Lake Lure adventure
This house is very private located on a cove with a view of the lake. The firepit, upper deck and porch gave you several spots to view the water and just relax. The cottage is updated and is very comfortable. Just a few updates that the owners could make that would make this place an even better gem.

Perfect Lake Getaway
The house is absolutely perfect for a lake stay. We enjoyed the sun deck for afternoon lounging and the hammock was a favorite. At night we used the fire pit and the hot tub. It is close to town and the grocery store. We will definitely return!

Perfect lake home
Our family of 5 loved spending our Spring Break here. Even with the water down for the season, we could easily get the provided kayaks and paddle boards into the lake. The home is clean, nicely decorated, and well stocked. We also enjoyed soaking in the hot tub overlooking the water and soaking up the sun on the deck over the boathouse. We will be back, for sure!

Loved our stay!
This place had everything we needed for a nice relaxing long weekend. The decor, the outdoor space, the views. Just stunning! I cannot wait to return. The bedding was so comfortable I slept so well. Hot water and water pressure was on point. It’s the little things. So much attention to detail on this cottage! Loved the outdoor lighting!! We spent the day hiking at Chimney rock and that was much more beautiful than I had anticipated. The little town had some great restaurants and shops right on the river.

Blue Moon Cottage is a MUST stay!!!!
A perfect combination of cozy cottage and modern amenities!!! The cottage is well appointed and Deeanna is an incredible host. Not only did she answer any questions I had...but her level of excitement for us to visit truly made us feel like family!! We made the most of our visit...paddle boards, kayaks, a campfire with s'mores ...and a relaxing time in the hot tub. The ONLY disappointing part of our stay is when we had to say goodbye. We will return for sure!!! Thank you for a wonderful visit Blue Moon Cottage...you are quite a special place!💙

Long weekend with friends
This was our third trip to the lake and we really loved this cottage. Beautiful, modern updates and plenty of room for 4 adults. Quiet cove, room for our boat to pull up alongside the dock. Would book again!

Great Lake Lure house
The house was perfect for myself, my husband, 2 boys and 2 dogs. The boathouse and dock were our favorites. The kitchen and bathrooms were lovely and well provisioned. Great place for family and dogs!

Peaceful lake cottage
This is exactly what we were needing. What a beautiful home overlooking the lake! We cannot wait to go back. We really liked that you can easily access the lake just by a couple of steps (perfect for children). Stocked kitchen was essential for all of our cooking needs.

Our second time visiting 🤩
We can’t not say enough good things about this place! it is incredible. This is our second time visiting and it just feels like coming home! It’s always such a peaceful retreat for us! A place to recharge and take in the beautiful nature! This time we also visited Chimney Rock village which was so fun, found some great eats and places for drinks!

2nd visit
We stayed here back in April and loved it so much we booked again for early October. The leaves had just begun to change and it was still a perfect 70 deg High and 55 low. We tried multiple restaurants and hiking trails nearby and took out the paddle boards/kayaks from the cottage. Can’t wait to come back!

Birthday at Bluemoon Cottage
This was the perfect lake front cottage for some time away. We loved the hiking and restaurants in Chimney Rock especially Highlands. And the Chimney Rock Brewery. Loved being on the river. Near the house the restaurant Appalachia is incredible. As good as the reviews said. The house itself is so updated and tasteful. I loved their style. The dock and walkways were top notch. I liked being able to shut the gates for the dog to play around on the deck. The beds were very comfy and the house is spotless. We would definitely stay again.

Great, Even in the Offseason!
Even with the lake down 12 feet (maybe more ?!?) we had a great time celebrating my husband’s birthday! It was fun to have some “beach” area for the kids to play. We had the whole lake to ourselves for canoeing and kayaking! The kitchen was well stocked, the hot tub was clean and toasty, the fireplace was great for morning coffee and the outside fire pit for evening drinks and smores! We hope to return in a warmer month to explore more!! <3

Great place to stay, very well equipped and comfortable
Had a nice trip with our family and dogs. The only real suggestion I would have is to build a block with lattice or something along the steps from the top of the boathouse down to the water, as our dogs tried walking onto the roof from the steps. They could fall off the other side easily and be injured. Otherwise perfect stay and very nice easy water access for dogs and kids.

I could live here! Gorgeous place!
WOW! What an incredible place! The location on the lake with stunning mountain views from the boat house was epic! Having canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards to enjoy was a huge plus. Enjoyed a campfire and cocktails right by the lake and the star gazing was out of this world. The cottage is surrounded by big beautiful trees and I was there at peak Fall leaf season and OMG is was like something out of a story book. The cottage's decor was perfection. With a stone fireplace and a hot tub on the deck, gosh you just couldn't even want anything more. I didn't want to leave! Truly one of my most fav places I have ever stayed.

Lovely Lake Retreat!
We have been spending a week in September at Lake Lure for several years now; this was our favorite home thus far! It was perfect for the two of us and our dog. It would work well for a family of 4 as well I think. The home is very clean, organized and well-equipped. The boat house had kayaks and a fun raft and floats; we brought our own paddle board (there are a couple smaller ones but i have a large SUP cruiser) and it was super easy to get in and out at the stairs and shallow area. We enjoyed the house, the deck on top of the boat house, the fire pit and the hot tub. We always enjoy paddling on the lake and visiting Chimney Rock as part of our visit.

