Not right on the lake however great house and fire pit and super clea

We chose this location for the spaciousness of the home, modern look and it was dog friendly. We we're excited about the gas fireplace, fire pit and were looking forward to being able to use the grill to prepare some of our meals during our stay. The bed in the bedroom on the main level of the home sits on a very low metal bed frame. It almost looks like it is on the floor. However, the mattress is comfortable. It is different from the picture. We considered moving to the bedroom upstairs but, I have mobility challenges and I wouldn't be able to make it up and down the stairs. Also, the mattress upstairs didn't seem as comfortable when I felt it. The dining room chairs were stained/ dirty and the stove was dirty. I spoke with Liz about this. She apologized and said she would let the housekeeper know. During our stay the power went out for several hours. We were happy to have the gas fireplace to keep us toasty and flashlights inside the home. When I called Liz to find out if this was isolated or the entire community. I was advised it was the entire community. Some of the dinnerware should be replaced as they are chiped. Some of the bakeware could be replaced as well. On the last afternoon of our stay the fireplace ran out of gas. I did advise Liz. The temperature dropped to 27 degrees outside that night and it was a bit chilly even with the central heat turned up. Also, when my fiance turned the gas grill on the last night of our stay the grill caught on fire. My fiance used the fire extinguisher in the kitchen to put the grill out and there was no damage. I sent pictures of the grill to Liz to show that there was no damage. The grill hasn't been maintained well. We enjoyed the quiet peaceful community. Our dog had a wonderful time exploring the yard. It was good to get away from the city. Liz provided good directions to the home and the check in information was listed on the email sent prior to arrival.

Overall we had a great experience and had an amazing weekend. Extremely easy check in. Communication with the property manager was incredible. Can't wait to stay again.

From the cabin to the scenery, the quiet of nature and the love of family this experience was 5 stars

Would not rent again or receive to others.

It was a nice small group getaway for my boyfriend's birthday. The property was a little tough to get to (but that is expected in the mountains) and the owner/manager did not provide the key code prior to arrival but in the end, all went smoothly. I'm not sure if it was pandemic-related but we had to bring our own hand soap and trash bags as well as additional paper towels and toilet paper. We had such a great time and would rent again.

Beautiful property with ample room for 6 adults. The bedroom with twin beds was not comfy and the internet was slow but we had fun for a couple nights hiking and playing games. Also note soap for the bathrooms was not provided.

We loved the trail! So much to see!

The house was perfect for my mother's 80th Bday. Lots of room and a big dining room table to seat us all. There is an Ingells grocery store very close to the house and close to other attractions too. The only suggestion I would make is to include a map to help get to the house from the front gate. Had a great time in very nice property

Great location, loved that they had 2 kayaks for us to use! Very clean place and dog friendly.

It was great. We were able to enjoy the lake and river. Nearby to a lot of activities.

A great vacation location that has something for everyone. The lakes and water activities, the hiking and outdoor activities, the local restaurants and activities in Asheville. The property is like new, spacious, well appointed, with all the amenities for a family vacation. The owners take great care to think of everything. Looking forward to next year.

We really enjoyed our visit to Lake Lure. The property was perfect for our group of 6 (4 kids and 2 adults). The kids varied across entertainment ideas, and there was definitely something for each and every one of us. The kayaks were great and when there ended up being a missing oar, Emily was quick to get it replaced so we could get out. The firepit area was perfect for roasting marshmallows and we loved tubing from the top of the river to the swimming hole. Big Lick Lake (the larger lake in the private community) was perfect for us for each day as an easy place to relax on the beach. We did rent a pontoon boat one day to get out on Lake Lure and that was also a ton of fun. Overall we were really happy. There were some kitchen items that have sort of reached the end of their life and could use a few replacements, but overall we were able to make due. One other thing would be to just double check the flashlights available. We lost power one night and none of the flashlights had working batteries. The power came back on after a few minutes, so it wasn't a huge deal, but it's just a suggestion for safety measures. We will definitely re-book this home. Thank you for hosting us!!!

