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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Disliked: Location

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.

Riverbend -Whataview

This is one of the nicest cabins we have ever stayed in near lake Lure. Most cabins do not have the ambience and decorative touches that makes 329 Chipmunk many steps above the rest. Between the view, the cabin decor, and the owner's concern about our comfort makes this a cabin we wil surely return to,
