Special Update – Lake Lure Reopening
Lake Lure is officially open following Hurricane Helene, and normal lake use has resumed! Previous lakewide no-wake restrictions have been lifted, so guests can once again enjoy boating and time on the water while continuing to follow all posted no-wake zones, boating guidelines, and local lake rules.
Chimney Rock businesses are also open and ready to welcome visitors back. This is a wonderful time to return to the area, enjoy the lake, explore Chimney Rock, and support the local businesses and communities that make this region so special. Please note that public docks remain closed at this time. Guests who would like to get out on the water can rent boats through Yonder, with delivery available for lakefront homes or pickup available at the southernmost point of the lake.
Rosewater Cottage is an elevated lakefront retreat on Lake Lure that blends authentic 1970s lake-house charm with the features today’s guests search for most: direct water access, unforgettable outdoor living, gathering-friendly spaces, fast fiber internet, and room for families or groups to spread out. Tucked in a quiet cove just around the corner from Rumbling Bald, this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom cottage offers sweeping water and mountain views, a rare double boathouse with expansive deck, a private high dive, paddleboards, a lakefront fire pit, and a spacious screened porch made for long mornings, shared meals, and sunset conversations. It is the kind of stay guests book when they want a true Lake Lure experience with both character and comfort.
