. The home was very well equipped and we were able to prepare a wonderful Thanksgiving meal for our family. I was bummed out we couldn’t use the fire pit out side due to a burn ban, but the gas logs in the living room was nice to have. The big toaster oven was a nice touch, it worked nice to cook up some snacks instead of using the oven. Having the fenced in area for dogs was nice to have, and also having the amenities for the dogs was a nice to have as well. Less for us to pack. This was our 3rd trip to Lake Lure, we really enjoy spending time here.

Good Get Away

Overall the property was just as described with no major issues. My only concerns were: 1. Dog poop was found in the loft area under the bed when arrived. It was not our dog's either. 2. No firewood was provided. There was some in the pit we were able to use but not what as stated in the ad. I would not hesitate to come back to this place and view these issues as minor. It was a great time and relaxing.

Family Getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at the cabin! It was the perfect place to unwind as a family. We paddle-boarded, swam/lounged on the beach, explored the trails, and hiked Chimney Rock. The house was clean and well-maintained, and the owners were very responsive and organized. Lake Lure and the small surrounding towns are hidden gems. Thank you, Karen, for letting us stay at your place!
