Wonderful stay

Beautiful location, close to Chimney Rock and right on main street so close to shops and restaurants. Apartment was very clean and cozy. Our 2 daughters stayed with us and they too were very impressed. Beds were so comfy and furniture also very comfortable. If we are ever back that way we will definitely be staying here again.

Great stay

Very nice and spacious apartment. Quiet settings but so close to everything in town. We appreciated the friendliness and cordial welcome of the apartment managers who made our stay enjoyable and we definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet place with plenty of room for several people. Chimney Rock Village and Chimney Rock are good places to visit and enjoy small town ambience.

I stayed with my 2 daughters and one's boyfriend. We loved the set-up of the condo and the location. We enjoyed the two porches, playing in the river, walking to shops, restaurants, the brewery, and being close to the park. The unit is modern, clean, and comfortable. Great stay overall, highly recommended!

Christmas stay

Stayed here for Christmas weekend and we had a great time! The house was exactly as listed. Great location, clean, and comfortable. Had great views both in the back and front porch. But the view from the back porch was great and you could here the river from the porch. Will definitely make this to a annual visit! Definitely recommend this house!!

A great experience

The wife and I stayed here for a relaxing anniversary weekend. The communication and helpfulness of the property manager/owner made everything easy and stress-free. The location is perfect, being in the middle of Chimney Rock's shops and restaurants. It allowed us to walk to nearly everything we were drawn to do. The place is clean and well kempt.

Floors were dirty

We loved the location and the furniture was beautiful. Also the beds are very comfortable! The floors were a bit dirty causing the bottom of our feet to be black. Also could use a bit more cook wear ( there was no cookie sheet) for the people who like to cook. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back soon!

The Perfect Stay

If you are looking for a relaxing, not so busy vacation- visit Chimney Rock in December! My husband and I stayed here over a weekend to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary! The apartment was everything we could have hoped for. We enjoyed the back balcony with the view of the creek and of Chimney Rock and the front balcony looking over the village. We ate dinner both nights at Riverwatch right next door. Fantastic food and the best staff!The gift shop right below the apartment was so cute, and the lady that works there is so nice and welcoming. We will for sure be back to visit Chimney Rock and stay at this apartment! We both voted that this was probably one of our favorite trips. I honestly can not say enough good things about this place.

Wonderful

We loved this unique apartment amidst the hustle and bustle of Chimney Rock village. The front deck was excellent for people watching and we enjoyed looking at license plates driving by and seeing where everyone was from. The back deck was great for relaxing and listening to the river. We cannot wait to return. The owners were extremely helpful. The kitchen was full of everything you need to prepare meals, including spices. There were tons of extra toilet paper, bath towels, blankets, pillows, etc. I will say it again, we cannot wait to return.

Best Location in Chimney Rock

This property was perfect, we were right in the center of town with so many options to dine, shop or just look around! We come to Chimney Rock at least twice a year, we usually stay outside of town, thought we would try something different, and we were so glad we did! The hosts are super responsive, they made everything so easy from check in to check out. A big plus- you never have to get in your car after you arrive if you don't want to! Everything is right there! The apartment is gorgeous! Everything we needed and more. Very comfortable all around. So much bigger than the pictures, and both decks were awesome. The view from the back deck could not be better, you can just about touch Chimney Rock! Both bedrooms had beautiful views of Chimney Rock and walk outs to the deck. Definitely will be back! We had so much fun! Awesome mother and daughter's trip!

Great apartment

It was exactly as expected (perfect) the view from the front deck was great loved people watching. The town is like a ghost town after 530 wish there was more if a night life to walk to and enjoy after 5. Being able to see chimney rock from the back deck was great (cant believe i made it to the top of that) and the sound of the water was great. Beds were soft, had everything you needed. Host was wonderful. The people in the town were so nice. We would definitely go back, if you want a boat rental around the 4th of July book it before you get there. Check out the chili dogs next door at the riverwatch it looked great. All the food look great. Just plan to go early as they all close early. We didn't get to have one...disappointing. im still thinking about it lol Overall it was a great, clean place. We were very pleased

A great way to experience Chimney Rock

We've been coming to Chimney Rock for almost 20 years and know the area well. It was a great experience to stay right in town. Yes, things close early, but it's just something to plan for and there's so much to do even within a 30 minute drive of the area. We spent a lot of time in the water, which was easy to access from the apartment. The apartment itself served our needs well. There were a few things that, given the cost of our trip, I would have expected to be a little bit different. There were only 3 washcloths; not a huge deal--but it did mean I washed them with other laundry every day. The closet in the right bedroom is unfinished and unusable. There's a bee/wasp issue on the back deck--which is an ideal location to sit and relax, but not at the risk of being stung [we have a family member with a bee allergy, which makes this more than an annoyance]. Would this keep me from staying again? Not really. It's a beautiful place in a great location. Lots of lovely touches, but it could use a little bit of attention to a few areas.

Great location!

It was our 39th anniversary. The wife wanted to stay somewhere we could walk to shops, food, etc. This couldn’t have been a better location! We had a blast! (for two older people) Great all-around experience, and this home was a great base camp.
