What a wonderful time we had! I'm a passionate scrapbooker and decided that some friends and I should escape to do a scrapbooking retreat. I found this wonderful home and fell in love with it! It had plenty of space for us to have our own rooms. A huge table for us to scrap and additional table top for all our supplies... When I saw the great game room below I thought my teen girls would probably love their own mini vacation with some of their friends. There was a total of 4 ladies and 4 teens. We hardly heard a peep from the kids! They were too busy hanging out below, in the hot tub and exploring the grounds with it's winding creek and mini waterfall... The community also has a lake and private rapids which made for some fabulous pictures that I can't wait to scrapbook! The wrap around porch with it's many rocking chairs was a peaceful outing to watch all the hummingbirds fly around it. The kids also enjoyed the fire pit that allowed us to build a pretty nice size fire.... the smores were yummy!! They even provide boots in different sizes to go and explore the creek so you would not get dirty or wet! On our way home we decided to visit Chimney Rock which was only 15min away... it was a sight to see. I can't wait to come back! The next time, it will be for more then 3nights!! :) Thanks for everything! Marcy, Andrea, Leila, Susan, Victoria, Travis, Tiffany and Keili from Orange Park Florida.

We just completed our stay at Redbird Retreat - three families with children ranging from 3-16 and EVERYBODY had a great time! The cabin is MUCH better than advertised - it is clean, well appointed and comfortable. The bedrooms are very spacious and separated one on each floor. The play areas, loft and (large) dining table provide adequate space for larger families, playing board games and lots of pleasant space to just "hang out". The wrap around porches, hot tub and play room were favorites for the kids AND adults....we've been coming to this area for 7+ years renting cabins and Redbird, by far and away, is THE best we've visitied. The (flat screen) TVs are nice and new, the (old school) board games and puzzles provided were a welcomed respite from all of the new electronic gadgets. It is secluded, peaceful and tranquil - not another cabin in sight!

Our visit to Lake Lure and our stay at Redbird Retreat exceeded our expectations of what it would be like to rent a cabin in the woods of North Carolina. The cabin was spacious, but yet had a cozy warm atmosphere. It was even more georgeous than the online pictures reflected. We started our day with coffee, sitting in a rocking chair on the deck in the peaceful surroundings of the woods and nature. The hot tub was the perfect end after our daily adventures, We spent one day at Chimney Rock which was breath taking with the fall foliage during peak season. Another highlight on our trip was a boat tour around Lake Lure at sunset. If you visit, the food at the Point of View restaraunt was great. Todd and Karen are great hosts and we never had an issue with getting in touch with them to answer any questions that we had. I would recommend this cabin to anyone who is looking for a great vacation place. We will be returning some time in the future to have a small family reunion and take advantage of a summer fun filled adventure. There is so much to do in the summer that there is something for everyone.

Great Time at Red Bird Retreat!

Review Submitted: 10/25/11
Just returned back from RedBird and had a great time. We enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit, and the nice charcoal grill that was located right off the kitchen. The porch was awesome and it was very nice that part of it was gated so we could let our dogs sit outside with us. The bed upstairs was so comfortable and the fireplace in the den was really nice and heated up the space quickly. There were nice touches throughout the property including the boots outside in case we wanted to explore, books throughout the house for reading, and DVDs for movie watching. We stayed pretty busy this time because we were married at Lake Lure and had alot of planning and family things to take care of. Next time, we are coming to lay around, read, and sit in front of the fireplace. Hope to come back. We loved it! The only recommendation I would make is to try to arrive during day light hours. It is easy to get turned around once in Riverbend. But keep your eyes open once your in there, my husband saw multiple deer and wild turkeys!

I have rented many places for my family in my lifetime. I have to say that the Redbird Retreat is our favorite! Everything that a family could possibly need or want was at our fingertips. No detail was left out. The kitchen was furnished far better than any rental I've ever been in. I took some pans and pot just in case, but was pleasantly surprised to find I didn't need them. The wonderful wrap-around porch is great. You can sit there and listen to the birds, crickets and other nature sounds and it is so peaceful. I had just been through a difficult time with my elderly Mother having a heart attack. This was my place of comfort. We also hiked and toured the local apple orchards. The last thing my grandson said before we left was, "Nana we ARE coming back here again, aren't we?" I assured him it was definitely a "keeper" and that we would come again. The owners kept us very informed and made everything so easy. We loved it! The Hunts (Winston-Salem & Wilmington, NC)

Great Place for a family vacation

Review Submitted: 08/15/11
This was a great place for a family vacation. The area offers something for everyone. Our group of adventure seekers enjoyed the hot tub after days of whitewater kayaking, zip lining, hiking, rock climbing and swimming in waterfalls. Though our group was small, this would be a great place for a family reunion as the multileveled house afforded privacy as well as places to gather together. In attention to all the area had to offer, we enjoyed time rocking on the porch watching the humminbirds, cardinals, indigo buntings and chickadees.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Rebird Retreat. The house was beautiful and spacious, everyone had their own space, but still could come together to spend time. It was peaceful and relaxing, no hustle and bustle, just nature around you (course the hot tub didn't hurt either). It did rain for a good bit of the 1st half of the week, but it didn't much matter, there was plenty to do there. An absolute must see is Chimney Rock and Chimney Rock Village for shopping, they have great antique stores. If my family and I return to the area, I will definitely be looking to stay here again.

This was our second stay at Redbird Retreat and once again we had a fabulous time. The cabin is in a great location and you can do as little or as much as you want to. This trip we spent the afternoon playing bocce ball down by the lake, built a fire to enjoy smores each night, and even put on the boots to venture through the stream. Careful though, it can be slippery on the way down right after it rains! The best part about Redbird Retreat are the owners. It is obvious that they care about your stay while in their home. I am positive this will not be our last stay at Redbird Retreat!

The location and privacy of this property makes it a wonderful place to escape to. 3 levels of floorspace give each family a great deal of privacy and the wrap around porch gives you plenty of outdoor living space to enjoy! Chimney Rock and Lake Lure were minutes away and make a great day trip.

Our party of two couples meet every year to vaction together and we found your property online. Your photos matched perfectly what we found, but actually what we found exceeded our expecations in terms of details! It was just like being in our own homes! The beds were very comfy, we had everything we needed to cook in the kitchen. Everything was clean and in excellent order. We enjoyed satellite TV, the DVD player, the CD boombox, and the Wifi. We got immediate response to our emails and phone calls in answer to questions. Your recommendations were A#1 for restaurants: Point of View was great fine dining!!! And ice cream at the Hershey's place. Highly recommend Rumbling Bald for a massage (what gals had when guys golfed). Don't miss Chimney Rock and a pontoon boat ride on Lake Lure. The rockers were the best and so many of them! Enjoyed revisiting the Biltmore and lunch next the their winery. GREAT grocery at Ingles; they have Everything. . use the loyalty card on the fridge! Very quiet and serene and we would HIGHLY recommend this cabin, which is SO roomy! Don't forget the camera!!
