"We have been coming to Lake Lure every year for 6 years now and have stayed at a few places in rumbling bald resort and this was one of the more expensive places we have stayed but the price did not match up with what we got. We got there at check in at 4 and the cleaners were still working, we waited patiently but when we finally got in the house we could tell it was rushed. There was no organization to the kitchen- pots and pans everywhere and lids that don’t match. The beds were not that comfortable and the bath towels were comically small- they barely fit around my 8 year old. Overall we had a good trip, I just think this place is overpriced for what you get. Host was excellent with communication."

"We enjoyed this cabin and love the Lake Lure area. We went on the Lake Lure Boat Tour with Bill and it was amazing. Thankful that the community has worked together after Helene came through.We had good food at Lastradas, one of our favorites. And the fish fry at The Fish House was good. We also spent Saturday afternoon at the Grey Hawk Gardens while watching the Otter Dogs band. Very relaxing. We found an awesome little family breakfast at The Victory. It was good and had great service.Maryann’s cabin was nice, clean and was decorated just like pictured. Enjoyed the back deck just sitting and relaxing. The bed was very comfortable.We definitely will be back for a visit at this cabin as we had a wonderful relaxing long weekend.Thank you Tim for sharing your cabin with us."

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful log cabin! The quiet cove was perfect for relaxing, and the swimming was amazing—it truly is a swimmer's paradise. The cabin was warm, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great family vacation.The kids absolutely loved the game room, which kept them entertained for hours, and we enjoyed spending time together on the lake. Bob was an outstanding host—friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed.It was also great to visit the Chimney Rock and Lake Lure area. While the community is still recovering, it's inspiring to see the resilience of the local people, and we were happy to support the area during our visit.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful lakeside getaway!"

Owl's Nest Cabin. Romantic Cabin on beautiful Lake Lure!

8/10 Good
"Cabin was very nice. Needed some deep cleaning around fans and fixtures, but overall very nice. Unfortunately, we were unable to view the lake from the porch area due to over growth of limbs from the trees. It would be nice if the trees were pruned enough to allow a clear view of the beautiful lake. We brought our Mini dachshund for our trip and when we walked her leashed, the cabin next to us had 2 German Shepherds that were not leashed and the owner let them wander freely. They charged me and my dog several times which made it difficult to walk her. It might be helpful to ensure that guests with pets should always have them on a leash. Otherwise, we enjoyed our trip."
