Nice time at Lake Lure

This was our first time visiting the area. The cabin was well located to make exploring the area easy and convenient. We enjoyed the stocked kitchen as well. We enjoyed a few meals out and a few meals cooked in the cabin. The place was clean, easy to find and gave us a good amount of space.

Family adventure

Mary Ann’s Cabin was great for us four. I would recommend the cabin to anyone for a nice quiet getaway. It was homey, clean and well decorated for a mountain home. It was close to all we wanted to see and do.

Great Cabin Near Chimney Rock and Lake Lure

The cabin was well stocked for our stay, although we did not cook any meals while we were there. The bathrooms were also adequately stocked with supplies, towels and washcloths. The cabin appeared very clean, and all of the light switches were labeled for convenience. We were happy to find that the bed in the master bedroom (downstairs) had a memory foam topper and was comfortable to sleep in. There were plenty of pillows as well. The location was was easy to access with adequate room for parking off the street. We also enjoyed the gas fireplace and the satellite TV while relaxing at the cabin. The only recommendation I have would be to use fragrance free detergent and softener for the towels, washcloths, and bed linens for folks with sensitivities and allergies to fragrance. Although, it seems pretty common to find scented laundry products being used in most cabin and house rentals. Overall, it was a wonderful cabin and a great getaway for our anniversary.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Egan

Let me introduce ourselves,we are Tim and Barbara. We were married in May 2006 and had our log cabin built in the summer of that year. We love the location and the neighbors here are very nice. We had looked all in the Lake Lure and Chimney Rock area and found this lot almost by accident. We named the cabin after Tim's mother. She had always wanted a cabin in the mountains and after raising 9 wonderful children we felt that she could also now have her dream. We consider ourselves very fortunate to find such a beautiful community.I grew up on Sullivan's Island, & Columbia SC
Presently live in Rock Hill, SC

Why they chose this property

We love the beautiful lake and mountains all around. It is breath taking in all seasons. We took the tour of the lake and just realized how relaxing and beautiful it was. It is an added bonus that Chimney Rock is so close. We went to the top of Chimney Rock and got a birds eye view. WOW it is amazing!! Don't worry they have an elevator to take you to the top. My parents told me to always invest in real estate. It was Good advise!

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the location and all the kind people there. The lake and mountains are so peaceful as is the cabin. We enjoy watching the wildlife...birds, squirrels, and sometime deer. The deck is enjoyable with the rocking chairs and cooking out on the gas grill. We have enjoyed many evenings on the deck. The jacuzzi tub is amazing too! Especially after an nice walk and a quiet dinner!
