Lakefront Mountain Getaway. Quiet cove perfect for water activities, fire pit.

Beautiful lakefront vacation home.

We are located at the back of our cove facing west for best views of beautiful sunsets over the Smokey Mountains. Five bedrooms (three queens, four twins) and three full baths. Smart TV in upstairs den and downstairs living area for streaming, VCR/DVD. Heart pine floors throughout downstairs.

The kitchen is fully furnished and includes plenty of storage space. There are 2 ice makers, one in the refrigerator and one in the wet bar. The dining table seats 8-12 people. There is extra dining space at the kitchen island, at a game table, and on the front porch.

We are the last house on the road, giving you privacy and a spacious parking area. Enjoy beautiful views while sitting or dining on the large lakeside deck. There is a gas grill for your convenience. Three sets of glass doors open to the deck from living area affording a splendid view of the lake and Rumblin' Bald Mountain from the downstairs living and dining area.

The boathouse has another large deck, steps down to a wading area, a sliding board into the lake, and steps up to the roof for jumping. Kayaks are available for renters use. Our cove quiet and perfect for swimming or floating.

The fire pit is great for the fall/winter or cool summer nights. The mountain behind the fire pit is wooded and at the end of the road, giving the house a private feeling and plenty of space for young explorers.

Local activities available include swimming, skiing, boating, fishing, river canoeing and tubing, golf, tennis, hiking, biking, horseback riding, dining out... you name it! ***Unfortunately, because of Hurricane Helene no one is allowed to be on the water at Lake Lure until May of 2026.***

We loved the house!! Accommodated our family just great! Although we were there during Helene & had to cut our way out, Mrs Martha was the best host! We plan to go back another family vacation to her house once Lake Lure is cleaned & back open!!

Lovely and relaxing family retreat

We loved our most recent stay at Martha's home just as much as our two prior visits. It's a great space for our extended family to gather and share time. I appreciate Martha's great communication and consideration.

Cozy, relaxing, and fun spot for family stay

With this being our second stay at Martha's home, we definitely enjoy it! With plenty of space indoors, on the deck, on the dock, and in the water, our extended family had a great time and felt very much at home. With Verizon service nearly nonexistent and very spotty internet at the house, it was mostly an unplugged week for us which is wonderful for a family vacation.

Great location!

Great location! We had a group of nine including kids, teenagers and adults. The weather was relatively cool, excellent location by the lake, perfect for parking and a giant fire pit! Lake house was also close to a couple of great hiking trails. Would like to go back when it’s a little bit warmer so that we can enjoy the lake more!

Astonishing views!

Lake Lure is a must in anyone's travel, but the cabin was what gave us the most memories!. Spacious and quaint is the best way to describe. We had 3 families stay and none of us felt crowded or on top of each other. I recommend to anyone looking and would definitely stay again. Thank you to our host for all the memories we made and the extra hospitality we received.

Lake Lure Family Vacation

Our family had a great time at this property. It’s a nice lake house with a great deck, comfortable living room and well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the kayaks, water slide, fire pit and ice maker! As mentioned in other reviews, the roads leading to the house are winding and narrow but we never had any trouble getting places. Overall a great vacation.

Fun Family Get Away!

Our family had a fun weekend at Lake Lure! The view was beautiful from the house and we all enjoyed kayaking and swimming from the private dock. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. We enjoyed visiting Chimney rock and the town. Not ideal you if you have trouble with steps. It was nice to be able to relax in such a beautiful place.

Great stay

We had a wonderful trip the house had plenty of room for all 9 of us. The puzzles toys and board games were a great surprise for the kids. The owner was extremely easy to work with, very responsive to questions. House was well stocked. Wish they hadnt been working on the lake and we could have taken the canoe out or fished, but not the owners fault. We still enjoyed the view and peacefully atmosphere!!

Wonderful home right on the water

We loved this lake house and had a great vacation there. The house was immaculate when we arrived. Every morning we had coffee on the deck overlooking the lake with a beautiful mountain. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Kayaks, canoe, and lake swimming kept us busy. Short drive to grocery store and hiking. Owner was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.

Nice house on the water

We really enjoyed our time. The house was clean, had all the pans and utensils needed for cooking, a nice fire pit, and a great view of the water from the back deck. We were there in the early spring, so not many people were staying in the other nearby houses, and it was quiet. We used the two kayaks to get out on the water. A well stocked grocery store is about 15 minutes away.

Fun-filled Restorative Week at the Lake

Our family of 3 generations had a fantastic time staying on Hummingbird Cove, and yes, we even saw many hummingbirds! The house is very comfortable, kitchen is stocked with all of the fishes and utensils we might have needed (and our family loves to cook!). We swam, fished, paddle boarded and kayaked off the dock in the quiet cove every day. We also rented a pontoon boat from the local boating company for a couple of days which was fun and convenient for exploring out further on the lake and swimming in other coves. Views are spectacular from the deck. We hope to return soon!!

