We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. We found everything we needed to spend the week relaxing. When we decided to roast hot dogs by the fire pit, Papa joined us. My son and I ran inside and watched him eat only the hot dogs that were cooked. It was a memory we will never forget. The lake was beautiful and relaxing and the cabin is a short drive to the town of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock Village and Asheville. We would stay here again but we will keep all cooking indoors.

Riverbend is a lovely community, with a nice beach for children. The house was as pictured and comfortable for our group. A few improvements would turn a good place into great. Upstairs bed-one could feel the springs- downstairs bed was a bit too soft for bad backs, internet was not sufficient for work or streaming (if you want to watch a movie, or need to check in at work). Although we requested 2 gate passes, we were told we needed to get by with one. Unfortunately due to gate problems, we could only get through with the pass, and our group had to wait for / or meet each other to get through. We could have called the owner on the phone, but this seemed inconvenient on a regular basis. (Outdoor furniture would be nice for meals outside.

House was really nice. It was clean and fit our need for a stay while attending a wedding in the area. The air conditioner broke on Saturday and after 3 calls Liz got it taken care of on a Sunday!! Much appreciated!! The place needs some minor repairs but was a still a good value at the price! The biggest issues besides the A/C was access to the place. It was a 10 minute drive from the entrance during the day but at night it was very difficult to see the roads do to no lighting! Getting in to the secure gate was also a little bit of a pain as we had 3 cars and after 6 ( no attendee ) you have to punch in a code which was a not always easy. Great place if you were staying at the house and doing things on the lake. We were not so that is why it was more difficult. I would defintely like to come back and play with the toys on the lake!!

I emailed the day before to see about check in info since it’s supposed to come the week prior via email. I did not receive a reply. I arrived at a back gate up a mountain in the pouring rain with my 3 kids crying and we couldn’t get in. I called the property manager 6 times w/ no answer. She replies via text and then sends the check in info then at nearly 5pm. You have to go to a separate address which is a church near the front gate. This would have been great to know beforehand as we had been standing in the pouring rain trying to open a gate while waiting for liz to answer. The bed downstairs is not like the picture, it’s basically on the ground.. the upstairs bed is HARD. The WiFi is nearly none existent. No ones tablet would load and I had to sit in my truck to use my WiFi hotspot in order to work. The cabin is in a good location with a fun lake for swimming but it’s about an 8 minute ride on gravel roads to get to the main road. There is no trash pick up, you have to bring trash to the front which was not told to us prior. The drains are all incredibly slow so you’re standing in water while showering and the shower curtain has mildew. It was cute but could use some cleaning and updating for example the plates, silverware and comforters. Host provided beach towels and toys which was great. Not all the lights work and the bulbs are dim. Also only one key card is provided. This is an inconvenience when others are staying with you. The downstairs is incredibly HOT, the ac works great upstairs but downstairs was always hot. There were cigarette butts on the lawn and in the flower pots which I assume is from previous guests but still gross.

The house looked small from the outside. Once we walked in we were amazed at the space inside. Everyone had room and no on was on top of each other. If you have children this is a big deal. The house had all the necessary thing for a week stay. The fire pit was a nice place to retire to every night for s’mores. The area around d the house had so much to offer without even leaving the community. The beach area was 5 mins down the rd and we had a great time there. Across the Ed from the beach was a little walk to war the kids could use tubes and go down the little river there. Hiking had a lot of choices to choose from that were close. We loved this place and had a great time. Thank you for sharing this place with us.