Very nice accommodations. Comfortable. Liked the community, especially the different places to swim within. The house was adequately stocked with towels and kitchen gadgets etc. It was in a great location.

location and property were great....could use some seating chairs in the back to enjoy the yard area.....maybe an extended deck...kitchen a bit dirty...maybe replace the grill...otherwise, we enjoyed our stay

This was a great property for our family weekend away! Not only was the owner prompt and informative but the house was full of thoughtful touches.

This trip was for a girls family member weekend with five adults and three small children. We live in different cities and met in the middle to spend time together. The pictures are an accurate representation of the house. The fire pit is a nice amenity. There is no wi-fi and cell service is very spotty. There is a "hot spot" to use but it is EXTREMELY slow because of the limited cell service. The kitchen is lacking some of the essentials - cutting knives, full set of silverware, drinking glasses, etc. Same with towels and sheets - lacking in quantity and quality. Also, it's in a gated community that needs a card to access. Only one card comes with the rental and with our situation it was a hassle at times. We would not stay here again but it's a fine place for the price.

This was not a good property to bring older adults. We would prefer not to elaborate.

Great family fun here !

If you want a relaxing, quiet stay, this is your place. We felt like we were the only two people on the mountain. Great fire pit, everything you need in the kitchen, beautiful bedroom on main floor, great water pressure, lots of light. Internet is very spotty, so put your laptop down and go kayaking on the gorgeous lake there.

Be sure to go to the swimming hole in the neighborhood! A little tough to find on our gps. I would have appreciated a little detergent. Towels could use a bit of an upgrade, so bring your own. Close proximity to Chimney Rock, which was adorable town. Owner was friendly and attentive.

We had a great family vacation at the Riverbend House. The house was clean, very roomy for our family of 6 and met all of our expectations and more. We loved the community. We hope to return yearly. Thanks for the memories!!

Had a very nice time at this comfortable home. Lots of privacy and quiet down time for our family. The kids and dogs lived the yard and exploring through the woods. A beautiful place for long walks every afternoon. The lake is lovely and the river walk was great for the kids to splash around in. The firepit was a hit with the kids. Highly reccomend .

Overall we loved our stay. Our only complaint is that the yard that was spoken of so much in the listing, was not mowed (grass was quite high) when we arrived. We arrived on Monday and notified the owners as soon as we arrived. It was not mowed until Friday (the last day of our stay). It was rainy throughout the week; however, we managed to do something each day outdoors without rain, so we feel it could have been mowed sooner. An attempt was made on Tuesday, but was told the lawn mower broke and they would return that evening or the next morning; however, wasn't done until Friday. Other than that, our stay was wonderful. Owners are quick to respond to any questions and have thought of just about everything you could need in the cabin. There are two kayaks, but no life jackets, so if you want to use those, make sure you bring some life jackets with you. Also, if using GPS, use the address to the front gate that they will give you instead of the actual cabin address to begin with. Ours brought us in a back way and then we had to find our way out to the front gate to check in. The cabin was perfect for our family of 5 and we had a great vacation. We loved the beach, lake, and waterfall right up the road. Also, if you are viewing from your phone, you may not see the $100 cleaning fee that must be left when you leave. We were told as soon as we booked it could be left in cash or check. Please note that the check must also be made out to cash. Overall we are glad we chose this location and took away some awesome family vacation memories.

A very comfortable and inviting home in a private setting. We enjoyed walks to the river daily. A great spot for a family vacation.

House was everything we needed to make it a nice vacation

Very nice home. Bright and spacious and very comfortable throughout. Large yard and lots of privacy. We enjoyed the firepit in the evening. Home is close enough to town for meals but definitely a home in the mountains. Very clean and well kept. We hope to return in the fall.
