Our family of three enjoyed ten days at this charming cabin. It has comfortable furniture, nice decor, a well equipped kitchen, and a beautiful pool. Chimney Rock Village, Lake Lure, and downtown Hendersonville are lovely places to visit and only a short drive away. Great communication with the manager for any questions we had. Thank You.

Nice but a bit over priced

The house was clean and furnishings comfortable. Pool was also nice. The small koi fountain isn’t stocked or operating and the interior floor is majorly sloped. Close to many wineries and really liked Stone Ash.

Comfortable mountain getaway

We rented this property for a weeklong stay to celebrate our niece’s birthday. It’s easy to find and in a very private area, it feels secluded and serene. The living room area is spacious and has comfortable couches and a leather reclining chair. The kitchen space was small but appliances were great. There were a few things that stuck out to us; there was a lot of clutter everywhere which made some of the rooms, especially the kitchen feel very cramped. Some of the dressers and cabinets had random things placed in them. There were several light bulbs out, broken decor , and a musty smell in one of the bedrooms. There was a dead animal outside one of the doors that had been becoming one with nature for quite some time. We used towels on the chairs outside because the cushions are well worn and a little dirty. The one screen door was broken so we had to be very careful with the dogs. There are no visible smoke detectors in any of the rooms. The pool and garden area was incredibly overgrown with a broken fire pit, a dented patio warmer and a broken patio warmer. We did not end up bringing our niece here for her birthday and instead went out, the outdoor area was too run down. Overall we did enjoy our stay but this place needs some TLC. Property owner was responsive, personable and very helpful. She provided recommendations for attractions in the area and gave us the opportunity to turn the pool heater on. This place needs some improvements and then it would be perfect.

Felt very private even though there are other cabins in the neighborhood. Was super quiet and we had everything we needed to feel right at home. The pool was fantastic! It was so relaxing and peaceful. Just what we needed for a weekend get away. The beds were super comfy (the 2nd bedroom bed was really tall!), living area was open and the deck was perfect for hanging out. What a gem!!! Thank you so much for sharing your cabin!!

Beautiful property and location, Very relaxing vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We especially loved how beautiful the covered deck is, where we had most of our meals and played table-top games, and relaxed in the hammock. The pool was very clean and refreshing. The beds were very comfortable. We all enjoyed the jacuzzi tub, too! A rare treat :)

Tranquility!

My husband, mother, and I stayed along with our dog. The cabin was very clean and welcoming when we got there. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms clean. I do have to say that the switchbacks coming up to the cabin were an adjustment coming from Florida where everything is pretty flat and straight! Once we got used to them though, it wasn't too bad. We were able to use the pool a few times, We grilled most of the time, and enjoyed the porch daily watching the rain come in and listened to the storms in the background. We got to see the Biltmore for the first time, but were unable to see Chimney Rock as it was too hot for my mom who is 89 years old. We also rented a pontoon boat for a couple of hours on Lake Lure and enjoyed that very much. The beds were so comfortable! We all slept very well and it was a great rest from the grind. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend it!

The Good and The Bad

First, the good… the cabin and property appeared to be exactly what we were seeking for a relaxing family vacation, along with the celebration of our daughter’s college graduation. The location was very secluded and the cabin and pool were well furnished and decorated. The large wraparound deck was awesome, providing for some great rest and relaxation. The 1st two days were great. And then…the third night we awoke to a mouse crawling on our blanket. Upon further inspection of the cabin, we saw two mice sitting on top of the stove and numerous large, black ants throughout. Ants were no surprise, given the wooded location, but certainly couldn’t deal with the mice. We found four round mouse traps behind the armoire in the second bedroom, directly below the trap door leading under the main bathroom tub. Each trap was covered in dust and dog hair, leading me to believe that 1) there was obviously a known infestation and where the mice were coming from, and 2) the traps were old and hadn’t been replaced with new ones in quite some time. By now, it was 3:30 in the morning and we decided to cut our losses and drive the nine hour trip back to Ohio. Before we left, I sent Michelle a message via VRBO, letting her know of the situation and our decision to leave. She called us a couple hours later and apologized, agreeing to refund us for the remaining four nights of the week. Lesson learned…ask plenty of questions and inspect upon arrival.

Why they chose this property

The Cliffhanger is in a special place. There are nice hiking trails around the cabin. In the spring the mountain laurel, flower all over the mountain, and the mica glistens like gold along the trails. Come back after a hike and cool off in the swimming pool, or take in the mountain fresh air from the deck. Take a nap in the hammock or relax with a book. It's very quiet and peaceful here.

What makes this property unique

Very quiet, sits back of the road surrounded by woods with view of mountain from covered deck. Huge wrap around porch even nice when it rains to sit outside with a book or just to take in the sights and sounds of nature. Area to walk your pet just behind the pool.
