Southfork Cottage - Big Mountain and River Views!

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!

MOUNTAIN AND RIVER VIEWS ~ GREAT LOCATION TO HEAD IN ANY DIRECTION

Southfork Cottage is conveniently located! Have plans to go to Biltmore? Want to spend a day at Chimney Rock State Park or the beach at Lake Lure? Looking to scout out some waterfalls? Want to shop in downtown Hendersonville? Excited to eat ice cream in Black Mountain? South Fork is a great little cottage to be your landing spot. It offers a comfortable stay in a very central location. This view has been described as "...fun, beautiful, peaceful, and stimulating all simultaneously!"

Offering two bedrooms and two baths. The upstairs bedroom has a set of twin bunk beds and a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a fabulous deck. The downstairs has an open bedroom, a private bathroom, and a laundry area. The lower level and lower level deck are both slightly lower than standard ceiling heights. This small cottage was built long ago, but a recent remodel has made it very modern and simplistic. It's a stylish little property that is perfect for up to four people. There's parking for one vehicle, and from the parking area, it is approximately a 50-foot walk to the home. A modern, stylish appeal and a nice upper deck with super cool views are the main draws to this property.

For All Seasons
This home can be enjoyed throughout the year with the area's temperate climate and beauty. Springtime brings the blooming of the dogwood and redbud trees as well as the azaleas, rhododendrons, and mountain laurels. Summer brings lush greenery, and the autumn colors are extraordinary. Winters are mild, and with less tree obstruction, the views are incredible. Add the year-round sounds of the Rocky Broad River, and you have peaceful perfection!

The Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area and surrounding communities offer several entertainment and activity options. See the Amenities and Notes for just a sampling of what is available. Just pack your clothes, pick up some groceries, and then sit back, relax, and enjoy all this area and Southfork Cottage has to offer. We hope to see you soon and welcome you to be our guest!

Great Place with a Beautiful View

This place is beautiful, on a hill above a river, and the bed and cooking equipment is nice. One thing to note is that the driveway is very steep, so your car may have a tough time turning onto it.

Adorable mountain escape

An absolutely adorable little mountain escape. Very clean. Perfect views for lazy mornings with a cup of coffee. The drive is a bit intimidating but the calm cozy feel is absolutely worth it. Nobody wanted to leave.

An OK Getaway 3.5 Stars

We liked the place overall. However, it was difficult for getting from our parking spot to the cabin. Very difficult if you have bad knees. Also there basically was very few channels on the TV. Unless there was some hidden secret on how to get the TV to actually work.

Mountain getaway -very secluded.

We loved this place. However, don't depend on your phone for directions to get there or for check-in procedures. PRINT EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU GO LOL. There is no cell service starting about 20miles prior to getting there. But the views are stunning, the place is comfortable, and clean. We would definitely go again.

Acceptable

Place was acceptable and similar to what was listed. Driveway is not uncommon in the area but is a wild ride the first few times up. The house was updated but musty smelling in the basement/ lower level. The air conditioning was great in small rooms but not adequate for the larger rooms. Communication via text was never replied to other than stock information versus an actual person responding to my texts. Weird drain smells in the kitchen when using the washer downstairs! Overall it was decent but be aware of the additional costs that each property adds as this one adds a lot!

Great time!

We visited during a rainy weekend and it was exactly what our family needed to escape for a few days. The cabin was big enough for us and in a great location. Good food options, short drive to anything you'd need but far enough out to really get away. Great stay and would come here again!

Beautiful cozy cabin close to chimney Rock

Pros: We very much enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was well equipped for a rainy weekend. We did a fair amount of cooking. The porch has a lovely view of of some rocky cliffs. The interior is well decorated and has a cozy feel. The vibe is excellent for a mountain getaway, and the price is great! We would stay here again! Cons: The satellite internet barely works most of the time but our phones did end up working fairly well. I think the satellite dish needs to be replaced or repositioned. The main bed needs some maintenance (but rickety) and isn’t super comfortable. As mentioned the kitchen has most everything you’d need except a cutting board!

Beautiful views

We enjoyed the view from the porches. The house was perfect for our family of 4. All appliances worked well and we had no issues during our stay. The parking situation was tight, we have a truck and the house next door was occupied leaving our spot right at the edge of a steep drop. We enjoyed being so close to the Village and Park for Chimney Rock. We left measuring spoons/cups and a collander which were missing and we needed them for cooking meals. Would stay here again in the future.

Bat Cave

The cottage was very nice, with all of the amenities. There were two great decks for relaxing after a long day of site seeing. We were not prepared for the terrain of Bat Cave Rd, but it added a bit of adventure each time we arrived or departed the cottage. It was a great experience.

Great location for exploring the area

This cosy little cabin was perfect for myself and my friend, it was clean and tidy and had pretty much everything we needed. There was no power to the oven, only the stovetop when we were there but everything else worked. There is a steep single lane track up to the cabin which was a little scary at nighttime. It was within easy driving distance of everything we wanted to visit and chimney rock can be seen from the upper deck.
