Family Getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at the cabin! It was the perfect place to unwind as a family. We paddle-boarded, swam/lounged on the beach, explored the trails, and hiked Chimney Rock. The house was clean and well-maintained, and the owners were very responsive and organized. Lake Lure and the small surrounding towns are hidden gems. Thank you, Karen, for letting us stay at your place!

Cozy cabin in the forest

First off, Karen is the most gracious and accommodating hostess. She was so responsive to my inquiries and checked up on us. The cabin was a little tricky to get to, but I blame that on us being from flat Texas and unused to hilly terrain. But we got the hang of it. The cabin was so quiet and relaxing. Everything we needed was already in the cabin. Very pet friendly. Our furries loved it. We did day excursions to hike and shop. Great area and great place. I would highly recommend.

Pre-Anniversary Vacation

We have stayed at this property in the fall, but couldn't wait to get back during the summer months, when the water was a little warmer. We really like the location, the proximity to everything needed and the wildlife. We saw deer and rabbits on or around the property everyday. Our daughter just loved being this close to nature.

Beautiful setting and cabin!

My husband and I and our two dogs visited for a long weekend and highly recommend this cabin. It caught my eye because it's dog-friendly. The cabin is located in a private, gated community that is very wooded and natural - there are plenty of places to walk (if you like hills!), lakes with a private beach and a nature walk. The cabin itself was super cozy and cute. Comfortable beds, nice bathroom, wood-burning fireplace and well-equipped kitchen. Karen was terrific to work with and very responsive. Definitely recommend staying here!

Love staying in Riverbend

The cabin is very nice and the location is excellent. We have stayed in Riverbend before, but being on the side of the swimming lake was great!! We really appreciated the ability to use floats and chairs! Nice firepit in the front yard and the fenced in run with the gated porch is perfect for most dogs (our 9 pound mini could get out, but she is fine on a leash). I thought the listing said lake view, but we could not really see the lake from the porch. Maybe in the winter you would see more, but when the trees are full, there really is not a view. That is the only reason for 4 and not 5 stars.

Cozy cabin with gorgeous view

I booked this cabin several months ago for a girl's weekend. We looked online at the pictures and thought it looked beautiful but the pictures alone do not do it justice. We loved how the owners have carefully taken attention to detail in making this cabin as cozy and comfortable as possible. All of the creature comforts we needed were provided. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the gorgeous views as we sat on the very comfortable egg chairs on the deck. Will book again!

Amazing

Quaint, Private, Quiet - Are all words I’d use to describe this incredible cabin. My family and I had a wonderful experience at this mountain lake escape. We felt like it was the perfect size for our family of 4. Our kids loved the loft, while I spent as much time as possible by the fire pit or fishing. Karen and her husband provided us with all the information we needed to settle in and see the nearby sights. Their cabin and the experience they provided went beyond our expectations. We will be returning soon.

Just what we needed!

Karen was a fabulous host, constantly making sure everything was perfect from things to do in the area to helping us with potential road closures due to Hurricane Michael. Great retreat for the entire family including 2 year old and 2 small dogs. Close proximity to quant little mountain towns/attractions and the fire pit and fire place made it a perfect spot to relax in the evenings and watch a movie. The Verizon Mifi was a lifesaver for anyone who needs internet connection for a tablet or laptop. Would recommend to anyone looking for a little R & R. PS the beds are super comfortable! Thanks!

Great!

Perfect little cabin! There are many little lakes within the community and a quick drive to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. The cabin was spotless and so cute. The attention to detail was impressive. The kitchen had EVERYTHING you could need and the bathroom had extra shelves and plenty of towel hooks (which frankly, isn’t usual for rentals!). My son and I had fun playing football in the front yard, spotting hummingbirds and deer. We also had fun watching movies from their large collection of DVD’s. If you’re considering staying here, just go ahead and do it!

Spring Break Trip 2017

We had the best time! The cabin was in perfect condition and all the little details from providing laundry and dish detergent (and more!) to having some hot chocolate waiting for us on arrival really made us feel welcome. My kids (3 girls- aged 8, 10 and 12) and our two dogs had a wonderful time exploring the woods around the cabin and having a fire every night in the fire pit (cut wood provided which was so nice!). It is very secluded- I think 2 cars drove by our house in 5 days. About a 2 minute drive away in the neighborhood is a little nature walk with a cool waterfall and we must have spent hours there wading the river and climbing on the rocks. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be coming back!

