The space
Your Camp Suite has been a cherished part of summer camp traditions since the 1930s. Today, the Camp Suites have been thoughtfully updated and modernized to meet the needs of contemporary living, while still preserving their nostalgic charm. Owner Todd Leoni, once a camper himself, fell in love with this special place as a child. When the opportunity arose, he purchased the lake and the surrounding property to preserve the memories he and so many others had made here. Now, he invites you to create your own unforgettable memories in a place that has brought joy to generations.
Guest access
There is a parking lot behind the camp suites. No assigned spots, so park where you like. If no parking spots are available you can park in front on the driveway. Just allow for a car to get by. The fire pit, hammock, corn hole, gas grills, picnic tables and seating in the common area is shared with other guests. The dock and water toys are also shared and are available April 1-Oct 31. Fishing is allowed. License required.
Other details
The Camp suites are all attached so you may hear your neighbors in the room next door. Not all floors are level and not all flooring matches. The kitchenette is part of the open plan room and has a plug in 2 plate burner, microwave, under counter fridge, coffee pot and toaster. The only door that closes off is to the bathroom. Most lights and fans are on a pull chain. The cabins are rustic with the original wood and fixtures. “Feels like camp” is our motto so come with camp-like expectations!!

This is the perfect place if you are looking for a nostalgic cabin like it used to be around the mountains. Peaceful, quiet, beautiful lake right at your doorstep. And its super close to town. Lots of restaurants, music, bars, arts, etc. It’s just as pictured and it’s not for you if you like a fancy luxury setting. But it is for you if you love the outdoors and a peaceful, family atmosphere with all the comforts. You really won't be needing anything else! We loved it and want to Come back!!

We have been here many times and will continue too. When we aren't out and about we really enjoy sitting on the deck and just chill. The scenery is very pleasant and we love it there.

I have been coming back to Leoni's Mountain Lake Cottages for many years now. Each experience is amazing! I have planned 2 wonderful family reunions, as well as brought friends and loved ones to the lake. We love to relax, with views of Lake Osceola, enjoying kayaking, paddleboards, canoe, floats, grilling, and fireside smores. The location is just down the road from downtown Hendersonville, with lots of cute shops/cafes. Close proximity to waterfall hikes, breweries, live music, historic homes, views...really something for everyone! And don't get me started on the lovely Leoni family and Michele, the property manager and her husband Alan. All top-quality people, so hospitable and welcoming. It is like home away from home, BUT BETTER!!! Loved every minute and can't wait to return. :) - Fondly, Julie Halpern

We had a family reunion at Leoni's Mountain Lake Cottages last weekend. We took 5 of the 11 camp suites. We had a fantastic time on the lake and around the fire pit making s'mores. The kids were all happy as were the adults. The accommodations were quaint - made us feel like we were all back at sleepaway camp albeit with kitchens. We will definitely be returning soon!

Well this is our nostalgic trip back to 1981, The Savages Camp Mountain Lake. We met here, we fell in love with each other and the place. Happy memories of the children, the counselors, the lake and the fun we had. Thanks Todd Leoni for keeping our memories alive!

The is so much nostalgia in the air here with camp days gone by. We have stayed here twice and hope to try more Camp Suites. There was a double rainbow over the lake. We met a man here named bruce who came back here to relive memories of being a ski instructor in 1986. He had so many stories.

This was our second trip to the lake, and we will definitely be back again! Our favorite outing is to DuPont State Forest. A "hidden gem" is FishstopAccess outside Saluda if you don't mind curvy roads!!!

This was our second stay at this wonderful little place. We love the atmosphere here, and the town of Hendersonville is just ADORABLE! The best part about this place is that it takes you back to a simpler time, and reminds us to just slow down and smell the roses. This is and will continue to be a yearly retreat for us. Don't forget to slow down and enjoy your life and family. We only get one go at this life...so enjoy!

Mountain Lake Cottages
The owner of Osceola Lake, Todd Leoni, went to camp as a boy and loved the experience so much that he dreamed of owning it some day. Well, dreams do come true. In 1990, Todd purchased the 32 acre lake and in 2006 the Mountain Lake Inn with eleven camp suites surrounding the property. Every year, Todd enjoys the Mountain Lake Inn as his summer retreat with his family.
