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.

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.

Songbird Sanctuary

Hendersonville, NC, US
4 Bedrooms 8 Guests
Dec 31 - Jan 2
$218 night

Songbird Sanctuary began new management in 2023, so reviews prior to 2023 do not reflect the current management of the home. On the main level, a well-designed, open-concept kitchen and living room create an inviting entrance overlooking long-range mountain views. Choose to enjoy the warmth of the gas logs while enjoying a favorite show, or step outside onto the spacious deck for additional covered dining space. Two bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, can be found on the main floor, along with a full bathroom (bathtub only) with hallway access. The upper level of the home has a bedroom with a queen-sized bed and en suite bathroom (walk-in shower only). Continue to the lower level for the heart of entertainment! Here, you’ll find a pool table, cozy couch seating, a kitchenette, and a smart TV equipped with YouTubeTV. Step just outside onto the deck to soak in the hot tub. Songbird Sanctuary is within a 20-minute drive to the quaint Village of Chimney Rock, Lake Lure Beach & Waterpark, Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, and scenic Chimney Rock State Park, so you can spend your days hiking on the various trails within the state park, browsing the adorable shops, or soaking up the sun, swimming, and canoeing on Lake Lure’s mountain beach. While in town, grab lunch at Lake House Restaurant Bar & Grill, La Strada, or Point of View before sampling a local beer at Hickory Nut Gorge Brewery or a glass of locally-curated wine at Burntshirt Vineyards. The home is also within a 25-minute drive of Fairview. While in this area, be sure to check out Hickory Nut Gap Farm which is best known for its meat supply to the finest farm-to-table restaurants in the AVL area and as a stop along the WNC Cheese Trail. Another destination along the cheese trail is Looking Glass Creamery. Stop by to sample their homemade cheese & “Carmoolita” caramel paired with a glass of wine. For more farm fun, visit the sustainable Flying Cloud Farm, where you can treat yourself to a vibrant U-pick bouquet of native flowers & a bushel of fresh berries. For area hiking, check out Bearwallow Mountain trail, an easy 1-mile hike that reaches a grassy meadow at its summit and features a nearly 360° view that includes Mt. Mitchell and Mt. Pisgah. You’ll love strolling through the wildflowers & picnicking alongside the grazing cattle that call this mountaintop home. After your hike, reward yourself with a cold beer from Whistlehop Brewing Co. Nestled on a sprawling 3 acres, this family & pet-friendly train-themed taproom offers a 6-hole mini-golf course, and other fun games and activities that include disc golf connect 4, half-scale bowling lane, bocce, a giant culvert slide, and soccer. Gather around the fire pit and take in beautiful mountain views from the covered open-air deck while munching down on grub from a selection of rotating food trucks. Also nearby is Turgua Brewing, which is situated beside Cane Creek and offers live music to enjoy while sipping on their craft ciders, meads, or ales. Remember that no trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina is complete without checking out the bustling and eccentric city of Asheville, just 40 minutes away. Home to art galleries, craft breweries, award-winning restaurants, specialty boutiques, and novelty shops, you could easily spend all your time in the bustling heart of downtown. While in Asheville, check out the iconic Biltmore Estate and America’s Favorite Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway. After a full day of exploring nearby towns and cities, head home to cozy up around the gas log fireplace and soak in the hot tub while looking out at the stunning mountain views. With no shortage of covered deck space and mountain views throughout the house, you’ll long to return to Songbird Sanctuary! Please note: This house is dog-friendly with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per dog (maximum of two). Sorry, this home is not cat-friendly due to common allergies. Spectrum Fiber internet was added in July 2024 (average speeds of 350+ Mbps).
