We want to be upfront about the status of Lake Lure. In October of 2024, Hurricane Helene left an unprecedented amount of debris, and while cleanup efforts are underway with the US Army Corps of Engineers, the lake has remained closed and will continue to be closed for the rest of 2025.
However, we’re pleased to share that the town of Lake Lure has announced its official target date to fully reopen the lake for the 2026 summer season: May 1, 2026. While this timeline isn’t guaranteed, we remain optimistic that this goal will be achieved through ongoing restoration efforts.
In the meantime, the magic of Lake Lure extends far beyond the water—breathtaking mountain views, charming local restaurants, award-winning vineyards, scenic hiking trails, championship golf courses at Rumbling Bald, and the world-class Tryon Equestrian Center just 25 minutes away are all ready to welcome you.
Step into Serenity Cabin, where mountain beauty meets modern comfort. The perfect retreat for families or groups, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin invites you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Cozy nights by the indoor gas fireplace or starlit evenings soaking in the hot tub on the expansive deck await. Whether enjoying competitive rounds of air hockey in the game room or roasting marshmallows by the fire pit, Serenity Cabin offers a memorable experience from the moment you arrive. The primary bedroom has a spacious king bed with comfortable bedding. The queen bedroom provides a peaceful space to unwind after exploring. Additionally, the bunk room, which features two twin/full bunk beds, offers an excellent option for kids or larger groups.
The living room offers a relaxing atmosphere with plush seating around the indoor gas fireplace. The smart TV provides easy access to your favorite streaming services for a relaxing movie night. The fully stocked kitchen includes all the essentials and a coffee maker for your morning brew. Dine indoors or step outside to the deck for a meal with mountain views. Step outside to the large deck, perfect for enjoying coffee or barbecuing on the charcoal grill/smoker. Gather around the fire pit in the yard for an evening under the stars. The hot tub provides the ultimate relaxation spot after a day of exploration. The game room is a hub of entertainment, equipped with air hockey, ping pong, and a pool table. It is fun for both kids and adults and with various options, your stay at Serenity Cabin promises to be filled with excitement and laughter.
