Wonderful cabin on beautiful lake.
We enjoyed this cabin & beautiful view of lake.
Sat in swing on front poorch & rockers.
Enjoyed eating breakfast & lunch on back poorch facing lake.
Had wonderful fire in firepit.
Love this cabin.
We enjoyed our stay in this nice secluded cabin. Nice view of the lake and adequate amenities in the cabin. The cabin itself is rustic and well used but it was clean upon arrival. The back patio was full of dog hair and the septic system needed some attention. We were never checked on by the owners but I suppose that’s how they roll. They always answered our questions. If you have any mobility issues, getting down to the lake is quite the challenge. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Needs a Lot of Work
The inside of the cabin was clean and acceptable. There was a lamp by the sink that provided the only light because the ceiling light did not work. The deck outside had huge cobwebs. The steps to the dock were rotten with big holes which is a safety hazard. The two kayaks were not usable because the seats were broken and there was no pedal boat available even though the description said there was one. We did use the canoe to enjoy the lake. After the second day a big wet spot appeared beside the picnic table with fowl smelling water. We had a good stay in spite of the condition of the property but would not stay there again.
Good location and amenities but maintenance needed.
Pros: Comfortable rustic house. Good lake location and access. Nice to have kayaks, canoe, fishing gear, and swim floats available. Beds were comfortable. Owners were responsive when contacted about issues (burnt out lightbulbs). Cons: Septic effluent leaking to surface (by stairs to dock) anytime shower, laundry, or dishwasher were used. Railing on dock was wobbly - potential safety hazard. Sheets had holes in them. One bedroom door warped so bottom did not fully close resulting in lack of privacy. Very squeeky interior doors. Dusty under all couches and arm chairs. Overall: cabin has lots of potential but premium rental and cleaning fees were not equivalent to what was provided.

Nice Cabin, disappointed with inaccurate description
Overall, the cabin itself is pretty nice and comfortable. Check-in was easy, the cabin was neat and clean. The basic supplies such as garbage bags and dishwasher detergent are lacking.
The biggest problem is the inaccurate descriptions of ameneties along with the horrible condition of what is there. There is no paddle boat, there is no hammock, the picinic table has at least one rotten board in the middle of it, the steps leading to the dock are rotten and unsafe (one collapsed when I stepped on it) I would post pictures if reviews would accept them, there are a few rotten boards in the dock, the railing on the left side of the dock is not attached and is unsafe, the area around the dock is thick muck and unsuitable for swimming access, the fire pit is rusted through and collapsed to the side, one of the plastic chairs by the fire pit had a leg broken off and was thrown up by the side of the cabin, the other plastic chairs don't feel safe to sit in. Overall, if you forget about using anything down by the waterside, the cabin is very nice. The back deck overlooking the water is a great place to just sit and relax or have a meal.

Good for the most part
This cabin was mostly decent. Fairly clean except for some of the corners and we found a few dirty dishes in cabinets. Pics in listing seemed to be older pics and things were a little more run down. Dock railing had come away from post on one side and was a little dangerous. Area around dock was mucky and not a good place to put in to swim. We were interupted in our pajamas having breakfast on deck by people coming to pump out septic tank and they left a big muddy mound in yard from the digging . That was a little annoying and not the breakfastI atmosphere I wanted. I understand these things have to be done but a heads up would have been appreciated. The home was well stocked and mostly comfortable. The listing had a paddle/peddle boat which we were looking forward to but it wasnt there. It should be removed from amenities list. There was also a hammock which was broken and filthy tossed under the deck. Despite some of the cons we enjoyed ourselves. I just think listing needs updated so expectations are met and that dock needs repaired ASAP!
We enjoyed the view of the lake. We also enjoyed paddle boating. The local restaurant, The Highlands Bar and Grill, was delicious and convenient. We would definitely recommend this cabin.
My wife and I had a wonderful time. The cabin was the perfect size for us and right on the water. Right down the road from Chimney Rock and all things Lake Lure. We will definitely be coming back!
My husband and I had a lovely, quiet four night stay in this well-equipped, homey, lakefront cabin. A great place for some peaceful time away from home, it comes equipped with kayaks and a paddle boat if you're looking for a little exercise, and is only a short drive (or a long walk) to a sandy beach and a riverside nature path with shaded picnic tables.
We had a great weekend get away here this weekend. We were delighted that it is pet friendly as well. The scenery is beautiful and the spacious back porch was the perfect place to sit and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Locating and accessing the cabin was simple, and Holly made checking in super easy. The amenities were clean and up to date- and the bed was comfortable. The wood burning fireplace and accessible fishing area, were highlights we enjoyed as well. We recommend this cabin to others and definitely plan to visit again ourselves!!
