Welcome to Footbridge Falls.

Imagine sitting by a FIRE PIT and moss garden on a stone patio with a STREAM running by.  Enjoy sounds of the small waterfall, and views of running water from rocking chairs on the front porch.  Make this 4 BEDROOM, 2.5 BATHROOM beautiful cabin in Lake Lure NC your home away from home.  In a private wooded setting, “Footbridge Falls” has everything you could ask for and is the perfect Lake Lure vacation rental cabin for your next mountain getaway.  Immediately upon arrival, you will be mesmerized with the tranquil WOODED SETTING, laurel, and rhododendron.  There’s an expansive level yard for exploring, and even a footbridge or three over the stream.

There’s plenty of parking in the flat level gravel driveway.  Unloading your cars is a breeze, along the level entry with only one step to the front door.  Once inside, the spacious main level is open and inviting, with soaring vaulted ceilings and unique architectural angles.  The massive log mantel is flanked on each side by windows and a door to the covered porch with locust railings, connecting the best of indoor and outdoor living.  Wide plank pine wood floors, leather furniture, tasteful décor, wood accents, ceiling fans, flat screen TV, and recessed lighting make this an impressive living space.

The well-equipped kitchen is ideal for preparing vacation meals.  Enjoy wrap around granite countertops, birch cabinets galore, gas oven & stove, microwave, dishwasher, side-by-side refrigerator freezer, drip coffee maker, blender, toaster oven, and more.  There is a raised breakfast bar for casual dining or just good conversation.  Steps away is a formal dining area with seating for 6 at the table.  You may prefer to sit outside and eat by the GAS BARBEQUE overlooking the stream.  If you need to work away from home, there is a roll top desk by the dining room table.

Choose from four bedrooms.  The large main level Master Suite has an impressive and comfortable king size wood carved sleigh bed.  A private ensuite bathroom has large vanity, jet tub, shower, and tile floors.  There are two main level guest rooms, one with a king bed and the other with a full bed.  Both guest rooms have closets.  A full guest bathroom and laundry room with washer and dryer complete the main level.

The upstairs loft is a huge living area with full size POOL TABLE and seating area complete with sofa, side chairs, and flat screen TV.  Sit by the small gas fireplace, or at the high-top table to watch all the action.  Off the upstairs living area is a third guest room with two twin size beds, and a half bathroom.

You won’t want to leave the setting of this amazing home.  If you do, this gated community offers two small private lakes, sandy swimming beach, river access with gazebo, and walking trails.  You are just a ten minute drive to downtown Lake Lure, Chimney Rock Village, and Chimney Rock State Park.  This spectacular home definitely has the very best of what Lake Lure has to offer.
