Lake Lure, North Carolina
The River House is a large home located in Chimney Rock and is within walking distance of Chimney Rock Village, NC, the Chimney Rock State Park entrance, and beautiful Lake Lure, NC, where Dirty Dancing was filmed. The River House sleeps 18. We are located on Main Street in the village of Chimney Rock and our home sits on the Rocky Broad River. We have 4 decks overlooking the river and plenty of seating for a large group to dine/grill outside overlooking the Rocky Broad River. The River House can host large groups/families of up to 18 people (children/babies, seniors, and all age groups are welcome!) with lots of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the Rocky Broad River (you can swim and fish in the river right behind the house and there are plenty of big rocks to play on and/or lay out in the sun!) and all the fun activities nearby (ziplining, horseback riding, rock climbing, and hiking in Chimney Rock State Park, just to name a few of the activities).
The River House is available to be rented out by a group/family and closed to the public when the whole house is rented. We keep the VRBO calender updated constantly so if the date shows available on this calender, it is available for your group to rent the whole house.
Location was great and boys enjoyed being on river! Outdoor space is small but beautiful view.
We had a marvelous time in the beautiful house by the river. It is great location for multigenerational family vacation. The river is so soothing and the views from the house are lovely. The house has everything you need to have lovely meals in a big group and hanging time with family in the living room. Steve was super helpful with all pre planning and was always prompt with his responses. Thank you for sharing your house with us.
Great location, walking distance to town. We all enjoyed the sound of the river. I would highly recommend this location for large groups.
Great large house with plenty of bedrooms directly on the river. The porch was great and we spent every morning and night on it. A direct walk to some restaurants and cute shops. The owner was fantastic to work with and was very nice! Enjoyed our stay!
This house is amazing! It was just my family of 4 and the property was perfect. It was fun examining all of the bedrooms. The River room only has an outside entrance, and after one night my youngest son moved inside. It would be a great room for someone who is looking for alone time. We spent the majority of our inside time at the kitchen counter/bar playing games and our outside time on the main level deck. The view is beyond description. The house is literally at the edge of the river. You can easily walk the rocks down to the river and fish. (We caught one!) Perfect spot to relax. The sound of the river babbling over the rocks is hypnotic. If you look up, you can see Chimney Rock. It is directly ahead of the house! We liked watching the flag being raised and lowered. The dedicated parking is important because the road was lined with cars. We walked the town every day (about 10 minute to the other side of town). You have to drive into Chimney Rock park and the entrance is about a 1 minute drive. The beginning of Lake Lure Village is maybe 5 minutes away. The location is great. I highly recommend staying here, but be warned that Chimney Rock restaurant hours are frustrating so plan dinners out in advance because you may not have an open place at times. Counter space at the house is very minimal so storing a lot of non-refrigerated food is tricky. We kept everything on the island in the kitchen and the dining room table.. it was an amazing vacation and we all would return in a heartbeat. (Kids are 16 and 18 and loved it)
the kids loved having the river in their backyard
Beautiful, unique home in an unbeatable location with great views of the river and park. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out between the main floor and patios. The kitchen is well appointed with everything needed to cook dinner for a group. We only wish we’d booked a longer stay as you can spend a whole day on the deck listening to the river.
Everything we hoped it would be! We had a great stay at the roomie River House. 17 family and friends gathered for my husband’s surprise 60th birthday celebration and everyone was extremely pleased with the comfort of their rooms, plenty of gathering space in the dining room and the decks, and the convenience of the house’s proximity to Chimney Rock park and town shops and restaurants. Having the Broad River literally right in the back yard added perfect ambiance and fun! All the basic supplies and utensils provided for in the kitchen and very clean bathrooms was extremely appreciated! We would stay here again in heart beat!
We could not have asked for a better experience! From the moment we made the reservation, Steve was in contact right away. He was flexible with our needs and made the check in process a breeze. The large house is beautiful with plenty of bedrooms and space. The best part though is the spectacular view with easy to access to the river. We were sad to only have a short weekend and highly recommend staying as long as possible!
Our family spent a week here during the Christmas holidays and a wonderful time was had by all! We watched old movies, listened to albums, had fun playing card games, and spent lots of time at the huge dining table enjoying our family meals. Overall experience was great and would definitely stay here again.
