  We rented this cabin to enjoy our winter break away from home. We celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with extended family and there was plenty of room and beds for everyone. It was clean and well kept. My two year old and four year old didn't allow for the promised peace and quiet but my husband and I did enjoy the quiet when they were asleep. When they were asleep, we saw plenty of deer and wild turkeys. Chimney Rock is super close and Lake Lure is about a mile or two down the road. There are plenty of trails nearby to enjoy.

  This log cabin is exactly as pictured. We had a wedding to attend at the Lake Lure Inn and this was the perfect place for our family to stay. We were all together. It sure beats staying in separate hotel rooms. The cabin was very clean and the owner was very helpful addressing all our questions and concerns. The nature walk in Riverbend was wonderful. This nature walk and beach are on the other side of the main street. Your key card will allow you access to that area of Riverbend. The lake was so calm and peaceful. I would have loved to canoe there but we ran out of time. I would recommend the boat tour of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock.

  Fabulous week in the mountains. The cabin was very comfortable. Great Location - close to Ingles, Larkins & Huckleberries (great food), Lake Adventures (pontoon rental). Enjoyed daily walks in the secluded neighborhood and visiting the swimming hole. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure just a short distance away. Will check out the zipline nearby on our next visit. I would recommend this property to friends. Cabin deserves 5 stars but the dishwasher was not working on our visit.

  We stayed here for a week and it was wonderful! The cabin was just as it was pictured and very comfortable. It is about a 15 minute drive to Lake Lure. We highly recommend the boat tour of the lake. Chimney Rock and Grandfather Mountain are also nearby and worth the trip. We also saw The Biltmore which was a short 45minute drive to Asheville. The cabin is in a great location for all sorts of outdoor activities. Our family would definitely stay here again and would recommend it for anyone wanting a truly relaxing vacation.

  The cabin was beautiful, clean and so peaceful. A perfect place to enjoy the night sky - so many stars could be seen from the deck! An unexpected bonus was the amazingly abundant mountain laurel in full bloom! I enjoyed my morning coffee on the deck listening to the birds! We had dinner several times at Larkin's on the Lake of "Dirty Dancing" fame. Such a relaxing weekend. Thank you so much!

  The cabin was beautiful, well-furnished, roomy and extremely comfortable! I have visited this particular cabin twice, and both times have been extremely pleased with my stay! The satellite and wireless internet work wonderfully, the jet tub is a major plus, and while enjoying our stay, we even had the pleasure of seeing some snow falling outside. The landscape is picturesque and just what one would hope to find while enjoying a stay in the mountains! I would definitely rate my stay as being an excellent and unforgettable experience and would recommend this cabin to everyone looking for a relaxing weekend! The owners are friendly and very accomodating!

  Our weekend getaway was every bit of the experience I had hoped it would be. We stayed here one other time last year as well and both times...definitely pleased. The cabin was beautiful and the neighbors were very friendly. Everything is so quiet and peaceful and the trails throughout Riverbend were great. The last time we stayed we went fishing at the lake which had an area for our children to play as well as grill setups and good fishing all in the same area which was convenient. It was too cold this time but nothing beats a cabin in the mountains in the cold!!! (we actually timed it just right to see some blowing snow and being from SC we dont see much of..this was cool) The satellite and wireless internet both worked great and the tv's in all the rooms were a crowd pleaser. Extremely satisfied and will definitely be staying again!!!! 6 out of 5 stars

  We stayed here over the New Year's weekend. This house is advertised as having 3 Queen beds, and 3 twin beds, and that is what my family needed. However, upon arrival, we found only 2 queen beds, and 3 twin beds. We wound up having to use a blow up mattress so everyone would have a bed. Also, most of the ligths had bulbs missing, the gas logs were out of gas and there was a water leak above the kitchen table. We think it came from the upstairs half bath. The linens were clean, but not enough for a family of 10. The house was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay in the Lake Lure area. We just feel the advertising is misleading.

  Owner response: We have enjoyed all great reviews on our home from our guest , some in writing , some with a call or e-mail , and many leave a card on the table with kind words..We are addressing the ONE "not so great review" regarding a recent week-end stay, envolving an apparent party of ten...for the week-end.Of 13 reviews listed all are 5 star except for this one. The complaint about not having 3 queens: Our action taken was that we changed the number of queen beds listed to two , even though we have a sleeper sofa that is a Queen , we will not count that one...The leak , mentioned , has been addressed by our plumber...and the light bulbs that were burned out (4) have been replaced and extras left in the laundry...We also are changing our capacity for guest to "Sleeps Eight"....That way , if more than eight shows , they realize the couch , or sleeper sofa , must be utilized....The gas has been filled , and is and has always been on "auto fill with the gas company.."I am very sorry these guest was inconvienenced in any way..To clarify , we have 4 bedrooms.Two have queen beds. One has one twin bed , and one has two twins...If a party is staying a week or more, we can substite another queen for the two twins in that bedroom. Thank You, and know that you can call me , the owner , directly , at the number listed on VRBO..

  We truly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin. Everything was clean and comfortable and there was plenty of room for family to visit for Thanksgiving. There is a great grocery store within just a few miles which was very convenient. This was our first visit to the area and we were impressed with the beautiful scenery. Enjoyed day trips to Asheville, Hendersonville, and Black Mountain, with amazing views along the drive. Loved the local craft shops and galleries and the many very warm, friendly shopkeepers! Of course we couldn't leave without climbing nearby Chimney Rock and hiking a bit... the many steps were a challenge, but well worth the effort ( and bragging rights) Marshall and Lori Jill were wonderful to rent from, very gracious and easygoing, we felt comfortable just giving them a call with any questions. Hope we have the opportunity to rent here again soon!

  This home is beautiful and very well taken care of. We had a very relaxing and restful time. We enjoyed fishing.There is really nothing to do here,but fish and relax, which was fine with us.We seen 1 deer in our back yard and 3 more on the road leading to our house.The house is very roomy and the owner was really good to deal with.Check out a restaurant in rutherfordton,its a 20 minute drive,its Scoggins Seafood & Steaks. It's worth the drive.I would definetly recommend this home.