Lake Life is the Best Life!
We had a wonderful trip with friends and our dogs. The house feels spacious and well appointed with items for a comfortable stay. The beds were super comfy and made for a wonderful nights sleep. The updates are beautiful and the layout really distributes bed and bath space evenly which is amazing if you are sharing with another couple. We truly enjoyed the lake toys and having meals on the deck as well as boat house. The evenings were still a bit cool so we were able to enjoy the fire pit at the waters edge a couple of night which was the perfect way to end the day. We scheduled the nostalgic sunset boat tour on a 1938 Chris Craft - the boat was stunning. The guide (also the Mayor of Lake Lure) picked us up at the boat house - talk about service. We felt spoiled. We live in Hendersonville, NC so we are only an hour away but this vacation gave us the opportunity to really enjoy the lake to the fullest. We can’t wait to come back again. Kindest Regards, The Medearis Family

Blue to be leaving Blue Moon Cottage!
The cottage is absolutely charming and functional. We loved that most all of the water toys you could want are part of the pkg. The only thing you might want is a motorized boat (I would gladly pay extra to have access to an older party barge or boat to just slow ride around the lake to see the sights). The paddle boards, kayaks, floats etc are all easily accessible and functional. The cottage was built in the 60’s and is just a standard type one story but do NOT let this scare you! The entire cottage has been updated with nods to its history leaving the charm intact. The amenities are new, clean and work. The decor is very custom for Lake Lure with vintage postcards, pics, map, artwork showing sweet Lake Lure history. We adored Blue Moon Cottage and will definitely rent again!

A Quick Relaxing Getaway
We live in Western NC so we are no strangers to the marvels mountain views NC had to offer. But when you add a lakeview in the mix you have the perfect duo! We wanted a peaceful little place on the water to relax and celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and Blue Moon Cottage did not disappoint! Actually, it now has us thinking we'd love to have a cozy little getaway on a lake with mountainviews! The deck above the boathouse is such a great space to unwind, read a book, or just listen to the chatter and laughter of other visitors travel along the lake. We went just ahead of the busy season so it was fairly quiet but we can see how high season might get a little noisier. The house was well appointed but we woukd suggest making a quick stop at Ingles to get some basic food in case the weather isn't great - especially if you're not used to driving the mountain roads of NC. The area is great and it's so close to Chimney Rock. The town has a lot of shops and such if you like to walk around. We brought our senior dog so we didn't get to do much of that, but we were more than thrilled to hang out at the cottage just the same! The cottage was clean, cozy, and updated (and we're kind of picky about those things). If interested, a little history on the house was enclosed in the welcome binder (which I found to be a nice touch!). Overall, we had a great time and would definitely return again!

Holiday Break
The beds were clearly not cleaned. Images of sheets and blankets were sent to the property manager who responded immediately- unfortunately by the time we saw and contacted them this it was almost 9pm as we arrived Friday night. There were no extra linens so we washed them ourselves. For a stay of 2 nights that costs over 1000.00, I expect a clean bed. Other than the sheets and bed not being washed, having hair and stains, the home as well as the location is gorgeous-everything else was perfect. The rest of the home was cleaned. I would love someone to contact me as it’s a shame such a beautiful place can’t be used more often. I travel at least 5 times a year and was hoping to make this home one of our regular visits. Understandably not everything is under one’s control however, for the price, more than an “I’m sorry” is required. Though it was suggested that someone come the next day to see the bed we weren’t going to wait to take care of the issue until then. Having only one full day to enjoy, waiting around wasn’t an option nor was sleeping on a dirty bed. Since then I have reached out again and was told that someone would get in touch. Again, they responded within the hour but I have yet to speak with anyone on another solution.

The Stay Of Your Dreams
WOW 🤩 so we travel full-time and have to say this place is truly one of the most wonderful places we’ve ever stayed! The Blue Moon Cottage has it ALL 🙌 The views from the deck are something from out of this world! Seriously, we couldn’t get enough of the lake and mountain views! Before settling in to Blue Moon Cottage, we stopped at the Ingles Grocery store 3 miles away and stocked up on all the food and snacks so that we could spend as much time as possible at the property and we’re so glad we did because we didn’t want to leave during our 4 day stay! Haha it’s that perfect. Having access to all of the water sports in the boathouse made for the perfect lake vacay! We loved using the Stand Up Paddleboards and Kayaks and exploring the area by water! What a cool way to see the area. Doing yoga on the deck at sunset has to be a favorite experience for us too! We watched the sunset every night on the deck, had a little bonfire, loved using the Jacuzzi, and having movie night in the cozy living room! The interior of the space was perfectly laid out and was seriously so beautiful and comfortable, we slept like rocks in those amazing beds! Love that it’s pet-friendly and safe to say our dogs had just as amazing of a time as we did, especially with the wrap around/gated deck! It was perfection! The only time we left the cottage during our entire stay was one day for lunch and we went to Legend on the Lake to grab a bite and that was fantastic! They had great gluten free and vegetarian options too! Would absolutely recommend this stay to any and everyone for the trip of your dreams! Such a hidden gem! Can’t wait to come back someday 💛

Love this house!
The house is great but it’s the boat deck/house and the lake that make it awesome! The owners provide lots of floats and kayaks and paddle boards so it’s a fun time.
