This cabin was very cozy, we love everything in the house inside and outside, the views was amazing. My son and I got a wonderful birthday in this pretty cabin, the terrace was spectacular with the rocking chair where we relaxed watching the sunset. Of course I will return again.
Best birthday ever…😍

Great Cabin Beautiful Views!

This cabin was adorable and clean. The location was close enough to the water and docks to fish. From the large covered deck you could see mountains and the Lake. It was nice to go out to see the sunrise in the mornings. Would stay again!

Warm, inviting log cabin with peek-a-boo lake view

Loved the cabin and the view. The ramp was convenient and the front porch (and swing!) were fabulous. Gravel road was difficult when meeting oncoming cars. Slid down the gravel driveway and fell when taking trash to outdoor trash can. Fortunately not injured, but we decided to take trash with us for safety's sake. Otherwise, perfect!

Rocky Roads

The cabin itself is all we expected except for a few things - we specifically wanted 2 bathrooms but unfortunately we only had 1 shower in the house. We didn’t realize that the master didn’t have a shower along with tub so that was very inconvenient. Also we had dogs and the driveway and road were all Rocks and steep inclines. Absolutely no where to walk our dogs so we had to resort To taking them to dog parks.

Wonderful cabin with access drivable access to Lake Lure

The cabin was great, and suited our needs. There was plenty of cookware, bath towels, and space to relax. The covered front porch is large, and inviting; definitely the highlight of the cabin. The immediate surrounding area is under construction, and made for a less appealing experience when coming and going. We arrived at the cabin after dark, and the sparse outdoor lighting around the cabin made it difficult to determine if we were at the right cabin, and how to get inside. Reaching out to the property mgmt was easy and quick, even at that late hour. Overall we are very happy with our stay.