Perfect spot

The house was perfect for us. We had a fabulous week. The cove is GORGEOUS. House was stocked with everything we needed. The only issue we had was the internet/tv. We like to watch shows at night and it was really hard to get access. I would recommend maybe upgrading your tv service or internet, but other than that, we loved it!

Extended family time in paradise

Cannot day enough good things about our stay. House was great for all from grands to babies as was the access to the lake. Home well equipped for cooking. Clean and comfortable and welcoming. Lots of shade from tree canopy. Plenty of comfy outdoor furniture. Kayaks and life preservers available. Grilled out most nights. Fire pit fun for all. Can’t wait for next summer to return! Owners lovely to communicate with.

A Perfect Getaway Spot

My wife and I, parents, and almost-three-year-old stayed here for the Memorial Day weekend, and we couldn't be more pleased with our decision. This property was exactly as advertised—although the breathtaking view, which we never got tired of, was even better. The house was the perfect mix of rustic, comfortable, and updated, and fully stocked with essentials for cooking. Lots of little things, like a full spice cabinet, lots of grilling utensils, an extra tank of gas for the grill, and life jackets for kids and adults, made it clear that the owner, Martha, has been (successfully) hosting people for quite some time. I live in Asheville so Lake Lure isn't unfamiliar to me, but staying here I felt like I was on a totally new vacation. On top of all this, the owner was extremely communicative and accommodating. My family and I would absolutely stay here again.

Great views. Great location. Perfect!

Wow....this place has it all. Perfect place for a family reunion. I had my parents and my siblings come down from NY for an extended weekend. We loved sitting around the open concept kitchen / dining / living room area and talking til the wee hours of the night. The back deck has an amazing view of the lake and the mountain on the other side. We could see waterfalls cascading down the mountain after it had rained the night before. The house itself was stocked with everything you could possibly need, and there was plenty of bedrooms for a large family. The Herrings were very responsive to our inquiries and clearly cared about making our stay the best it could be. This was my family's first time staying in the Lake Lure area, and we're already talking about planning another stay. Cant wait to come back.

Excellent week away!

Beautiful view, comfy home, lovely visit with family. Perfect location to feel "away from it all" but close enough to stores, hikes, and activities for all ages. Lots of shade to keep the heat away. We loved kayaking, swimming off the dock, and lounging on the porch. We had plenty of space for my the little ones, the teens, all the parents, and a set of grandparents. Martha made sure we were welcome and well-equipped for our stay. FYI: Don't plan to bring your own kayaks (Martha has some anyway) - the registration for lake use is very expensive. Do plan to get a fishing license. Patrol boats are out a lot and monitor closely. Bait can be found at the Marina in the town of Lake Lure. Roads to the house are curvy and windy but any vehicle can make it. We enjoyed it and are so thankful for our week away! Thanks!

Enjoyed our stay

First, the great ;;; The view from the back deck is spectacular! It is an end lot, which provides privacy. We loved that, but see the not so great comments, because that comes with pros and cons. The proximity to the lake, the back deck and furniture provided, and dining area, kitchen area, and den are fabulous! The wood floors and cabinets reminded me of my grandmother's house. It is not modern, so, if that is your preference, this is probably not the house for you. If you appreciate old, quality craftsmanship, then you will enjoy the feeling of nostalgia that greets you when you enter this home. Communication with the manager or owner (I'm not sure) is prompt, informative, friendly, and accurate. The fact that linens, towels, and household essentials, like trashbags and paper products, are provied is phenomenal. I really appreciated not having to pack 1/2 the house for just a weekend trip. Second, the good . . . The house is large and will accomodate groups while giving everyone some privacy. Having 3 bathrooms allowed each couple on our trip to have their own space. The location is fairly close to restaurants and shops. Our commute down the mountain to civilization was only about 10 minutes. Now the not so great . . . The bedrooms and upstairs sitting area are fairly outdated. The pillows need to be replaced and, if you don't take your own with you, you will regret it when you remove the pillowcases and look at the stains on the old pillows. There is some water damage to the ceiling in the lower-level bedroom, and the home had a bit of a musty smell on the upper level. The refrigerator has a small leak, which required us to mop it up multiple times each day. I would think the manager knows about this, because it is has resulted in some water damage to the wood flooring in front of the refrigerator, and it would take some time to cause that damage. We arrived at night, and found it a bit difficult to see where we were supposed to go. The final road to the home is narrow and, at times, it was a tight fit for a full-size truck. Those of us with Verizon had no cell service. The one in our group with AT&T had service, although it was spotty at times. The TV would not receive a signal, which wasn't really a problem for us as we were busy with other activities. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend the home! We will certainly consider it again when we return to the area.

Great Vacation on Lake Lure

We loved our stay at this Lake Lure property! It was such a charming home with everything we needed. We loved the privacy of being at the end of the cove. The view of the lake and mountains was wonderful. We had adequate parking and it was great to walk right into the house with no one xtra steps for my elderly mom. Loved our stay!
