It's a MUST stay!!
Had the BEST week staying in this beautiful home!! It was so cozy, clean and so organized! The best part about this house is the screened in porch. Spent almost every waking moment there. The furniture is so comfortable too! Would definitely stay here again. The house is sooo close to Lake Lure beach and to Chimney Rock. Such a beautiful area. Thank you to the hosts for offering this beautiful home for us to rent...we will be back.
Such a cute cabin! Had everything we needed and more. So many extras that went above and beyond. Owner sent lots of communication. No issues and would love to stay again.

A hidden gem
We had an amazing time, a beautiful area. This cute house had everything. The hosts thought of everything. The screened in porch was our favorite spot for coffee in the mornings and sipping on wine in the evenings while our kids felt right at home with the variety of games. Forget all your worries at home and look no further . Thank you Janelle and family. Perfect weekend!!

Perfect!
My wife and I wanted to get away and we decided on Lake Lure for our Memorial Day weekend and Biltmore tour. Upon arrival to the property we found it to be even better than the description. Not only was the property very clean but it had everything that we would have needed. The check-in process was very easy and the checkout process even easier. We already said we are definitely staying there again as it would be a good central location for other places like Asheville, Greenville, SC and Little Switzerland.

Lake Lure delight
The owners have made their cottage very inviting and welcoming. There are many detailed touches.
The screened porch is perfect for morning tea or coffee and an early evening glass of wine.

Loved this awesome cottage!
Great location, close to everything that we wanted to do in Lake Lure, but felt so private, tucked up in the woods. Comfortable beds, stocked kitchen, loved that one bedroom was upstairs and one was downstairs, which, for 2 couples, is perfect. Just down the road is Ingles, a great grocery store. The screened in porch was a favorite. The host was easy to contact. We would 100% stay here again!

Would love to go back!
We had an incredible time at Casa di Cresta! Not only was the cottage within great distance of all we wanted to see (about 1hr from Asheville, 10mins from Chimney Rock, less than 5mins from Lake Lure Beach Resort), it was remarkably clean and comfortable for a family of 4!

Beautiful cottage!
This place was beautiful, clean, and had everything one would need to feel at home. It was so close to everything in Lake Lure and Chimney Rock but it felt secluded at the same time which we loved. The check in/out process was super easy and communication with the host was easy and quick as well. We will definitely try to stay there again when we go back to the lake lure area. We didn’t want to leave!

Cozy cabin with great decks, and great hosts
We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was so comfortable, clean and well set up. During our stay, we were downtown when the power went out in the stores. We returned to the cabin to find it was out there also. Our hosts checked on us, forwarded the power company updates and so on. They really cared about your welfare and the quality of your stay. We will gladly return and stay here again.
