Great Family Vacation

The house was just as described, perfect for our party of 11, and one fur baby. Nice cool AC, short walk to lake for swimming, and the boys loved the canoes and fishing!We had an issue with the internet and TV on the 2nd day and owner took care of it promptly with no further problems. Well stocked, and comfy.

Not as expected

Overall the cabin was ok. Beautiful living room area and fireplace for the whole family to gather. There were large cobwebs in the living room area high cielings. Its advertised as 5 bedroom for 12 guests however only 4 bedrooms with a loft and even though there were only 10 guests we were charged an extra person fee with no real clear explanation why. The outside grounds are not well kept and not inviting to spend any time outdoors other than the deck areas. The upstairs bathroom is only a tub, no shower and no stopper to be able to even fill the tub. Showers were backing up and slow to drain and toilets slow to flush and drain. The free night included was a plus. The area is probably better enjoyed during the warmer months and once the Chimney Rock area and roads reopen. There is nothing to do with most places being closed.

Harpers Adventure

Its a beautiful cabin in a very nice ...quiet and private location. It could use a bit of updating....but was very comfortable We planned this family vacation around our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter who loves the outdoors....she enjoyed the Riverbend watering hole...very close to the house but take your car if you have a little one or grandparents who cannot walk a very steep hill! We found lots of adventures....but the Lake Lure beach was not open ....except for weekends....disappointing....and the Train museum is closed...

Best rental

We have stayed at many rentals in the mountains and most have been great but little cleaning issues here and there. This cabin was by the the cleanest place we have ever stayed. We were all amazed that even the high and hard to reach area that you can see from the loft were even dusted. Outside furniture was cleaned off and ready to sit in. Liz was a great host. Very response and extremely nice. We asked for paddles and lifejackets to use their boats in the lake and within minutes they had them to our cabin. We will be renting from her again. The Riverbend community was a great location for our family with so much outdoor stuff to do and keep the kids entertained. Highly recommend renting this unit or one of her other 7 cabins.

Nice Getaway

The property was nice and the location was convenient to Lake Lure. Cabin was well equipped and offered what you needed to make your stay pleasant. The check in process at the gate upon arrival is a little difficult but once you're in, you have access to key cards making coming and going easier. The cabin could use a good cleaning to remove some dust and cobwebs that collect over time. Overall, a nice place, wonderful location.

Beautiful Lake Retreat

Simply wonderful. The cabin was everything we thought: plenty of room for our group of seven, gorgeous views, peaceful neighborhood, lots of activities and hiking areas within close distance. We traveled with two boys (12 and 10), and they found plenty of activities within walking distance of the cabin to keep them entertained the whole week. I’m hoping to return to this lovely cabin again next winter!

Fall stay at Chipmunk Trail

The hike was great, plenty of space to spread out. Good for a large group. The decks & fireplace are a plus. The creek on the property was dry during our visit, but I’m sure it’s nice when full. The bathroom on the upstairs loft is dated and has a huge tub so we had share the downstairs shower but if you had a large group I could see how that would be inconvenient. Overall it was a great stay, just as described.

Family vacation

The property was the perfect size for us. There were nine adults (4 couples) and one 11 year old. It was close to most things we wanted to do ( whitewater rafting, UTV, ziplining). There were plenty of linens and kitchen supplies. It was a great cozy place to unwind after the days adventures.

Family Reunion

This is a beautiful house in a great location. We had a very nice weekend! However, when they call this a 5 bedroom house that is a bit of a stretch. The master bedroom and bedroom #5 are actually part of the same room and located in the loft. So both of these rooms are open to the living room below. We were also disappointed in the lack of soap in the kitchen and the bathrooms. We were asked to load and start the dishwasher but there was no soap provided. The owner did not answer the phone on the first night when my cousin needed to be buzzed in the gate. After six attempts she called us and we drove down to help her. The queen matress in the basement is the worst mattress I have ever slept on. It needs replaced. And, I guess my last issue would be the response of the owner when the power was out for 7 hours on Saturday evening. We had no power or water for 7 hours because a tree fell and knocked down a power line. In most cases a hotel would usually do their best to help guests who were inconvenienced. We had no power or toilets for 7 hours with 9 people! When we called to check on things we were told Duke energy was diligently working, there were no candles in the home, and that we could drive to Ingles to get some at our own expense. This would have been somewhat understandable until I found out that the owner was at another house in the neighborhood. I think she should have helped us! Still a great time but expected a bit more from the owners. Thanks
