Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Emily A. Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy We wanted to come support the community of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock after the hurricane. We knew that much of the town would not be open, but chose to come regardless. Unfortunately, the property was filthy. Mold, mildew, dust, & dead animals in the home. My daughter has a dust mite allergy, so we left early. I was absolutely disgusted by the overall condition of the cabin. We found towels & bath mats still in the washer days after arrival. A rancid smell presented itself a few days in, property owners were called, we were told it would go away. The home has air conditioning listed as a feature, there is no air conditioning in the upstairs bedrooms, the heat was unbearable during the day. The basement is so damp the humidifier needed to be emptied daily. The smell was awful, even before the stench of a dead animal arrived. Kitchen supplies were old and broken. We could not find baking sheets, then the bottom drawer of the oven wouldn’t shut, my husband removed & found all the baking sheets, covered in filth. It looked like the range had not been cleaned behind in years. The property owners were very misleading about the condition of the amenities. We brought our dogs, and planned on walking trails and swimming in the river. We were never informed by the property owners that the river was contaminated. Thank goodness a local resident warned us before we risked our children & pets. Riverbend is a lovely community, we will visit again, just not at this property. ![Inside cabinets](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6126083d-c470-4702-a509-5e369b02ecaa-1753642881558.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Floor and baseboard covered in a thick layer of dust.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7dd432d6-2e26-4e03-955b-24b531978e0c-1753642881407.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Thick layer of dust on the bed. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4c1fd4e5-3da6-4cf2-8ab0-7ce8407ab2f4-1753642881026.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Emily A.

Sep 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great mountain retreat Cabin was very comfortable and as advertised. We saw lots of deer and had a beautiful private location. The four stars versus five is because of a couple of small items. 1. A warning that the stairs are steep should be noted in the listing. 2. The grill needs to be replaced, it is very worn out. I would return, but not with my family member who had difficulty with the stairs. Enjoyed the area and the stay. ##### Beth H.

It is the quintessential cabin in the mountains/woods. With the bear theme and the beautifully carved bears it reminded my daughters of Goldilocks and the three bears. The cabin is very private with big decks. We enjoyed evenings on the decks and the kids and the dogs played outside in the yard and woods where we could see them. We did some early morning hikes down to the river area and lake. We drove down to the beach since we had a lot of beach stuff and tubes. The cabin was clean and well taken care of. The older kids loved the basement bedroom with their own deck. To sum it up, just a very special, quaint home surrounded by a beautiful area. ##### Linda E.

It was a quiet, wooded setting which was exactly what we wanted. The cabin was very clean, and had everything that we needed. Liz answered all our questions and was very helpful. We enjoyed Chimney Rock Village and a trip to the Tryon International Equestrian Center for a free show jumping event. We did learn that if you put the address of the cabin into Google driving directions, it will direct you to a secondary, unmanned gate. Instead, you can enter 6837 U.S. Hwy. 64-74a, Lake Lure. NC. Then you can enter the cabin address from there. Our stay was very enjoyable, and we would stay again if we are back in the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roberta S.

As we have stayed previously and numerous times on these properties listed under this host there is only one way to explain each visit.....it just gets better and better! We could not ask for a better stay anywhere in the beautiful mountains of Lake Lure. Our visit this year once again was outstanding. The property is so comfortable. It is secluded and quiet with only the daily music presented to you from the rustling forest along with the small animals and birds in their performance playing, singing and talking to each other. All the while enjoying and relaxing on the porch in a front row seat. It just doesn't get any better than this. It was a perfect. stay. Our hosts are amazing at how engaged and available they always are to assure their guests have everything you need and more, before and during your stay. Thank you Liz and Kyle for everything!! ##### Roberta S. Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Linda L. May 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointed Cute but too cozy for 4 adults and 4 children. Lots of sleeping beds but the basement area that slept 5 was very damp and musty, even with a dehumidifier. No detergent for dishwasher or washer. Washer/dryer were working poorly. You Could NOT walk to beach, DIRT road was curvy, windy, narrow and dangerous to walk. Plus the beach is over a mile away. No toaster and be sure to bring your own trash bags and toilet paper. ##### Linda L. Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric C.

We have stayed in many properties here. Lake Lure never disappoints. The scenery is amazing. We love Chimney Rock as well. On arrival we were greeted by a flock of wild turkeys! The cabin was cozy but had plenty of room for our family of 5. We enjoyed the fire place at night and porch sitting in the afternoon. The cabin is remote so be prepared for a few minute drive up dirt roads. But this also means its very quite and private. We barely saw anyone else our entire time there. The mattresses were very comfortable! The stone showers were unique and provided a spa like experience. Because we cooked 2-3 meals we would have preferred the kitchen be a little better stocked. The cook ware was a little inadequate. The smoke alarm upstairs was a little sensitive after showers. We had to make sure the door was closed for a while. Overall we had a great time and if you are looking for a quite peaceful cabin, this is it. ##### Eric C. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucy Y. Apr 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Ups and downs The owners are very good at communicating at first but after a while they just dont reply no more. If you have little ones pack a baby gate and first aid kits. There is a ledge in the upstairs bathroom and a ledge that goes up from the living room to the kitchen area. So my babies got hurt a bit had to go buy first aid kit stuff. We brought our mom and it was rough for her to go to the bedroom upstairs. We had to take her home on the second day because it was to much work for her. The stairs going down is very steep after the first night no one went down there no more. The lake is a 10 min drive not walk. If you are allergic to pets i would not recommend because there is pet hair everywhere. Had to spin clothes extra time in washer dryer was not that great either .Ok now for the ups pretty decor saw a bear right by the porch. Was quiet. The lake is beautiful. Scenery was great. My mom had fun fishing. Beautiful wrap around porch. ##### Lucy Y.
