We rented this house for my 50th birthday along with two other families. The house is older, but its uniqueness and location more than make up for it. We had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend.

The house is large, comfortable, and almost overhanging a beautiful rushing creek. We could have sat by or in the water the whole week, but there's also a lot to do and explore in the Lake Lure area.

Quiet and relaxing

Overall, the house and location were great and I would book again. Booked for a family Christmas vacation and was disappointed that the owners didn’t decorate for the holidays. We went to the store and decorated ourselves. Only had one issue with the fireplace but the communication was great and they had someone there to check it quickly.

Enjoyed our stay, property was comfortable and accommodating. Adequate space for ten adults to enjoy one another and still have privacy! Loved the second family room! Saved us girls from having to endure football all day Saturday!

As always we had a great vacation. Couldn’t beat this beautiful location. The tubes were blown up and perfect for tubing from property. House is old and quirky but fine with us. Our only complaint was pet urine smell in one bedroom and really bad off little deck. Other then that, all tvs worked and appliances. No other complaints.

Great little place for our family "retreat". The spot on the river was great for just watching the river and wildlife, little fishing, river wading/swimming, tubing and kayaking. The partnership with community is excellent. Tube down the horseshoe in river to "Ye old swimming hole" and the lake was right above. Perfect for kayaking and swimming. We were really impressed with the canoe provided but did not utilize it. So many places for hikes and other activities! Several big tables where our families played games every night. The house is charming and was an excellent venue for our family. **previous guests must have brought pets and left on porch of kitchen/bedroom. The deck smelled strongly of dog urine. I reached out to property manager couple times but did not get response during vacation. The number of towels was very limited. But it was not terrible because we had brought our own. Overall this was an excellent little house, excellent location, and generally well cared for. We enjoyed our stay very much. We would stay again without hesitation. We would recommend. Thank you River's Rest for a great week packed with fun for our families.

The location, nearby river rapids is beautiful. The fire pit is in a great spot right along side the river. It could use closer attention to provisioning. There were only 5 trash bags provided and we had to buy more and only 5 dishwasher detergent pods which was just enough. A lack of glassware required that we run the dishwasher after every meal. The second floor shower had a slow drain. A great spot that needs a little more TLC.

First of all inspite of all that I will relay, my brother, sisters and their spouses and I had a fantastic time being with each other. The yard was not mowed so no pleasure outside. The front deck had dead leaves and debris on it. The code to unlock the door worked like it should. I got there first and checked out the house and the inside was cleaned and presentable. Once every one arrived they picked out their room and we proceeded to make arrangements for our evening repast. When everyone got ready to retire we realized that the upper rooms were hot and lights would not turn on or outlets wouldn't work. We purchased an extension cord and oscillating fan so they could circulate hot air. The next morning I called the property manager and they sent someone over who informed us we must have gremlins. This guy is telling this to adults over 50 plus. He got the outlets working but said he would need to get the ac serviceman out to work on the unit. If he couldn't he would make sure we had at least a window unit for the evening. In the meantime he wanted us to lower the first floor ac units so it would cool the upper level. So freeze out the areas we were socializing in. He never called us back with an update and did not bring an ac unit. We made do by duck taping screens that did not fit in the window so we could get fresh air in the upper levels. Then we loaded the dishwasher and thinking we had set it to run only to find out in the morning that it never ran. Dishes were still dirty and the detergent was still in the activation area. So we tried it again. No luck in getting it to run. OK wash dishes. I am not this critical but when you pay this kind of money and 6 months in advance for family members you haven't seen in over 3 years and coming from many states away North and South and East, you expect to have a stress free experience. The pictures must be from when they first started renting and nothing like what you get. We will have another sibling reunion next year but it won't be with this rental or these property managers. I was very disappointed and embarrassed for my siblings whom I was treating to this outing. Keep looking.

We enjoyed the relaxing sound of the water and the activities surrounding the area. Looking forward to coming back.

Overall, beautiful property for a rental. The house itself is showing its age and erosion, with outdated furniture and a sagging foundation. However, it was the perfect rental for my family over Christmas. 4 couples, one single adult and 2 kids all got their own space and the backyard and surrounding neighborhood were awesome! Definitely not enough dishes, and there was very little soap/detergent so we brought our own. A few rooms have double beds which were difficult for some couples, but we made it work. Plenty of kitchen and lounging space in the house and outside. Loved our experience!

Beautiful property on the river. Perfect for us and our grandchildren. Plenty of room.

The location was perfect for site seeing. Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village were enjoyable. The house was very roomy but could use some attention. The cleaning service missed a few key areas but nothing to be overly critical. Overall, this house was perfect for our large family.

