Thank you so much for pointing out the cleanliness and beauty of Mirror Lake. The general public seems to think that the entire area around Lake Lure was devastated following the hurricane but Riverbend is lovely!

Beautiful mountain retreat

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin in the mountains. He had no problem getting around the cabin in his wheelchair. The cabin and lake were a peaceful and comfortable stay.

Relax at the Lake

We really enjoyed our time away at the cabin. My idea if vacation is peace and relaxation without crowds and thats just what we found here! The AC at the cabin works great! Love the mountain view from the kitchen sink and master bath!

Great views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views were as good as advertised. Location is excellent. It’s in a gated community with a lake, small beach, and short hiking trails to a waterfall and river. The only shortcoming is that the third bedroom is not quite a full “bedroom”Has all of the basic kitchenware.

Quiet Getaway

We enjoyed our stay and found the cabin roomy enough for our needs. The kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed cooking meals with family. Loved the convenient lake access and used the canoe several times! Suzie was quick to respond to our questions and made the check-in process very convenient!

Great Getaway

This is a really nice place to getaway. It was just the 2 of us in this very spacious cabin. Coffee on the deck in the morning was amazing. Don't fret over the "offroad" experience to get to the cabin. It's well worth the trouble.

Glad to be Back

My husband and I stayed at this property a little over a year ago, and decided to return for a few days to get away from the hustle and bustle at home. The place is truly gorgeous...well furnished and stocked with all the essentials. The two screened porches are a BIG asset in mosquito territory, and the gas fireplaces are just right for those cool mornings and evenings. A great quiet place for couples, but also big enough for the whole family. Had a great time!

Family trip

This property was awesome we loved to log cabin and all its charm. We loved enjoying the screened porches and the fire places. Was a great way to spend some quality time with our family. Didn’t even turn the TV on the whole weekend. Susie was a great host and we would totally come back again.

Riverbend -Whataview

This is one of the nicest cabins we have ever stayed in near lake Lure. Most cabins do not have the ambience and decorative touches that makes 329 Chipmunk many steps above the rest. Between the view, the cabin decor, and the owner's concern about our comfort makes this a cabin we wil surely return to,

Kitchen appliances need upgrade

House was beautifully decorated, loved the screen in decks, the the downside was the water was great if you enjoy cold showers, a Keurig coffee maker would've been nice , some sort of shading the glass doors facing lake would've been nice other than that , the family had a nice time

I sure wish you would have contacted me because there is a Keurig coffee maker in the cabinet. Also, I could have helped you with the hot water situation.

Could be so pretty

The view is great, the overall filth of the cabin was pretty intolerable. The ancient mattresses were very uncomfortable. A thorough cleaning and updated mattresses would do a world of good.

Lovely cabin with beautiful view and lake access.

Location and subdivision were awesome. Views were pretty, lake access was awesome for the kids. We ran out of toilet paper and dishwasher tabs as there were not enough supplied. We were disappointed when we read at check in that we needed to wash and fold the towels and linens upon checkout as well. We were assessed a cleaning fee. Overall, we had a great experience and would come again, just prepared!

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 16, 2021
I’m glad you had a nice day and will be coming again. Sorry there were not enough supplies for a two night stay for your party of four. The cleaners only stock enough for you to get started on your vacation. I do supply a large quantity of beach towels for my guests so that they don’t have to bring their own. The only thing I ask of the guests is that they launder these beach towels as there is not enough time to wash and dry all of the bathroom towels and bed linens along with a dozen or more beach towels during a turnover clean.
