Additional acreage was acquired over the next several years to bring the total to 8,000 acres. Dr. Morse conceived the idea of building a dam on the Rocky Broad River to create a lake and a year-round resort. The dam was completed in September 1926, forming the lake which was named Lake Lure by Dr. Morse’s wife, Elizabeth Parkenson. The Town of Lake Lure was incorporated in 1927.

Description:Before you start to read the description of our home-due to a family emergency, I had to cancel a one night rental with one person three days in advance. When I called to explain, he seemed to be very understanding and I suggested other places that were comparable in price. I also assured him I would reimburse him if there was a glitch with airbnb. He seemed to be very understanding, however, proceeded to give a bad review without explanation. We have been renting our cabin for several years with another company and have only gotten top reviews. I just felt I should explain this review. Warm and cozy--this charming and very clean home is a delightful escape from the tyranny of the urgent. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Peaceful Creek Cottage is situated by a roaring creek that promises to lull you to sleep and whisk your stress away. Our home is comfortable and inviting. We think you will be completely satisfied with the decor. We have decorated it with special touches that create a homey and lovely environment. We have two bedrooms-both have a queen size bed. In addition, our loft has two twin beds...a special favorite for children. Adults have slept there (including us!), but the loft is not quite tall enough for a full size adult to stand. It is perfect, however, for children and teenagers. And agile adults! Hardwood floors are through out the house except in the bedrooms, which are carpeted. There is one full bath and a bathroom in the master bedroom. This home is located behind Twin Brook Resort, and is in a neighborhood that is almost exclusively seasonal homes. It is very, very quiet and peaceful. You can see all of the amenities that are included to assure this home will provide every thing that you could possibly need. We have included board games, a wonderful DVD library, firewood for a cozy evening by the fire...and even marshmallow roasters! We understand that some need to smoke--we just ask that you puff outside and not inside. We also love and appreciate pets. And so they are welcome, with a refundable pet fee. We do ask that you would take them with you when you are leaving the house, or that you would crate them. We know that you will understand. We provide all the information you would need for nearby activities including all of the hiking trails and waterfalls. You will be located only minutes away from such popular attractions as the Biltmore House and Gardens, Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherokee Indian Reservation, numerous championship golf courses, horseback riding, whitewater rafting...and much more. Are you an antique lover? You will be able to shop to your heart's content! Take a ride on the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad and visit the National Park. View the elk at Cataloochee Valley or ski there during the winter. We really do have excellent dining in Maggie Valley, Waynesville and nearby Asheville. You will not be disappointed in the cuisine. And Dolly Parton is our next door neighbor! Dollywood is very conveniently located to Maggie Valley. Come for a few days...we feel sure you will want to return.... more info >>
