Overall great experience!!If you need a nice quiet weekend out of town this is the cabin! Great restaurants near by and 15mins from Chimney Rock if you want to go shopping or hike. There's a small beach access close by and other activities to do. But to be honest the back porch is the reason to not go anywhere its perfect for you and your partner to play music and play games and just spend time with each other. Mr. Carl will make sure there's enough fire wood for you to make your fire and let me tell you, if you are not roasting a honey bun over the fire you are not living your vacation right lol. Thank you so much we will most definitely be back!!

Most perfect little get away! The host was very friendly and helpful. The place was quaint and has the most comfortable bed EVER! Very relaxing and peaceful. The place is beautiful and has lots to do nearby. We went to chimney rock and then went into town and grabbed lunch before relaxing at the house. 10/10 will recommend to anyone and already looking at our calendar to see when we can come back!

Everyone has a nervous feeling when they rent a hotel or vrbo. Its natural to be worried a certain property meets your expectations. Carl was a great host. His propery was clean and very well organized. We liked all of the little items on hand at the cabin. It was priced affordable and was a stress free overnight rental from beginning to end. Great place if your looking for a gem!

A Touch of Whimsy is Exceptional!!!From the moment we arrived, this cabin felt like a home away from home. Everything was exactly as described—immaculately clean, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. You can tell the owner truly cares about creating a special experience for their guests.We spent our mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee, listening to the sounds of nature, and our evenings relaxing by the fire after exploring the beautiful mountain area of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village. The views were absolutely stunning, and the peaceful setting was exactly what we needed to recharge.One of the things we appreciated most was the attention to detail. Every room felt warm and inviting, and there were so many little touches that made our stay even more comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent—they were friendly, responsive, and genuinely wanted to make sure we had a wonderful visit.We made some amazing memories here and were genuinely sad to leave. This was one of our favorite mountain getaways, and we’re already talking about coming back. If you're looking for a place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of the NC Mountains and Lake Lure, you won't be disappointed. We highly recommend this cabin and can't wait to return!

The owner, Carl, is awesome! This is the cleanest place I have ever stayed and it is absolutely beautiful. Even the outdoor area is clean. Carl made us feel welcome and safe. He was attentive to our needs and left is to our privacy. We enjoyed grilled steaks on the park-style charcoal grill by the fire pit (clean firewood provided). Lights and Bluetooth speakers out side and huge TVs inside. Attention to detail was impressive. Lake Lure is great too. We will definitely return when we're back in the area.

This cabin was everything we anticipated and more. It is a beautifully handcrafted cabin. We enjoyed our visit and our conversations with the owner. He has two beautiful labor doodles and they were very welcoming. Lol. We had a blast and will be back. The craftsmanship was absolutely stunning. We were provided wood for the fire-pit and we sat out there by it for hours. It was gorgeous and very comfy.
