Great Family Vacation

The house was just as described, perfect for our party of 11, and one fur baby. Nice cool AC, short walk to lake for swimming, and the boys loved the canoes and fishing!We had an issue with the internet and TV on the 2nd day and owner took care of it promptly with no further problems. Well stocked, and comfy.

Beautiful Lake Retreat

Simply wonderful. The cabin was everything we thought: plenty of room for our group of seven, gorgeous views, peaceful neighborhood, lots of activities and hiking areas within close distance. We traveled with two boys (12 and 10), and they found plenty of activities within walking distance of the cabin to keep them entertained the whole week. I’m hoping to return to this lovely cabin again next winter!

Family vacation

The property was the perfect size for us. There were nine adults (4 couples) and one 11 year old. It was close to most things we wanted to do ( whitewater rafting, UTV, ziplining). There were plenty of linens and kitchen supplies. It was a great cozy place to unwind after the days adventures.

Nice Getaway

The property was nice and the location was convenient to Lake Lure. Cabin was well equipped and offered what you needed to make your stay pleasant. The check in process at the gate upon arrival is a little difficult but once you're in, you have access to key cards making coming and going easier. The cabin could use a good cleaning to remove some dust and cobwebs that collect over time. Overall, a nice place, wonderful location.

Beautiful cabin with a lot of maintenance problems . Mice , unusable bathroom, door can't be locked.

Wonderful cabin in the most beautiful area , with lots to do . Private gated community, with private lake to swim and boat. Cabin has lots of room for a large family . I would love to stay there again if all the maintenance issues are resolved .

Fall stay at Chipmunk Trail

The hike was great, plenty of space to spread out. Good for a large group. The decks & fireplace are a plus. The creek on the property was dry during our visit, but I’m sure it’s nice when full. The bathroom on the upstairs loft is dated and has a huge tub so we had share the downstairs shower but if you had a large group I could see how that would be inconvenient. Overall it was a great stay, just as described.

Great getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. We were in the area for a wedding and were very busy. We do wish we could have enjoyed the cabin a little more. The only complaint I have is the hot water really only lasts through one shower which was disappointing considering the home has so much room for guests. It was one of the cleanest properties I have stayed at in a while. Also very private which was nice!

Its a beautiful cabin in a very nice ...quiet and private location. It could use a bit of updating....but was very comfortable We planned this family vacation around our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter who loves the outdoors....she enjoyed the Riverbend watering hole...very close to the house but take your car if you have a little one or grandparents who cannot walk a very steep hill! We found lots of adventures....but the Lake Lure beach was not open ....except for weekends....disappointing....and the Train museum is closed...
