Can't beat the view of Chimney Rock ! This place was very clean and well stocked with items that you need when staying. Really enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching traffic and people go by and wow the back porch was right on the river. The parking was right out front which was great. Enjoyed coffee at the Riverwatch Coffee Shop and the best hamburger at the Riverwatch Bar and Grill that was just next door. Can't wait to book this place again. Chimney Rock is the Best!!!

Wonderful stay

Beautiful location, close to Chimney Rock and right on main street so close to shops and restaurants. Apartment was very clean and cozy. Our 2 daughters stayed with us and they too were very impressed. Beds were so comfy and furniture also very comfortable. If we are ever back that way we will definitely be staying here again.

Great location!

It was our 39th anniversary. The wife wanted to stay somewhere we could walk to shops, food, etc. This couldn’t have been a better location! We had a blast! (for two older people) Great all-around experience, and this home was a great base camp.

Very nice and spacious apartment. Quiet settings but so close to everything in town. We appreciated the friendliness and cordial welcome of the apartment managers who made our stay enjoyable and we definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet place with plenty of room for several people. Chimney Rock Village and Chimney Rock are good places to visit and enjoy small town ambience.

I stayed with my 2 daughters and one's boyfriend. We loved the set-up of the condo and the location. We enjoyed the two porches, playing in the river, walking to shops, restaurants, the brewery, and being close to the park. The unit is modern, clean, and comfortable. Great stay overall, highly recommended!

Christmas stay

Stayed here for Christmas weekend and we had a great time! The house was exactly as listed. Great location, clean, and comfortable. Had great views both in the back and front porch. But the view from the back porch was great and you could here the river from the porch. Will definitely make this to a annual visit! Definitely recommend this house!!

A great experience

The wife and I stayed here for a relaxing anniversary weekend. The communication and helpfulness of the property manager/owner made everything easy and stress-free. The location is perfect, being in the middle of Chimney Rock's shops and restaurants. It allowed us to walk to nearly everything we were drawn to do. The place is clean and well kempt.

Floors were dirty

We loved the location and the furniture was beautiful. Also the beds are very comfortable! The floors were a bit dirty causing the bottom of our feet to be black. Also could use a bit more cook wear ( there was no cookie sheet) for the people who like to cook. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back soon!

In the middle of it all in Chimney Rock

If you want to be close to everything that is great about the Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area, this is the place to be. Restaurants, taverns, unique gift shops and more are all within easy walking distance. The apartment is clean, well appointed and the owners have gone the extra mile to provide all the little extras that make for a wonderful stay. People watching on the front deck and river viewing on the back deck was great. Having the managers right next door is a plus for sure and these young people are fantastic! We have stayed at a lot of places in the area and this one ranks amongst the best for us. Hats off to the owners for a job well done!
