** No Lake Lure this year? No problem! Riverbend Community features two private, easily accessible lakes perfect for summer fun. **

Located in Riverbend at Lake Lure, The Winding River House is a beautiful new riverside log home, surrounded by picturesque forest with a private lake a short walk away. It has sunny porches overlooking the river in the private, gated community of Riverbend at Lake Lure.

Spend your day tubing down the river, swimming at the lake, or relaxing on the porch! Enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

The location offers easy access to nearby restaurants, zip lines, hiking, fishing, boating, swimming. It is a short drive to the Lake Lure beach and Chimney Rock State Park; quaint shops in Chimney Rock and Hendersonville; and music and theater in Brevard and Flat Rock. This home is 6.0 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 7.3 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, and 17.3 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC).

More Comforts than Home

This family-friendly (sorry, no four-legged family members), home-away-from-home has 4 bedrooms, a bunk room, and a game room set for ping pong and movie-watching. It is well-equipped with all the comforts of home plus some!  The main level has a large great room with a wall of windows, gas-log fireplace; gourmet kitchen (with granite countertops and upgraded appliances); half bath with full-size stack washer and dryer; and master bedroom with queen bed, large walk-in closet, and spacious private bath. The upper level has two bedrooms with queen-size beds, a lovely full bath in the hall, and a large loft separating the two bedrooms. The lower level has a cozy family room with a bunk area, a large full bath, and a private bedroom with queen size bed.  There is definitely room for everyone!

A River Runs Through It

This home is 6.0 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 7.3 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, and 17.3 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC).

There are also several excellent golf courses nearby, including Apple Valley Golf Course, Bald Mountain Golf Course, and Etowah Valley Country Club and Golf Resort, which Golf Digest rated as one of the top 50 golf destinations in the US.  The Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area is conveniently situated for outdoor adventure, including horseback riding, tubing, water sports, hiking; museums and theater; the Biltmore Estate and Village; shopping and restaurants, and so much more.

This beautiful home is centrally located just 15 minutes from Bat Cave; 35 minutes from Hendersonville; 50 minutes from Asheville; and about 2 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina. Also nearby are Pisgah National Forest (less than 1 hour from Lake Lure), which has over 500,000 acres of protected forest, and DuPont State Recreational Forest (1.25 hours from Lake Lure) with over 10,000 acres. These forests feature hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, horse trails, exquisite waterfalls, and beautiful mountaintop views. If you and/or your children are fans of The Hunger Games book and movie, a scene with Katniss and Gale was shot at the Pisgah National Forest. A few small but significant scenes were also filmed at the DuPont State Recreational Forest.​Riverbend at Lake Lure Amenities

In addition, you can also enjoy all the amenities Riverbend has to offer: swim in Mirror Lake or Kayak (Kayak provided), build sandcastles on Mirror Lake Beach (there’s a play area for children); have a meal at the covered picnic site complete with picnic tables, rocking chairs, stone fireplaces to BBQ lunch, restrooms and spectacular views; hike, bike, or jog one of the many trails; or sit and relax by the waterfall and river. The fishing is excellent, and there is a bait shop just across the road near the main entrance.

Perfect Year-Round

Winding River House is perfect for every season! Enjoy the beautiful snowy weather in the winter, where a cozy cottage feels just right. Visit in the summer when the weather is perfect all the time, and you can enjoy the soothing summer breezes and beautiful sunsets from every window, not to mention the awesome fun on the river. When everything is beginning to bloom in the spring, the region is known for its beautiful autumn colors.
No matter the season, this mountain home, our beautiful area, and Lake Lure have so much to offer, whether it is plentiful choices of restaurants or shopping or a fun outdoor adventure you and your loved ones will never forget!

*** 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.

Smoking is prohibited in all of our vacation rental homes.
Pets are not allowed in this home or on the property.

Parking for two (2) vehicles only. Guests may park an additional vehicle in the Riverbend at Lake Lure parking area, to the right of the gatehouse, and carpool to the home (be careful not to interrupt the flow of traffic through the parking area).

Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. local time (or anytime later).
Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. local time (or anytime earlier).
