Mary Ann’s Cabin was great for us four. I would recommend the cabin to anyone for a nice quiet getaway. It was homey, clean and well decorated for a mountain home. It was close to all we wanted to see and do.

Great Cabin Near Chimney Rock and Lake Lure
The cabin was well stocked for our stay, although we did not cook any meals while we were there. The bathrooms were also adequately stocked with supplies, towels and washcloths. The cabin appeared very clean, and all of the light switches were labeled for convenience. We were happy to find that the bed in the master bedroom (downstairs) had a memory foam topper and was comfortable to sleep in. There were plenty of pillows as well. The location was was easy to access with adequate room for parking off the street. We also enjoyed the gas fireplace and the satellite TV while relaxing at the cabin. The only recommendation I have would be to use fragrance free detergent and softener for the towels, washcloths, and bed linens for folks with sensitivities and allergies to fragrance. Although, it seems pretty common to find scented laundry products being used in most cabin and house rentals. Overall, it was a wonderful cabin and a great getaway for our anniversary.

Cute cozy cabin
The cabin was very clean and was the perfect size for our two small girls, my husband and I. The girls loved eating breakfast on the porch and the little play nook with toys. The owner was so generous to offer our family to check in a day early due to a Florida hurricane but our flights weren’t until the next day so we couldn’t take him up on the offer.. The master king bed was a little too firm for our liking and from the listing we thought there was a waterfall nearby that we could hike to but when we looked it up it’s was over an hour away. Other than that, the kitchen had a lot for us to use, there was comfy lazy boys and we will definitely be back when we visit family again

Mary Ann's Cabin Stay
Overall this was a great property and was just as advertised. The location was convenient and easy to find. The house was well stocked but I have stayed in VRBOs that were better stocked. I had to buy a few things but just took them back home with me. The door lock was a problem at first but the owner fixed it. I would stay here again & would recommend to others.

Wishing it could have been longer
Property was wonderful. What we loved the most was it was central to everything and clean as advertised. Wish there had been more outside furniture to relax in or chairs for a lakeside retreat. But highly recommend.
