Easy accommodations, fast communication, nice view. No reason not to book. Easy drive to wherever you need to go.

We rented this cabin because we were attending a funeral for my cousin in Forest City. This cabin had beds for all 6 adults. Excellent price per night and we stayed 2 nights. Of course, the extra fees increased the cost, but split among the family members, was very reasonable. Overall, a nice place to stay together with family. CONS: Gravel roads, distant cabin, steep driveway (felt like being at the top of a roller coaster), no ice maker, plastic mattress covers on twin beds (ask me how I know!), tiny pillows (bring you own!). There could be more coffee cups available. We had 6 adults, and one of the cups was cracked and ended up leaking all over the counter (we left a note so they could replace it). PROS: Clean, fairly new, bright (could use some dimmers for the pot lights or bigger lamps in the main area), screened porch (lovely mountain views, but we were there on a rainy weekend), one level living, which was great for my 89 year old mother, beautiful and spacious main bedroom. Plush towels were wonderful! Bed linens were crisp and smelled clean.

Great location, very quiet. The house has everything you need.

Pros: Beautiful property in a quiet gated community with lovely views. Close to the cute resort towns of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village. Super quiet, super clean, lots of room. Views from the HUGE back porch are amazing. Cons: If you are planning on spending a lot of time in Asheville proper this may not be the place for you as, even though, only 22 miles from Asheville, it is through a curvy, steep, kiss-your- butt curves kind of road. It takes at least a one to one and half hours to get to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. A lot of the restaurants in Lake Lure and Chimney Rock are not open for dinner. We mainly cooked breakfast and dinner in the cabin and ate lunch out. Advice: We found an alternate route that was not any less time, but not as difficult a drive. I would definitely use this route if you are coming in at night like we did. Not as many of those curving mountain roads. Basically you take I-40 east to Hwy 221 south (Rutherdfordton exit), take this until you get to the 64/74 junction. Go West here into Lake Lure. From there your GPS will get you to the Riverbed front gated entrance. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again if we are ever in the area again.

Everything about the home was outstanding.
