Beautiful mountain retreat

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin in the mountains. He had no problem getting around the cabin in his wheelchair. The cabin and lake were a peaceful and comfortable stay.

Relax at the Lake

We really enjoyed our time away at the cabin. My idea if vacation is peace and relaxation without crowds and thats just what we found here! The AC at the cabin works great! Love the mountain view from the kitchen sink and master bath!

Great views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views were as good as advertised. Location is excellent. It’s in a gated community with a lake, small beach, and short hiking trails to a waterfall and river. The only shortcoming is that the third bedroom is not quite a full “bedroom”Has all of the basic kitchenware.

Glad to be Back

My husband and I stayed at this property a little over a year ago, and decided to return for a few days to get away from the hustle and bustle at home. The place is truly gorgeous...well furnished and stocked with all the essentials. The two screened porches are a BIG asset in mosquito territory, and the gas fireplaces are just right for those cool mornings and evenings. A great quiet place for couples, but also big enough for the whole family. Had a great time!

Quiet Getaway

We enjoyed our stay and found the cabin roomy enough for our needs. The kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed cooking meals with family. Loved the convenient lake access and used the canoe several times! Suzie was quick to respond to our questions and made the check-in process very convenient!

Family trip

This property was awesome we loved to log cabin and all its charm. We loved enjoying the screened porches and the fire places. Was a great way to spend some quality time with our family. Didn’t even turn the TV on the whole weekend. Susie was a great host and we would totally come back again.

Whataview

It was a beautiful cabin and the view was breath taking. The only disappointment was the steps away from the lake. I really thought we would be right on the water with our private little adventure but that was not the case. It was literally steps down the side of a bank. It was rough going back to the cabin. However, that was my fault, I should have made sure we were on the lake as I had hoped. Overall the stay was peaceful, beautiful, and the cabin offered all of our family needs along with plenty of room. Thanks for sharing your cabin with my family and I.

Could be so pretty

The view is great, the overall filth of the cabin was pretty intolerable. The ancient mattresses were very uncomfortable. A thorough cleaning and updated mattresses would do a world of good.

Lovely cabin with beautiful view and lake access.

Location and subdivision were awesome. Views were pretty, lake access was awesome for the kids. We ran out of toilet paper and dishwasher tabs as there were not enough supplied. We were disappointed when we read at check in that we needed to wash and fold the towels and linens upon checkout as well. We were assessed a cleaning fee. Overall, we had a great experience and would come again, just prepared!

Sisters getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were great. Great views of the water at the beach after a short climb down some steps to the water. Susie was very responsive and great to deal with. The Wi-Fi was a little slow at times but we really didn’t need to use it much for our stay. We had a wonderful time and loved the area! The deck and screened porch were a plus and was so nice being able to sit out and enjoy the fresh air. It is a gated community so a key code or scan card is needed to get in after 6. There are instructions in the check in section. I would stay again! I loved the homie feel of the cabin with plenty of room for us to have our own space.

Annual family vacation

Absolutely loved the location of the property to mirror lake. It was our second year staying in Riverbend, and though the stairs are steep, super convenient to be right there! House was large enough for the whole family and multiple generations. Only thing is the cleaning could have been a bit better. There were cob webs that have been there for a long time and not touched but I know that’s the cleaning crews that come through. The master bedroom “door” was a bit interesting and then no door to the master bathroom so even when everyone was downstairs still felt that you weren’t closed off. The owner was super responsive, had to reach out a couple times during our stay and after and was always helpful! We absolutely love the area and have made it our destination for our family vacation every year!

Lovely setting that needs a few calculations

The rental is located in a lovely setting that offers lots of nearby activities: swimming, picnicking, zip lining, horse back riding, etc. Loved the deck, screened porch and dog gate! Great views from the house! Plenty of areas to hang out in the house for a family or friends group. A few issues: The rental does not come equipped with basics such as soap, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning solution, etc, Be prepared to bring everything you need. The rental lacks a door to the bathroom on the top level. If you want privacy, you have to ask people to leave the upstairs area. The rental is many steep steps away from the lakefront. The entrance to the housing development requires a gate code. We did not receive it - make sure to ask for this.

Renters Beware!!

BEWARE!!! Cabin was not cleaned when we arrived. We had to go purchase cleaning products, paper towels and trash bags. Cabinet with cleaning supplies has a pad lock. Large dead spiders in both bathrooms and cobwebs covering the cabin. Cable does not have ESPN. We left the property exactly as we found it, probably cleaner. Property manager sent an outrageous email accusing the cabin of being trashed and is attempting to charge another $200 fee. We have pictures before we left, the accusations are FALSE. The property is beautiful, the property management is a nightmare and will file additional charges. DO NOT RENT!!!

Nice but . . .

The house is located in a neighborhood called River Bend which is located on top of a mountain with dirt , steep, and winding roads with sheer drop offs. You need to be careful driving to and fro the house in this neighborhood. The GPS and internet were hit or miss while driving to the house (not owner's fault). If you have kids, the lake is a stone's throw away which is a plus. The house was neat and tidy but dark (It was surrounded by trees with few windows). The a/c was cool enough on the main and bottom floors, not so with the upper floor (you could not sleep on the top floor at night). (It was high 80's and low 90's outside when we stayed there). I slept on the bottom floor bedroom which did not have any curtains on the sliding glass door (which the owner should remedy). You got up when the sun rose, like it or not. It was peaceful there. No noise. The bed sheets and bath towels were old. This oversight is a simple fix and would make the stay better. The house was large and close to the lake. The house was close to my brother's house which is why I rented this house. We saw two deer on the side of the road while driving back to the house one night. I had an okay time staying at this house but would not rent this house or any house at River Bend again.

Cockroach! And other issues...

After planning a three day stay at this property, we had to leave after one day, ruining our vacation. So disappointing. Things got off to a rough start before we even arrived. The “road” heading up to the cabin is nothing more than gravel. That would be okay, except for the fact that it is very tight and along a very steep grade in several spots. Also, we had to get out of the car at one point to clear two trees out of our path, right next to one of the areas of steep grade. Upon arrival to the cabin itself, we discovered that there was no WiFi, and that the TV had very few channels available. To the owner’s credit, she was easy to contact, but she had no solutions and could only say she had not been to the property in a year, so the solution was to have a Verizon rep call us, which never happened. This was still our first day there. At this point it was late so we decided to head upstairs to sleep. When we got up there, despite having the thermostat set at 65, the temperature had risen to an uncomfortable level. To add insult to injury, we found a COCKROACH in the master bath when we woke up. When I later discussed this with the owner, she said that she expected to find hundreds, but only found the one, implying that I had exaggerated. First, I NEVER said there was more than one roach. What I did in fact state was that, as anyone knows, if you see one cockroach, you know there are hundreds more hidden away. Second, and more importantly, for the rate we paid per night, you should not see any roaches. We really wanted to like this cabin. But it simply was not as advertised. Maybe others will enjoy it, but we had to cancel our vacation two days early. I think that speaks for itself.
