The Hummingbird House

Banjoe Vacations welcomes you to The Hummingbird House! This tiny house has everything you need for the perfect stay. Cook simple meals in the kitchenette, sit on the patio to enjoy a cup of coffee and take in the scenery, or cozy up on the couch after a long day of adventures! And bring the dogs (additional fee required)! They will love the lake too.

Step right into this sweet and sunny tiny cottage and feel right at ease!

The main level features a cozy couch to enjoy evening conversation. The couch pulls out into a bed if you'd like. The small kitchenette on this floor is stocked with all the basics you will need to prepare simple meals during your stay. The kitchenette includes a microwave, two stove burners, and a mini fridge. Make your way up just a handful of stairs to the upper "bedroom". While there is no bedroom door, the turn of the stairs gives this space a very private feel. The super comfortable queen bed is the perfect retreat after a long day enjoying the lake. The upper floor also has a reading nook, or you can take your book out onto the upper patio to enjoy the views! From the main level, just take a few steps down to the full bathroom.

Outside there is another patio space with outdoor seating and a gas grill. This also includes a yard space with fire pit as well as private dock access-please follow the signs. The dock includes a canoe and kayak for your use as well as a stand up paddle board.

This house is located in a quiet and beautiful cove of Lake Lure. While there are houses nearby there is enough space on each side of the property to make you feel that you are on your own slice of heaven! The town of Lake Lure is small and peaceful yet has everything you need and so much to explore! You are sure to enjoy your stay with everything Hummingbird Cottage has to offer!

If you need extra room, consider booking this together with The Cardinal Cottage with a listing called The Nest (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/852162060094149805).

**Additional note about Lake Lure:

Lake Lure is a town-funded lake that practices sporadic drawdowns. The drawdown of Lake Lure this winter will be from November 1st 2023 to the end of March 2024.

Please be aware that if you book from Nov - April, depending on what the town decides, there could possibly be little to no water in the lake. During drawdowns, all boats will be put away. However - there are plenty of other fantastic activities in the Lake Lure and Chimney Rock area during the winter season!

Guests have access to the Hummingbird Cottage and patio. This also includes a yard space with fire pit as well as private dock access - please follow the signs. The dock includes a canoe for your use.
