Private log cabin on the lake! Beach/waterfall/ dogs.

The cabin is a little dated. Leaving a 125.00 for cleaning when we only stayed 2 nights is a little excessive especially when it wasn't very clean when we arrived. The map we were given at the entry gate was horrible. It was handwritten and so small you could hardly read it. A few of the street signs are wrong which made it very confusing to navigate the gravel roads. Several of lights we're out including the front porch. The decks and porches had not been swept in quite a while. I can't remember if the difficulty in driving those roads was mentioned in the rental ad but if not, it should be! There was a gentleman at the gate when we arrived and asked if it was our first visit, we said yes but he didn't give us any instruction on getting to the cabin. Just handed us a map we couldn't read. Due to the difficulty getting back to the cabin at night we wouldn't stay there again.

The inside of the cabin was clean and acceptable. There was a lamp by the sink that provided the only light because the ceiling light did not work. The deck outside had huge cobwebs. The steps to the dock were rotten with big holes which is a safety hazard. The two kayaks were not usable because the seats were broken and there was no pedal boat available even though the description said there was one. We did use the canoe to enjoy the lake. After the second day a big wet spot appeared beside the picnic table with fowl smelling water. We had a good stay in spite of the condition of the property but would not stay there again.

Overall, the cabin itself is pretty nice and comfortable. Check-in was easy, the cabin was neat and clean. The basic supplies such as garbage bags and dishwasher detergent are lacking. The biggest problem is the inaccurate descriptions of ameneties along with the horrible condition of what is there. There is no paddle boat, there is no hammock, the picinic table has at least one rotten board in the middle of it, the steps leading to the dock are rotten and unsafe (one collapsed when I stepped on it) I would post pictures if reviews would accept them, there are a few rotten boards in the dock, the railing on the left side of the dock is not attached and is unsafe, the area around the dock is thick muck and unsuitable for swimming access, the fire pit is rusted through and collapsed to the side, one of the plastic chairs by the fire pit had a leg broken off and was thrown up by the side of the cabin, the other plastic chairs don't feel safe to sit in. Overall, if you forget about using anything down by the waterside, the cabin is very nice. The back deck overlooking the water is a great place to just sit and relax or have a meal.

Pros: Comfortable rustic house. Good lake location and access. Nice to have kayaks, canoe, fishing gear, and swim floats available. Beds were comfortable. Owners were responsive when contacted about issues (burnt out lightbulbs). Cons: Septic effluent leaking to surface (by stairs to dock) anytime shower, laundry, or dishwasher were used. Railing on dock was wobbly - potential safety hazard. Sheets had holes in them. One bedroom door warped so bottom did not fully close resulting in lack of privacy. Very squeeky interior doors. Dusty under all couches and arm chairs. Overall: cabin has lots of potential but premium rental and cleaning fees were not equivalent to what was provided.

Dated. Needs updating. Doors don’t close well. Worn furniture and linens. No effort made to take care of the outside areas, which is important for a rental like this one. It’s on a pond next to lake Lure, not lake Lure. Wouldn’t rent again.

This cabin was mostly decent. Fairly clean except for some of the corners and we found a few dirty dishes in cabinets. Pics in listing seemed to be older pics and things were a little more run down. Dock railing had come away from post on one side and was a little dangerous. Area around dock was mucky and not a good place to put in to swim. We were interupted in our pajamas having breakfast on deck by people coming to pump out septic tank and they left a big muddy mound in yard from the digging . That was a little annoying and not the breakfastI atmosphere I wanted. I understand these things have to be done but a heads up would have been appreciated. The home was well stocked and mostly comfortable. The listing had a paddle/peddle boat which we were looking forward to but it wasnt there. It should be removed from amenities list. There was also a hammock which was broken and filthy tossed under the deck. Despite some of the cons we enjoyed ourselves. I just think listing needs updated so expectations are met and that dock needs repaired ASAP!

When we arrived for our scheduled stay we found that there were already people staying in the house! We contacted the host and their property manager told us that the owner decided to let her daughter use the cabin for the same time that we had reserved! So, there we were with our fully packed car and dog with no place to stay because the owner made a mistake! To be fair, they did offer us the use of a different house but it wasn't on the lake, it didn't have direct access to the water, it didn't have kayaks or a canoe, and it had a ton of stairs that would have made it difficult for us to get our belongings into the house. I asked them to have the owners daughter move but the owner declined. They kept insisting the replacement house was better, but apparently it wasn't good enough for the owner's daughter to move to. They didn't even offer a discount on their other house until I stated that we didn't like the replacement house. The owner then chose to get an attitude with me (as if I had no right to be upset that they ruined our vacation), and falsely accused me of being vulgar and making threats, which isn't true. This owner didn't even seem to care that they ruined our vacation because they mismanaged their booking calendar!

Wonderful cabin on beautiful lake. We enjoyed this cabin & beautiful view of lake. Sat in swing on front poorch & rockers. Enjoyed eating breakfast & lunch on back poorch facing lake. Had wonderful fire in firepit. Love this cabin.

We enjoyed our stay in this nice secluded cabin. Nice view of the lake and adequate amenities in the cabin. The cabin itself is rustic and well used but it was clean upon arrival. The back patio was full of dog hair and the septic system needed some attention. We were never checked on by the owners but I suppose that’s how they roll. They always answered our questions. If you have any mobility issues, getting down to the lake is quite the challenge. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Beautiful view of the lake! Owners very responsive with any issues.

We had a blast!!! There is so much to do and see we are already wanting to plan a trip back to this cute cabin.
