A lovely multi-night stay. The view from the rear balconies are beautiful and very relaxing. A spacious cabin (kind of like a TARDIS— much larger on the inside than it appears on the outside). The property managers were very responsive and helpful.

5 star stay

This is a beautiful home and perfectly laid out for multiple families. Each family had their own floor. The cabin is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The decks overlooking the river is where we ate all of our meals enjoying the view. The cabin is minutes away from a few nice restaurants and close to the quaint town of Chimney Rock.

Spring Break

Nice rustic cabin for Spring Break getaway! We had a great time exploring the area, fishing the lake and river. The cabin was perfect size for family. The cabin did need a another set of silverware and bathroom towels otherwise you are constantly washing. The ladybugs also must have liked the cabin because they seemed to have made it their hatching ground in the basement level!

Thanksgiving 2024

We had wonderful time spending our Thanksgiving holydays in this property. We would really like to thank our host Mrs. Liz for convincing us to come when we were having second thoughts as we thought that the area and property were damaged by the hurricane Helen. The house is very convenient at all 3 levels and views are amazing. We would highly recommend this property for families (including 4 legged members 😊) who would like to enjoy the beautiful nature NC has to offer.

Cozy cabin vacation

Our stay at the cabin on Swans Way was wonderful. The cabin was so cozy yet spacious enough for 3 family’s to spread out on three levels. It was close to a nice private beach that had a shallow end for the children to play in and also a dock to jump off of for the older kids/adults. We enjoyed using the canoe and kayak that the cabin provided, we enjoyed the soothing sound of the river below the cabin while drinking coffee in the mornings and grilling out in the evenings on the back deck. House was very clean and offered books and games. The hill behind the cabin is too steep to walk down to the river but there were multiple accesses near the cabin to enter the river. The owners were very responsive. Conveniently located near lake lure and chimney rock. We would happily stay at this location again!

Ideal mountain getaway spot for families

This cabin is in a gorgeous location, nestled in the woods. Community amenities were exactly what we expected- plenty of spots to fish, two areas to swim, grills, pavilions, etc. Mirror Lake offered gorgeous views of the mountains. We drove to Mirror Lake each day since the walk is far for kids and steep. There were a few hiccups with the sleeping arrangements but the owner rectified the issue. Bottom floor accommodated adults and kids for one family. The other family slept on the ground floor and upstairs. Not a huge kitchen. Would suggest bringing some paper goods and storage containers if you plan to cook a lot. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and would stay in the area again for sure.

Good but not spacious

The house was nice. I would not call it spacious and was bit cramped for all 8 of us to be in the main living room together - but there is a game room downstairs. There was indoor dining seating for only 4, then a picnic table on the deck. The view was beautiful. The couch was comfortable. The king bed was very firm and the upstairs queen was soft - both good. The kitchen had the very basics. Internet was not working when we were there, it was fine for us but just FYI if internet is needed. Roads are all gravel. Nice distance between cabins. Communication before we went was not good as I was unable to reach anyone to have an over the phone conversation over the course of a couple weeks. I wanted to discuss a few things since the hurricane. While we were there communication was fine.

Thank you for the review. I am quite unclear about the communication issue you mentioned as you emailed and texted and called me numerous times. You emailed me many, many times prior to arrival and I responded to all of your emails. You called me to let you in the gate and then to show you to the house. You texted me to get a firepit which we brought along with spoons. You texted and emailed that there were not enough spoons, but it was not a problem for you. You texted me to use the canoes and I brought you the paddles and lifejackets you wanted. You texted me again for additional paddle and lifejacket. The wifi only needed to be reset and it works just fine. If you would have called, texted or emailed about that I would have told you, after the storm, all T- Mobile wifi towers simply had to be reset.

Great property

Perfect setup for a family needing separation of space for sleeping and relaxing. We enjoyed the trail down by the lake to see a small waterfall. It didn't come with a firepit as expected or paddles for the small kayaks. I did request both prior to arrival. Be sure to pay attn to the directions given by the host prior to check in. We had to go buy toilet paper but not a big deal. We just happened to bring our own paper goods just in case but didn't bring that. There is a Dollar General and Ingles close by for food. We brought our own from FL. Well stocked kitchen and house. Lots of seating, inside and outside. The house backside is on a steep incline that looks west for sunsets. Very close to Burntshirt Winery Restaurant and an amazing Italian Ristorante in Chimney Rock. Host is very responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for the review! As our listing1 and checkmin i fo states, we supply starter paper products as most vacation rentals do. Unfortunately, it is very dry here and we are under a burn ban for all of western NC. No fiirepits are allowed. The paddles were left at the canoe rack near the lake. I am glad you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful area!

