Historic Lake Front Cottage- FirePit, Large Boathouse Deck

Lake Lure continues to recover from Hurricane Helene! We’re pleased to share that Timber Cove Cottage and the Lake Lure area are once again welcoming guests. Thanks to dedicated contractor and volunteer efforts, access roads and essential services like power, water, and WiFi, are restored. Although the Chimney Rock area, Lake Lure beaches and waterfront are currently closed, there is so much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. Come enjoy Timber Cove Cottage as a peaceful retreat and “home base” for visiting nearby towns and attractions. Area restaurants, including Lake Lure and Asheville are reopening. There's golf at Rumbling Bald, and area wineries, breweries, music, trails, waterfalls, and so much natural beauty within an hour's drive of Lake Lure. Tryon Equestrian Center is hosting some of the Chimney Rock businesses that suffered from the storm. Saluda, Hendersonville, Forest City, Asheville, and larger cities like Greenville, SC and Charlotte, NC are great day-trip destinations. By choosing to visit, you’re supporting the local businesses of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and Western NC. We look forward to welcoming you!

Timber Cove Cottage is one of Lake Lure’s most historic and scenic lakefront homes, with features dating back to the 1930’s. You will be captivated by the nearly 2 acres of beautifully landscaped stone terraces, walkways, and fire pit area. The wonderful outdoor spaces continue with an inviting roof-top deck, overlooking Timber Cove, Lake Lure and surrounding mountains. The home has been meticulously restored and updated while maintaining the original “lake cottage” layout and feel. Professionally managed, cleaned, and sanitized linen service. 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms. Sleeps up to 8.

Great Labor Day Weekend at Timber Cove Cottage
My wife and I stayed here with our daughter, her husband, and our 2 year old grandson. We had a great time at Timber Cover Cottage, and very much appreciated the location, the grounds, the character and charm of the cottage, the amenities, the views, and the list goes on. Highly recommend a visit!

Family Fun Vacation Spot
Overall, this house was perfect for the size of our family and had everything you would need to have a great time at this mountain lake location. The scenery was spectacular and the cove was perfect for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. Plenty of wildlife activity as well which was cool to see (small bear passing by, deer, lightning bugs, beavers to name a few). Good locale near all the places that Lake Lure/Chimney Rock had to offer. The only drawback was around the septic tank/water situation. We were made aware on check in that this issue was being addressed through the city and the homeowner to have a main water line moving away from the septic tank. Some minor issues were tub drainage, garbage disposal not being able to be used, and a consistent odor in the downstairs bathroom. Minus a few small issues the house was amazing and will be a great place to book for your next family vacation.

10/10 Stay
We throughly enjoyed our stay at Timber Cove Cottage! This property is absolutely gorgeous, even more so than the pictures. The check-in process was super easy and Kathleen the property manager was very responsive to our needs. We appreciate the owners allowing us to use the kayaks and paddle boards; definitely an added perk of the trip. I can’t speak for the other beds but the master on the top level was very comfy! The house has everything you need and we didn’t want for a thing. This trip was nothing short of amazing and provided the rest and relaxation we so desperately needed. We would love to return to Timber Cove someday!

Great New Year's Eve Stay
Check in process was easy and the property looked even nicer than the photos! The fire pit was a big hit. Everything we needed was there. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of comfy seating for 7 in front of the cozy fire as well as the big farm table for dining. We enjoyed stargazing from the deck even though it was a bit chilly. We enjoyed exploring Chimney Rock, Triple Falls, and Hendersonville. Kathleen was very helpful. One word of caution, we encountered the neighbor's agressive dogs when taking the trash to the end of the drive, so if you have small kids, don't let them wander down the drive by themselves. It could have been a one time thing but just an FYI. I would definitely stay here again!

Heaven on the Lake
Had a wonderful week here! House was amazing, the view incredible and the water was so cool and refreshing! House was very clean with all the amenities you could need. Stairs and steps throughout the property could definitely be a challenge for some people. A railing down at the steps leading into the water is definitely needed for safety. Overall, this was a fantastic property! Highly recommend!

Great long weekend!
We stayed for a long weekend. We wanted to cook and eat all our meals there. The grill worked great, there was a full sized refrigerator and electric range with 4 burners and two ovens. The kitchen was fully equipped with utensils, pots and pans, dishes, silverware and serving dishes. Plenty of towels, wash cloths and blankets. There was a nice fire pit that we used and lots of small gathering places to relax. We used the kayaks and some of the life jackets and it was nice to have our own dock. I would definitely recommend this place!

Excellent headquartered location for a diverse mountain small town vibe, filled with waterfalls, varied hikes, and tours of indie breweries. Add in multiple live music venues, and you have arguably one of the most desirable places to move to.

Hope to come back next year!
We have stayed in a lot of short term rentals all over western North Carolina, and this has been our favorite. This is obviously a very well cared for home. The property is beautiful (make sure you wear bug spray, though!), and our kids loved exploring it. We loved sitting on the deck for meals and looking out at the water. The kayaks and stand-up paddleboard were great and kept us busy. The layout is a little untraditional, so you have to go through one bedroom to get to the other and one bathroom. This was fine for us because it was just our kids, but this house may not work for three adult couples. The kitchen could use with a few new pots and pans and more dishes, but we made it work and it was a better equipped kitchen than a lot of other rentals. We are already planning to come back next year!

Wonderful Family Lake Trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Timbercove Cottage. My spouse kept saying "this property is amazing," and we all agreed! All of the common areas - inside and outside - were very comfortable. We enjoyed the close proximity to the grocery store and other parts of town. We also appreciated being in a cove but still near the heart of the lake. The fire pit and the stream outside were definite bonuses for our children.