Get-a-way vacation

The property was hard to find in the gated community but the property owners gave great directions once in the community. As far as the property, it was everything that the owners said it would be. Everyone in our party loved the layout. I will be asking the owners for their builder". It was very dog friendly and well stocked. Also,, it was close to everything we wanted to do , once we got out of the communiity. Only downfall, was having to drive in and out of the community, A very winding road. But that the nature of everything in and out of the community. We would recommend this place for anyone wanting to get away.

Good Get Away

Overall the property was just as described with no major issues. My only concerns were: 1. Dog poop was found in the loft area under the bed when arrived. It was not our dog's either. 2. No firewood was provided. There was some in the pit we were able to use but not what as stated in the ad. I would not hesitate to come back to this place and view these issues as minor. It was a great time and relaxing.

Great Cottage in a Great Location!

We had a wonderful time at the Mountain Lake Escape! We saw deer every day we were there. We enjoyed the beach every day as well. It was never very crowded, and the other residents/renters we encountered at the beach were friendly and polite. On our last day we decided to take our rafts and ride down the river to the Old Swimming Hole. We had a blast doing it, and only wished we hadn't waited until the last day to try it. The proximity to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock was nice as well. We also ended up in Rutherford quite a bit, as rain hampered our opportunities to do things outside on a few of the days. In Rutherford we discovered the Corner BBQ, which doesn't look like much, but had great BBQ and other sandwiches. And don't miss Mimi's Dairy-O for pizza and ice cream! We enjoyed everything that the cottage had to offer. We can't wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Beijer

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 30 years. We live about an hour away from this sweet cabin, which is our 2nd home. Owning this cabin is a dream come true! We are enjoying creating a beautiful relaxing space to share with others so they can escape from it all and enjoy being in the present moment. We are now making memories with our two boys in Lake Lure at our cabin and giving them the off grid experience. Our two dogs, Roxi and Ollie both enjoy hiking and snuggling at our cabin as well as going in the water down at Broad River. We ask that you treat our cabin as if it is yours.

Why they chose this property

We knew the moment we drove into the Riverbend Community that we wanted to have our 2nd home there. We had been searching for over a year for the perfect cabin for ourselves and to have as a vacation rental for others to enjoy. Driving though the dirt/gravel roads in Riverbend you will first see the Old Swimming Hole. Up the road and around the corner you will see Mirror Lake with its pavilion, beach, and dock for boating, fishing and swimming. Across the road is the River Walk where you can take in the beautiful Broad River including several deeper swimming hole areas and big gorgeous boulders, and a small peaceful waterfall. There are some tables down at the river to picnic at as well. Past Mirror Lake is Little Mirror Lake that also has a picnic table. The neighborhood has over 350 houses (mostly log homes) and each one has enough land that you can barely see your neighbor. The community is very wooded, and there's wildlife including deer, bobcats, foxes, bears. We do encourage leashing your dogs for their own safety.
When we are at the cabin we really get the feeling of not wanting to leave. There is much to see only 10 minutes away in Lake Lure or 15 minutes to Chimney Rock, and an hour to Asheville. The location of the cabin is perfect for zip lining, kayaking, the Tryon International Equestrian Center events, festivals (don't miss the Dirty Dancing Festival in Lake Lure in the Fall), tubing, boating, fishing, breweries, wineries, hiking, biking, horse back riding.

What makes this property unique

We knew from the moment we walked into the cabin that it was THE ONE! The beautiful vaulted ceiling (and exposed beams) was the first thing that caught our eye. The handcrafted one of a kind wagon wheel lighting fixture in the living room gave the space a unique feel. Then it was the stone fireplace and mantle from the 1700's taken from a cabin from West Virginia. There are beautiful seasonal views of Mirror Lake from the deck which is a great spot to have your morning coffee.
We have included art work from local artists as part of the decor. The desk and console table are from a local woodworker and was designed by us.
We hope you appreciate some of these unique aspects to our cabin and enjoy it during your stay!
