Special Update – Lake Lure Reopening
Exciting news for Lake Lure guests: 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.

White Oak Point | Two Homes, One Lakefront Stay — Restored 1775 Fort + 1930s Cabin (Hot Tub, Gig Wi-Fi, Kayaks & SUPs)

Welcome to White Oak Point—a truly one-of-a-kind two-homes-in-one lakefront retreat. When you book, you get exclusive use of TWO separate historic homes just a short walk apart: Russell’s Fort (built in 1775) and The Cabin at White Oak Point (a charming 1930s cabin). It’s the ideal setup for groups who want to be together while still enjoying extra space, privacy, and multiple living areas.

Home #1: Russell’s Fort at White Oak Point (1775)
Step into living history in the first of your two included homes. Russell’s Fort is an authentic Revolutionary War-era fort built in 1775, featuring an original hand-hewn log structure that was disassembled and restored (as seen on Barnwood Builders). The renovation thoughtfully adds modern amenities and updated technology while preserving the fort’s historic craftsmanship. With 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across 3 stories, it brings comfort, space, and a true “wow” factor.

Home #2: The Cabin at White Oak Point (1930s)
Just steps away, your second included home—The Cabin at White Oak Point—offers classic mountain-lake charm. With original period hardwood floors and warm, historic décor, it has been a successful vacation rental for years. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, it’s an ideal complement to the fort for groups who want added privacy, quiet mornings, or a separate space for kids, couples, or grandparents.

Living Spaces & Amenities (Across Both Homes)
Because you’re getting two homes in one booking, your group can enjoy:

Multiple gathering areas (spread out or come together)
Two fully equipped kitchens with high-end appliances
Large-screen TVs for movie nights and game days
Gig-speed Wi-Fi for streaming, remote work, and staying connected
2 hot tubs and 2 saunas for the perfect end to a lake day

Lakefront Outdoor Living — Shared Waterfront, Twice the Space
White Oak Point offers hundreds of feet of lake frontage and ample deck space across the property for sunbathing, relaxing, and lingering meals outside. When it’s time to get on the water, you’ll have kayaks and stand-up paddle boards ready to go—so everyone can choose their own adventure.

Absolutely Amazing

Vacation Date: June 4, 2026

"An absolutely amazing experience! Even with the rainy days, the family had a blast. There were 14 of us, including 7 teenagers and grandpa. There was so much for everyone to do. Location was perfect. There are lots of stairs and getting between the two properties is a bit of an obstacle course but that seemed to make it all the more fun for kids; but would make it tricky for older folks or people with mobility issues. If you are just staying in the cabin rather than both houses, this wouldn’t be an issue. Overall- fabulous! We can’t wait to come back!

Our stay was WONDERFUL

Vacation Date: May 6, 2026

"What a joy to be back at Lake Lure with our group of friends! The lake was full and so beautiful with shops and restaurants open and roads restored. Best of all was being at White Oak Point. I don’t know when I have enjoyed a lakeside accommodation as much as this one: so many places for our group to gather, charming decor, ample amenities, well stocked kitchens and bathrooms and breathtaking views! How special it was to be staying in revolutionary war era, Fort Russell. I felt like I was a part of history and I got such a kick out of the black bear theme. I can’t say enough to recommend this fabulous place. Every detail was thought out with care, knowledge and respect for Lake Lure’s history and environment.

What a wonderful place to celebrate the lake at full pond.

Vacation Date: April 6, 2026

"We recently rented White Oak Point and Russell’s Fort to celebrate our 50th annual reunion of friends AND the return of the lake we all have loved. The arrangement of the complex was perfect, with 4 bedrooms in the fort and 3 bedrooms in the cabin (for folks who prefer bedrooms without stairs). The living room in the Fort and the large outdoor spaces ensured we could all get together for meals and fun. Needless to say our love for Lake Lure was renewed thanks to this perfect venue.

Excellent

Vacation Date: April 28, 2026

"Our team had a great stay at the cabins! The cabins had a lot of outdoor space that was great to sit at to relax or do work. There were swings, multiple decks, and areas to sit at outside. It also gave us a beautiful view of the lake and a great space to swim and enjoy the scenery. Both cabins were also great, having a bathroom for almost every room and a lot of space to sit for our large group during dinners. The rooms were also great, providing room for everyone to share a queen bed and a nice room. The host was also great, his communication was top notch and he gave us very clear instructions for check in and check out and made our experience very easy to navigate.

And the host was so responsive even helping in the late evening when we couldn’t get the alarm to turn off during check in and walking us through both buildings as was dark when we arrived. He checked in throughout the stay to make sure we were comfortable.

"10/10 recommend. Though we didn’t use half these things, this place had everything you could need, down to two fire pits, paddle boards, boats, porch swings, rocking chairs, plenty of parking. It was easy to find and the host was extremely communicative from day 1. Everything was clean-i think we might have been the first to use the towels. The two structures were very close and it looked like they were getting a third ready. Great for large groups. What are you waiting for?

"We had an absolutely amazing stay at Fort Russell on Lake Lure! From the moment we arrived, our host, James, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making us feel right at home. The cabin itself is truly a gem—full of history and charm, it’s such a cool piece of the past that made our trip even more special. The views of the lake were breathtaking, and the cabin’s cozy yet spacious atmosphere was perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable getaway.

WOWZA

Vacation Date: September 6, 2024

"WOWZA what a stay at White Oak Point! This is a unique, fun, everything-you-could-need kind of place. The location is divided into two rentals and our group had both for a long reunion weekend. The host, James (who is really, really nice) was excellent in communication ahead of time and the place is a wonderful break from the regular, run-of-the-mill Airbnbs we're all used to seeing, as it's a relocated and restored historical fort. Despite the history, the houses had all the modern amenities you could ask for, including great kitchen spaces and a nice big TV that the group enjoyed on several occasions. The outside space was just as great - several decks gave great views of the lake, a huge, hard-wired gas grill, TWO hot tubs and several spaces for outdoor dining. There is something like 300 feet of lakefront dock, and Lake Lure is an absolutely beautiful, charming gem of a lake.

Perfect Vacation

Vacation Date: July 1, 2024

"White Oak Point is a great place to have fun and frolic and we did plenty of both when we were there last week. The property is fabulous and has everything you would ever need for a perfect vacation - 2 fire pits, 2 hot tubs, kayaks, outdoor dining spaces, 2 grills, and a pizza oven! But all of that is just a bonus. The real heart of the place is the fort. When you walk into the fort at White Oak Point, you are entering history. Every single item has been chosen with intention, care, and yes, love. The tools, the paintings, the carved wooden canoe are appropriately displayed in the beautiful setting. This place is honoring history and, truth be told, it’s an honor to be there. That said, there is always room for frivolity. I guarantee you have never seen so many bears of the decorative kind (and maybe of the natural kind) in your life! I had to think a few minutes about the flatware because there are no bears, then realized it has honeybees and we all know how much bears love honey. The three bedroom cabin, while not old, is in perfect harmony with the fort. The log beds and quilt coverlets add just the right touch. The cabin has its own kitchen, living room, and 2 ½ baths. The huge trees shading the outdoor space in front of the cabin frame the view of the lake beautifully, especially in the late afternoon. The deck atop the boathouse is the largest I’ve seen, and our family has been vacationing at Lake Lure for 24 years. This one comes with an extra bonus - shade and sunshine which for most of the day is about equally divided for the sun lovers and old, sensible people. The real bonus, however, is the nicest host you’ve ever known. James is a wonder! This property is much more than a nice vacation rental, We’ve already booked for next year.
