Something Old

Historic Cabins on Beautiful Lake Lure!

Located on the grounds of the old inn at Pine Gables we have two simple and rustic log cabins built along the banks of Lake Lure, and three wood frame cabins.  Our property, Pine Gables Historic District, is listed on the National Historic Registry. These historic cabins offer unique lodging for the adventuresome traveler, as did the old inn when it was a stagecoach stop in the 1800's. 

Explore beautiful Lake Lure in a canoe while staying in one of these charmingly rustic, historic cabins. All our historic cabins are pet friendly.

Wandering Bears Cabin

One of Three rental cabins that is not a log cabin, the 'Wandering Bear' Cabin has one bedroom and one bath, a full kitchen and a large living room. It is very comfortable for two people. The front porch is furnished for dining and relaxing, and is enclosed for your privacy. This cabin has a washer and dryer. The 'Wandering Bears' Cabin is pet friendly. This cabin was originally built in the early 1940's to house the camp counselors when camp "Tally-Ho!" was on the property . The owners love bears (real and plush) and love to travel, so the name is for everyone that shares our passion for both.

Maximum occupancy is two.

Each cabin is simply but fully furnished with most everything needed for a couples getaway or a family vacation.  They can be rented separately since they are far enough apart to ensure privacy, but are within walking distance of each other making them also perfect for a family gathering. 

There are picnic tables and an outdoor charcoal grill nearby for guests to enjoy and ample room for children to play.  It is a short walk from each cabin down to the pristine waters of Lake Lure where you can wade, swim and fish off the shared dock or explore the waters of Lake Lure in a canoe with the beauty of these majestic mountains rising all around you. 

Note:  A North Carolina fishing license is needed when fishing off the dock on Lake Lure.
