The Cottage at Emerald Lake


A Cozy Lakefront Retreat

Tucked above the shoreline of Emerald Lake, The Cottage offers a peaceful and private getaway in Cedar Mountain, North Carolina. This two-bedroom & two-bath retreat is perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking to relax in a secluded mountain setting.

With a glass-enclosed sun porch overlooking the lake, guests can wake up to serene water views and spend their evenings watching the sunset in total tranquility. Rent the entire property for a group retreat and enjoy The Cottage as part of a full-property  or individual rental experience.

Relax by the Lake or Explore the Outdoors

The Perfect Addition to a Full-Property Rental