Peacefully property!!! and lush nature around. we had a great weekend with family and friends; we enjoyed barbecue and bonfire with mashmellows facing the river. lush nature and autumn season. Perfect stay , we will return next year . my kids want to enjoy the river in summer season!!!!

Wonderful riverfront location- rushing water is peaceful, great hammock on river bank, large decks to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. Right off busy road, but when on river side, hear little except occasional loud motorcycle. Home is dated, not a lot of cabinets in kitchen for groceries, some wear and tear visible, but location makes up for those minor things. Trash disposal is close and convenient. Wonderful fire ring on property overlooking river. Canoe is located on small lake nearby, easily accessible by car. There are floats for river and life jackets and paddles for canoe if want to use. We enjoyed our stay with only a couple of minor issues. Bring your own metal coat hangers for smores. Would rent again.

Not sure where to start. It almost feels like the property owner is waiting for the home to collapse to collect the insurance. Holes above windows where curtain brackets should be. Holes in hollow doors. Sleeps 12 but only has 8 drinking glasses had to buy plastic cups. Stove top heating elements smoked first time use from not being cleaned properly. Well water had overwhelming sulfur smell in master bath. no night nights for bathrooms. Hard to navigate at night. What REALLY concerned me were clumps of long black hair in the master bath. We both have short gray hair. Yuk. Also, dust and dirt gathered between the night stand and wall in master bedroom. Maids don't check the floors? Obvious bad paint jobs on doors and overhead light fixtures. My goodness, I know it was a great price but even if the home is dated it could have at least been well maintained. Retaining wall to protect the property from the river rising has collapsed.

Property was great for our stay. Particularly enjoyed sitting outside with the babbling of the river,

This home was perfect for our family vacation. Thr home had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with all of our cooking needs. Our absolute favorite part was the location on the water and the children being able to play in the water. Would recommend!

This place is a nice cabin right on the river with lots of outdoor activities near by. It's an older house with minimal updates, but it makes up for it with the views and proximity to the water. My family and I had a great time tubing in the river and it's super nice that some tubes are provided. I recommend this place and will absolutely consider coming back.

Great location. Nice to have the amenities of river bend community next door. Property could use some upkeep.

This property was a great getaway. It was worth my friends and family's time. I actually have other family members that want me to rent it again in the future. The river was the best view ever. We got rained on Saturday but we were still able to enjoy such a view. The water is also beautiful.

We had a very restful 2 night stay at this location. The home is exactly as advertised and a picture perfect location. Plenty of room for our group and enjoyed eating breakfast overlooking the river each morning. Very close to the chimney rock village and local restaurants. Our boys enjoyed the canoeing over at Riverbend next door. . Can’t wait to go again!

Fun time on the River property was very well maintained. Great place to stay. Would book again.

Beautiful property next to the river. The layout was perfect for accommodating adults and children. The gas fireplace was great for ambiance as well as light when the power had gone out the first night we were there--not because of the property itself, rather a large section of Lake Lure lost power briefly. What really stood out was the customer service of Carolina Properties. They kept me informed both of the status of the power situation and the steps they were taking via text. Great communication before, during, and after our stay.

We had a great weekend! This house was awesome! The master bathroom has an old tub which was my only negative. Everyone had their own room so It was plenty large enough for my husband and I, our three children and their significant others. It was a perfect place to continue to social distance and yet be together as a family. I would love to go back in the summer and enjoy the River.

Everyone in our family group enjoyed this property, including the four-legged guests. The decks overlooking the river, the views through the A-frame windows from the living room and the lofts, the woods around the house and along the river...all excellent. The bonfire pit, outdoor grill, and large gas fireplace in the living room were a hit, as well. I really like the house, as well, and would like to see some updates in a few of the bedrooms and some very minor repairs that could make this place a 5-star rental experience for years to come. Also, being pet-friendly is a huge bonus for many families for sure.

We have a heating issue. They were so responsive and got the issue fixed promptly. Excellent customer service and the house was perfect for our family. Look forward to visiting again

We enjoyed our stay as usual! Love going to this property

Located directly on the river. Spacious living area with 2 childproof decks. Loved it and would stay again. That being said it is an older home that’s shows it’s age cosmetically. Realistically this is a 4 bedroom home. Neither the loft nor upper room have doors, closets or access to bathrooms. They would be great for older children and teens but not adults.

Very peaceful. Loved sitting out on deck, listening to water going over rocks. Everyone loved going down the rapids. Was great that they were accessible right on property.

Loved the location of this home, part of river bend but not having to pass the guard station, but able to use amenities. This is an older home, so some works, like bedroom fan light wouldn’t go off so we had to unscrew hot bulbs.... or bathroom drainage problems, but nothing terrible. Loved decks and all the TVs. Great rental.

This was the 2nd time we stayed at this property. We absolutely love this home and being right on the river. We look forward to going there again. Love it!!
