The Bears Castle - Lake Lure

LAKE LURE WILL NOT BE OPEN FOR RECREATIONAL BOATING, FISHING, OR SWIMMING IN THE 2025 SEASON. Although the lake is closed and lowered while Hurricane Helene cleanup continues, there is much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. LAKE ADGER, SHUMONT LAKE, LAKE LANIER, and MIRROR LAKE suffered no damage, so homes and those lakes are available. BALD MOUNTAIN LAKE in the resort is open and beautiful. We are welcoming guests in over 60 beautiful homes to use as a "home base" for visiting nearby towns, restaurants, shops, hiking areas, and seasonal special events in Lake Lure, Hendersonville, Asheville, Black Mountain, Saluda, and Tryon. Golf is open to the public at Rumbling Bald, and local area wineries, breweries, trails, and music are within an hour's drive. Many of the Chimney Rock shops are set up at the Tryon International Equestrian Center Pavilion. Chimney Rock Park is now open!

No Pets, No Exceptions

Upon entering the home, you'll find a welcoming foyer with a half bath nearby. The spacious great room features a gorgeous mountain view, vaulted ceiling, gas log fireplace, and a deck walkout as the main attraction. The great room is a socializing haven! Stocked with frequently requested items, you will love the open kitchen with upscale appliances. On this main level lies a master bedroom with a deck walkout. This home is sure to please, from family holidays to travel opportunities with friends.

Need to get some work done? There's a desk in the loft, and the Internet works great! Two queen bedrooms share an upscale bathroom off the loft. Both rooms have mounted flat-screen TVs, and the room nearest the top of the stairs has a lovely lake and splendid mountain views. The other bedroom is spacious, bright, and light!

The lower level at The Bears Castle was designed with fun and convenience in mind! Here, you'll find a full bathroom, a laundry room, and a second kitchen complete with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and sink. This level has a bunk room to accommodate your sleeping needs: one full, one twin, and two queen beds. There is also a semi-private queen bedroom (open at ceiling level). Ready for some competition? Try out the six-person air hockey table, pool table, ping pong table, skeet ball, and pinball machine before relaxing on the wrap-around deck. The beautiful fireplace and a flat-screen TV seal the deal to make this your one-stop shop for destination "fun!".

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2025, through the first quarter of 2025 (March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.
