Welcome to Casa di Cresta! Imagine yourself in this cozy, elegant, and pristine cottage nestled in the heart of Lake Lure. Here, in our tranquil, hilly neighborhood, you'll find the perfect blend of comfort, seclusion, and easy access to year-round activities.
Whether you're unwinding on the screened-in porch or deck, cozying up by the fire pit, or indulging in a puzzle by the dining room picture windows, breathtaking views await you throughout the seasons.
We can't wait to host your getaway!
We are thrilled to reopen our cottage following Tropical Storm Helene! Whether you're looking for short, mid, or long-term accommodations, we're here to welcome you. If you need housing while your home is being repaired, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would also be honored to host those visiting to support local tourism or those assisting with rebuilding efforts.
Casa di Cresta, Italian for "Ridge House", reflects your host's Italian roots and the home's hilly setting.
