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.

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.

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...

Awesome Mountain House

Awesome house in the mountains. Loved all the wood furniture and that the deck was completely fenced off so our dog could be outside with us. The kitchen was nice and spacious and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the cozy log house atmosphere. The king bed is located upstairs and is a loft feeling room (for those looking for privacy, there isn't any sound wise). The spacious bathroom upstairs does not have a standard shower, just a large tub with a handheld shower faucet, but there is a shower on the main floor and in the basement, so no big deal for us. There was a pet bin with bowls and blankets which was a nice touch in case you forget any supplies for your pet. We would definitely rent here again, it was a great place!

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.

Won’t be staying here again

The house was not clean there was pet stains everywhere the beds were horrible. The water system sucked we couldn’t hardly shower while there I’m so glad I had brought a blowup mattress because you could barely sleep on their beds all together I just would not at all stay here or any of their cabins again sorry I just wasn’t impressed by any of it at all.

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.

Wonderful Stay! Beautiful Views!

We do a New Years retreat with a group of couples every year and we were very happy with our stay on Lake Lure this year! The property has ample parking (we fit 5+ vehicles), a fully gated porch which was great for the dogs, very quiet neighborhood and convenient to stores/restaurants. Did I mention it’s DOG FRIENDLY?! A few things to be aware of, not complaints, just things to help people like us in the future! 1. The WiFi is not very good and was spotty. Streaming tv (like football games) was very hard. 2. It’s not really a 5 bedroom. It’s 3 bedrooms and a loft with a queen & trundle. The loft is very open to the downstairs, not much privacy. 3. The kitchen has very random baking pans and pots. I would suggest bringing your own if you need something in particular (like a glass baking dish) 4. All the wood for the fire is outside, uncovered. So if it has been raining, you will want to bring your own, dry wood. Overall though, we had a fantastic time! I would definitely recommend it for 1-2 families!

I have mix feeling about this property. The cabin has so much potential, but it needs some TLC.

The Riverbend Community is beautiful; we had a fantastic week enjoying the outdoors. The cabin is in a great location, within walking distance to the beach and river area, but I had mixed feeling about our stay. The owner was very responsive, and checking in was easy. It’s true, some of the mattresses are overdue to be replaced, i.e., The queen downstairs and king size in the loft. The doors that lead to the porch downstairs don’t lock, and the handles are loose. Wi-Fi is a hotspot from the early 2000s, be prepared to lose connectivity. Bring your Fire Stick or RuKu; the satellite only has like three channels, and the TVs are not smart TVs where you can log-in to your personal accounts. The cabin requires a deep clean. We had to wash the shower curtains upon arrival, they stuck like urine. The bath towels smelled musty, like they were not dryer all the way before putting them away. There is what appears to be black mold on the ceiling in the loft area just above the tv from a previous or active roof leak. They have an extension cord running along the wall to the outside in the loft area. This cabin has a lot of bad DIYs and notes taped everywhere.. But it’s roomy, and the porches are great. This cabin just needs TLC.

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.
