Owl's Nest Cabin. Romantic Cabin on beautiful Lake Lure!

Overall, our stay was pleasant and relaxing. The space itself was cozy and inviting—small, but it felt homey and comfortable. We slept great; the area was wonderfully dark at night with no intrusive streetlights, which made for a peaceful rest. The hot tub was already heated when we arrived, which was a thoughtful touch and saved us the wait. It was also clean and free of bugs, which we appreciated. There were a few areas that could use attention. The listing photos should be updated, as it appears the lake shown is no longer there—likely due to Hurricane Helene. That space is now an active construction area with workers and trucks. While we understand natural disasters are beyond anyone’s control, the lake view was one of the main reasons we booked. Inside, the bedroom window didn’t close completely, making it a bit chilly at night. The space heater provided only worked intermittently before shutting off, and the fireplace was disabled, which was disappointing given the cooler weather. We also noticed a few small housekeeping details: there was very little coffee left with no cream or sugar, and a cluster of dead bugs under the DVD player. Outside, the propane grill lacked a tank, so we weren’t able to use it for dinner as planned. Despite these minor inconveniences, we truly enjoyed our stay. The location is quiet and peaceful, and the overall experience was still positive. I personally loved the cool nights—though my wife might say otherwise after freezing a bit!

Very nice cabin very cozy. Nice grill, easy access to the lake and two pounds to fish in

Everything was perfect

I did not know that there was not lake at all, no water in the lake at all. Instead there was machinery for the construction. equipment making so much noise in the mornings 7am of Saturday and Sunday till late afternoon. I do admire all this work they doing for the future benefit of the community and tourism, howevwer, We did not expected that.

Very cute and nearby to all activities. Enjoyed our time there.

The cabin was stocked as stated. I was disappointed with the lack of view of the lake compared to the picture. Aware of the extreme heat outside but the cool air just can’t seem to make it to the bedroom. The ac split system was in the den (opposite end of the cabin). The floors were not clean as there was even dog food on the floor beside the couch. The pots and pans and cookie sheet definitely had not be cleaned in awhile. It is very quiet and loved that!!! We will definitely give it another try.

Wonderful location and very peaceful.

Very relaxing short stay

Spent a good amount of time sipping wine, listening to the bullfrogs, and sitting in the rockers. Extremely enjoyable. Csbin is perfect for a romantic getaway

Everything was exactly as advertised

The cabin was wonderful, very quiet area. The only thing I didn't like was the road on the property. The whole are is beautiful, with plenty to see and do, even off season. I would definitely go back there!

Thanks Jim for sharing your beautiful property with us again. This was our 6th stay at Pine Gables and we can’t wait to come back!
