No. The Lake Lure Cedar House is on private lake front land and not contained in the resort. When booked, our amenities are completely private and not shared with any guests outside of your own party.

Unfortunately, our home is not ADA or well suited for those with mobility challenges. Our property is nearly three acres and mountain-side. Stairs are required to get from the parking areas to the main living area of the home and the boathouse/docks.

Our property is nearly three acres and truly lake front. It offers the unique experience of wide open views from the main home and a boathouse in a private secluded cove.
