INTERNET | FIREPLACE | ROMANTIC | RIVERBEND AMENITIES | WOODED AREA | STREAM

Gillford Cottage is a lovely two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-level log cabin situated along a creek in a wooded area inside the Riverbend at Lake Lure community.

The cabin features a fabulous screened porch with a table & chairs for outdoor dining, a nice gas grill, and... it directly overlooks the creek that runs into the Broad River. The sight and sound of the water are enchanting!

You will enter the great room, which consists of a fully equipped kitchen, a dishwasher, a dining area with seating for six, and a comfy living room with a gas fireplace & flat-screen TV.

The Master Bedroom has a king bed with a flat-screen TV & a full Master Bath with a tub/shower combo. The guest bedroom also has a Queen bed & a smaller flat-screen TV & the guest bathroom is also a full bath with a tub/shower combo.

"Riverbend at Lake Lure" is a private gated community offering two private lakes (Big Mirror Lake & Little Mirror Lake) that allow for canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats, private access to the Broad River, picnic areas, gazebos, pavilions, hiking trails, beach area, swimming, fishing, and BBQ grills for your enjoyment. There’s an “Old Swimming Hole” along the river and a lovely Nature Walk where you can picnic and enjoy the community waterfall.

Outside the gates of Riverbend Development, you’re only 6 miles from downtown Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village, where you’ll enjoy beautiful sights as well as numerous dining and shopping options!

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2024, through the first quarter of 2024(March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

Short but Sweet
This is a beautiful cottage and we wished we could have stayed longer than 2 nights. We had planned to spend most of our time hiking, but lots of rain kept us inside more during our stay. We had a nice time relaxing & playing board games. The screened porch would be a great place to do that if it were a little warmer. I'm sure it would be wonderful during the summer. We did have a power outage our last night there, but it was close to bedtime anyway. The power was back on by 5:00 am. The only negative was taking out the trash. There wasn't an outside receptacle for the trash so we had to take it with us. It would have been nice to know someplace nearby where we could get rid of it. But overall, we would be happy to stay there again.

Very clean and cozy
Property was clean and ready for us. Enjoyed the screened in porch area. We would have liked a fire pit area if you’re thinking of changing things in the future. Also spices and cooking spray supplies would be great. Overall though very nice enjoyable stay!