A nice relaxing stay

The property was very clean and nice. We got a little lost getting to the property and the road is up is quite steep and narrow so just keep that in mind when driving up. The ProsThe property was nicely adorned and cozy. We appreciated the deck which had a gate so our dog could run around on it. The views were also amazing. Our boys had a great time on the nature trail and going in the creek with our dog. Also, fishing at the pier was nice even though we didn't catch anything. We found a great local coffee spot at Grey Hawk and dinner at The Lake House Restaurant was good.The ConsThe property was big enough for the 6 of us that went but it was smaller than anticipated based on the pictures. The king bed was extremely firm. However the other beds were nice. The main dining area is a bar height table for 4 so that made meal times a little challenging. Also, the dishwasher broke (which the owners responded to quickly but were unable to fix during our stay. Also, we did have a close encounter with a mama bear and two cubs right off the front porch so be aware and come prepared!Overall we enjoyed our stay and we commented regularly that the views would be amazing in the fall! Lake Lure is on its way back and you should definitely go visit!

It was okay (I expected more)

This cabin is highly advertised as 4 bedroom cabin that sleeps 12. I was under the impression that there were 4 "private bedrooms" but this was not the case. There are 3 legitimate master bedrooms and the "4th bedroom" is an open common area with sleeping furniture. This caused an issue with the sleeping situation with my family because some required special needs and their own private room. I think it's fair to call this a 3 bedroom cabin and is wrongly advertised as a 4 bedroom. As noted in the final line of the very lengthy description, this cabin can sleep 12 but only if an air mattress is used. I was under the assumption that there were 4 private bedrooms that could possibly sleep 12. We had a total of 9 people. When I inquired about how this cabin sleeps 12, I received a rude response from the owner: "U don't need to sleep 12 but just spending the time texting to inquire?" Great customer service for a paying customer right ??? :) A couple of days later, I messaged the owner to use the complementary life jackets and canoe paddles to use at the beach. The owner did say they would drop them off but that never happened. Outside of those surprises, the cabin does provide beautiful views of the mountains, nearby walking trails and great beach. We made the best of the trip but will no longer book any rentals advertised or owned by this group.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Sept 2024
We appreciate all reviews. It is unfortunate when a guest leaves a poor review because they did not read the cabin listing details or the email response regarding the canoes. This is a large cabin with 3 levels. There is a master bedroom on each level and the 4th bedroom is an open bedroom with a game room/2nd living room with log bunk beds on one side and a queen sofa sleeper. An open bedroom is very typical in most log cabins. The canoes/kayaks are kept near the beach and are available all year. The paddles and lifejackets are in the cabin. The details about the paddle/lifejacket location were sent to this guest. Most of our guests are wonderful and we have many, many return families. I would not rent to this guest again. I am happy they enjoyed the cabin and the beautiful location and Lake Lure!

Beautiful log cabin, not suitable for 8 adults

We love Lake Lure and had fond memories with family so wanted to return to support the area. We found this beautiful cozy log cabin listed to sleep 12 and our group was only 8. However seating in the living room and eating area was for 5-6 each. Also It wasn’t clear to us at first glance it listed 4 bedrooms and 4 queen size beds, but a drop-down menu clarified It’s a queen sleeper sofa, we drew short straw, and I’m not sleeping on a sleeper sofa, so we chose the bunkbeds In this downstairs common room, I wouldn’t call it a bedroom because you have to go through the the other downstairs bedroom to use the bathroom. Know that all 3 bathrooms were tubs and had slippery surfaces! One of our guests fell in the tub. Only one bedroom on the main level so there’s stairs either way and they’re fairly steep. Two families with a couple kids might have been fine here, but this is not suitable for for 4 couples. One of the railings on the front porch was loose. BYO TP!!! “Starter” was bare minimum basically about 2 partial rolls per bathroom. there is a long gravel drive to get to the property and it’s listed on Swansway but there’s also a west Swansway some GPS services listed it as east and west. Also didn’t understand the procedure at the gate, tried to punch in a code that was to a phone number that went to voicemail and the gate attendant didn’t seem to know what to do. No cell at that time so couldn’t Go back to Find address or send a message she just let us in. Not for us!

Very special spot

We were lucky enough to spend some time at this beautiful log cabin in the mountains. The cabin was perfect. Beautifully and comfortably decorated, had everything we needed down to warm ,plush blankets. The bedrooms are all nicely furnished and the whole cabin was just peaceful and comfortable. It's in an amazing spot. We spent every evening and sunny afternoon relaxing on the back porch listening to the river and watching the sun set behind the mountains. Hiking right out the front door was another favorite. We took our dog and kids to the river a few times , another beautiful spot just a few minutes away.Lots of relaxing and family time. It was just what we were looking for.

We have stayed at the same owners cabins before. Home was very comfortable, very clean and had everything we needed to stay in and cook and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Every morning and evening were spent on the decks enjoying the river rushing. Close enough to town and grocery store. Asheville and Hendersonville were the two places we visited.

This guest areived with many more guests than booked for and destroyed our home. They ruined a white towel set with what looked appeared to be red lipstick done deliberately, took our nice big kitchen skillet and burned it up on the bbq grill outside, left bags and bags of trash thoughout the house and outside ( the passed the trash compactor on the way out), ruined sheets, left unflushed toilets and filthy bathrooms. We have many guests and many return guests and we have never had anyone leave such a filthy mess. The guest was charged for damage but cancelled thier card so there was no deposit on file and refused to pay for the damage.
