Catahoula Cabin by Carolina Properties

*** Summer 2025 - Lake Lure Update ***

Per the website www.townoflakelure.com: Lake Use in 2025- Town Council and Town leadership are keenly aware of the importance of reopening the Lake as soon as it is safe to do so. Given the timing of the work that has been completed thus far and the need for ongoing work moving forward, it is extremely unlikely that the Lake will be able to open for the 2025 summer season. (This includes motorized and non-motorized vessels and swimming.) For those of you who have been following our storm recovery process closely, this news may not be a surprise to you. I thought it was important to share this news with you directly. Please note that Town Council and Town leadership will continue to evaluate options for opening the Lake or portions of the Lake and we will continue to keep you informed with any updates as new information becomes available.

Welcome to Catahoula Cabin!  Surrounded by lovely hardwoods and tucked away on the hills of Lake Lure, this cabin is perfect for anyone looking to get away for a bit and connect with each other. From the moment you enter the log cabin, you’re welcomed into a soothing environment that will put you into that vacation mindset. 

The main level features a kitchen with a gas range, a dining table that seats 6, a conveniently located half bath, a living room with high ceilings and gas logs, and a TV. This level also offers a bedroom with a king bed, full bath, and TV.  The upper level has a bedroom with a king bed, a full bathroom in the hall, and a bedroom with two queen beds.

Spend your mornings sipping coffee or tea as the sunlight filters through the trees surrounding the back deck and the creek rumbles by with the melody of bird songs.  There is a wood-burning fire pit & a small creek for your enjoyment. When you’re ready to adventure out, go to Lake Lure’s public 3-acre white sand beach to rent a kayak, paddle board, or spend your time lounging in the sun. Perhaps lunch at Burntshirt Vineyards and Bistro and take in the face of Chimney Rock as you sip on local wine and feast on carefully cultivated seasonal entrees. Take your time wandering down main street Chimney Rock, browsing the shops and sights, stopping at Hickory Nut Gorge Brewery for a local brew, Coffee On the Rocks for a nice berry smoothie or almond milk latte, or John Bull Trading Co. for the best fudge in town. For those up for a hike, visit Chimney Rock State Park and climb the 100+ steps to the top, or ride up in their brand new elevator.

Wrap your evening up with a nice dinner at LakeHouse Restaurant Bar & Grille, ordering a platter of apps for the table with delights such as crab stuffed mushrooms, spinach dip, and BBQ wings. Enjoy a juicy filet mignon on a bed of onion straws or a local special Blue Ridge Mountain Trout that is pecan encrusted. Once you’ve had your fill of the adventurous day and delectable eats, head back to the cabin for a relaxing evening - playing board games in front of the rustling gas fire as you watch a movie on cable or laughing around the campfire as you reflect on the day and past times together.

Take one of your days at Catahoula Cabin to venture into Asheville, an hour away, and explore the vibrant downtown food, arts, and beer scene. Spend a morning walking through the gardens and grounds of the Biltmore Estate, a historical home with award-winning gardens and amazing architecture. Lunch at one of the restaurants on the Estate, or head back into Asheville to dine at one of the many James Beard-nominated restaurants. No matter where you eat, you’re guaranteed to experience the amazing flavor and delightfully crafted meals. Rest your weary feet in the summer while floating down the French Broad River on a tube, and enjoy your lazy afternoon.

As a guest at Catahoula Cabin, you'll have full access to the elite Rumbling Bald Resort located just 10 minutes away. Boasting the North Shore Beach Cabana and marina, where you can play around on the water by kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or pontoon boat, this resort also offers tennis courts, pickleball, various hiking and biking trails, and an adventure camp designed for kids (ages 6-18). You can still enjoy the resort amenities inside, even on those inevitably rainy days. Rumbling Bald has several shops, restaurants, a spa, a salon, a fitness center, and a private indoor pool, so the fun can continue. There's truly something for everyone in the family to enjoy at this premier resort!
