The cabin was lovely, appears to be a new build. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The development is very nice and it's close to groceries, gas and restaurants. Lake Lure is a work in progress but the area is still beautiful. We would highly recommend this cabin.

Great place!

One son and I had a great "meet up" and hung out together for 3 days and nights. I always go up to Lake Lure to "get away" from the flat lands and the crap that goes with them. Since I was raised in the High Sierra, Lake Lure is the nearest thing I can get to "home".

Exceptional !

This was our first time using this type of service so we were nervous. This cabin is beautiful and was so clean and well maintained. It will exceed expectations! If I had to suggest one thing it would be to upgrade the living area furniture with a cozy deep sectional and larger mounted TV. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

Perfect house

We came for a wedding and everyone was staying close to the venue, but we wanted to be away and get some peace and quiet. This is the perfect house just relax and know that you are in a beautiful cabin with all of the newness and cleanliness offered. We just loved our house. Thank you

peaceful retreat

We enjoyed our stay, but we were a bit frustrated with some of the limitation of this rental. The can opener was missing. We wanted to sweep the porch but there was not a broom available. The furniture did not fit the space, and the dining table was very small and flimsy. We did enjoy the outdoor table and umbrella! The lighting was too bright or the lamps were too dim. Don't mean to complain and we did enjoy our retreat. The cabin just felt like a rental rental property and not a comfortable home. Impossible to find at night without GPS due to dark roads. Enjoyed the Riverbank peaceful waterfall, hiking and lake! Thank you!

Quiet and comfortable log cabin in private gated community

We loved our stay! Great 2 bedroom log cabin in very quiet area. We loved the private lake. We brought our own kayaks. The deck was a great place to relax. We appreciated the washer and dryer. The pantry was great in the kitchen and kitchen was well equipped. We will stay again. Thanks!
