All around wonderful property and perfect for our group of 7 adults and 3 children. The couch was the ideal spot for family game night. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub when we got tired of the beach (which was literally steps away). The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of dishes, cups, etc. We did have a minor issue with the BBQ grill (gas leak), but luckily it was the propane tank and not the grill itself. I definitely recommend staying here for your SPI trip!
They thought of everything! Lovely cabin with everything you can think of - phenomenally well stocked with linens, towels, kitchen items… just everything you could need. You can’t go wrong staying here!
We stayed here for a long weekend with our young girls and dog. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The short drive to the lake access in the neighborhood was our favorite aspect. The drive to Lake Lure Beach and Chimney Rock Village is short. The porch with bench swing was such a relaxing place to enjoy the quiet and nature. I wish we had stayed longer! Will definitely be back.
House was clean and more beautiful in person than on the listing. All supplies we needed such as paper towels, toilet paper, towels, and soap were fully stocked. Our puppies enjoyed running around in the fenced in yard. Overall it was a great trip
What a great place to stay. I've stayed in many vrbo's previously and this one was well thought out. They thought of everything you could possibly need. Everything was top notch. The location was great and I guarantee the roads were very good getting to the property. Thank you for a great time and we look forward to staying in your property again in the future.
Cozy cabin tucked back in the hills. We had no issues with the property. Accommodations were nice and super clean; even better than the pictures present. Property manager was great.
JR'S Cabin is a wonderful getaway for a couple or small group. Located in River Bend, it is charming, comfortable, well appointed, and the owners have made it dog friendly with a secure fence around the property. It is minutes from Lake Lure and a short drive to Rutherfordton, NC.
We have stayed at other properties in the area, but JR's Cabin is our favorite and definitely one we will return to.
Everything was wonderful. Owner was exceptional providing for our needs. We felt like it was a definite home away from home. Thank you Noreen, for every extra detail.

We stayed at JR Cabin for one week with our 2 small dogs. I chose this property primarily as it was dog friendly and fenced. We were impressed with how secure the fence was with great care taken that there were no areas that a dog could get through which provided great peace of mind.
The accommodations were clean, comfortable and so well stocked with any kitchen gadget you’d need, a keurig with coffee pods available…much appreciated!, plentiful bath towels and even first aid kits, washer and dryer with detergent. We would definitely choose this property should we ever come back to the area!
We loved JR’s cabin located in a mountain oasis in the Lake Lure area. Very convenient location to area attractions. Gated community with a small lake and river…gravel road to the cabin was fine with our SUV. The cabin was comfortable and had everything needed for our stay. So nice having coffee on the porch in such peaceful surroundings! The owner was very responsive and accommodating.
You definitely feel like you are in the woods with the authentic log style, exterior and beautiful trees that surround the property. I saw a bear on the way into Lake lure the day I arrived. I also saw several beaver on the sides of the road, and crossing. Definitely a magical place I shall return.

Location was not to our liking. Was not conducive to any golf or fishing
We absolutely loved JR’s cabin. From the solitude of the surroundings to the amenities and comfort it was everything we hoped it would be. The owners were always readily available if needed. The cabin was spotlessly clean and supplied with just about everything. Our two small dogs loved the fenced and secure yard. Close to Lake Lure, Chimney Rock plus a grocery store nearby made it even more convenient. We will return for sure.
Jr Cabin was nicely located in the mountain. We enjoyed the spacious living space and rooms. We were most impressed that the cabin provided condiments and spices, as well as ketchup mustard and butter. Saved us from buying that stuff. We also enjoyed both the BBQ and Fire Pit. Everything was provided as if living there full time. We would stay at Jr Cabin again in the future. Thank you for everything Mrs. Noreen.

About the host
Hosted by Noreen James
Our family has owned JR's Cabin since 2015, and we have made a lot of wonderful memories there! It is named for our family patriarch, "JR McCoy." We retired to North Carolina from Tennessee in 2022, bought our "forever home" nearby, and wanted to offer others the chance to make some memories of their own in our little slice of heaven in the woods. Relax, set awhile on the front porch, breathe deeply ... and ENJOY!
Why they chose this property
Peace and quiet in the NC mountains! One-level cabin is perfect for gathering with family and friends on the porch or around the firepit! Just a short drive to Canopy Ridge Ziplining and Lake Lure Village.
