We want to welcome you to our place where you slow down your pace and enjoy nature in a peaceful setting. You can sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of coffee or take a swim in one of two private lakes,or walk along a trail within the community.
There are picnic areas with tables and charcoal grills that you may enjoy with waterfalls and trout streams just a few feet away. Breathe the clean mountain air, smell the sweet smoke from the chimneys and camp fires, Ahh yes. Deer and Wild Turkey live in harmony within our secluded community.

Dear Irene & Nick: I know this letter is long over-due but I have to send it anyway and let you know how much my husband Bob & I enjoyed our stay at Rabbits Retreat. As I think you know, our dear friends live in Connecticut and we live in Florida and we decided to meet in the middle for vacation. Well we all met at Rabbits Retreat and had a fabulous time. It was even better than I had imagined. Not only was the cabin perfect in size, but the balcony,WOW! we spent most of our time when not touring Lake Lure and surrounding sights on the balcony. We not only had coffee, but we ate our dinner on the balcony. What a nice view of the mountain top and all the birds in the trees. It was beautiful and so peaceful. We ventured down to the lake and hiked thru Riverbend. As you know we went at Thanksgiving time and the weather was so cool and crisp it made hiking just perfect. The cabin & fireplace were cozy and clean. Irene, Nick, we can't thank you enough for our "Perfect" vacation. I can't wait to visit Rabbits Retreat again. Thank you so very much for everything and for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. Our very best wishes to you both for success in your rental experiences at Lake Lure.
