We had originally booked this cabin for October 2024, but as many may know Helene swept through in late September. We had to cancel our reservation due to the damage to the town. We had hear great things about the recovery of Lake Lure and when we went to book a cabin, this cabin was available for our dates! Let me tell you it was worth the wait. The cabin itself was incredibly cosy, and in an amazing location. We were 5 minutes from Grey Hawk, an amazing local restaurant and coffee shop that we visited multiple times. It took us less than 15 minutes to get from the cabin to Rumbling Bald for some hiking and climbing! It never felt inconvenient to do anything in and around town due to the location. The jacuzzi was outstanding as well, and much needed after a couple long days of physical activity. The master bed was so comfortable, I slept like a baby both night- which is rare for me. All in all, this was worth the wait and I’m so glad we got a second chance to experience Mary Ann’s Cabin!

Cabin was clean and it had all what we need. We experienced strong septic smell inside the master bedroom. Host sent Maitenance crew to mitigate discomfort. Also, WiFi service was very poor.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is in a stunning mountain location, and the peaceful setting and views made it a true getaway. The space was clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed. Check-in was smooth, and the overall experience was very positive.A couple of things to note for future guests:The primary bedroom did not have a TV, which wasn’t a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of if that’s important to you.The loft beds were not very comfortable, and could use an upgrade for better sleep support.The internet/Wi-Fi was spotty at times, but that comes with the territory when staying up in the mountains — so plan accordingly if you need a strong connection.Even with those small cons, we still had a great time and would stay again. The charm of the cabin and the surrounding nature easily outweigh the negatives. It’s the perfect spot if you're looking to unwind, enjoy the mountains, and disconnect a bit.Would recommend for a mountain retreat!

Cozy Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners promptly responded to all our emails before and during the stay. The property is decorated to reflect a mountain lake lifestyle. The kitchen was well equipped, and a sufficient amount of linens were available. Coffee on the deck in the mornings was a delight! We plan to book this property again.

This cabin is adorable. It’s just like living in Grammas house. Well stocked with everything we needed. Only minor issue was the TV reception. Keep in mind it rained the whole time we were there. Reception was difficult. It was harder on my husband than me. Would love to stay sometime in future!

This is a great place for a quiet relaxing stay. It is a quick 10 minute drive to the main town or the grocery store. The cabin was well-maintained and has all the amenities you would need in a home rental. The owner communicated quickly with me about check-in and was available if anything came up. There are a lot of outdoor activities near this place and I would recommend this stay to anyone who likes the outdoors. The only minor issue is that the satellite tv was fairly hit or miss when we were home but we were not there to watch tv so for us it wasn't an issue. Would defintley return to this cabin!

Great Cabin Near Chimney Rock and Lake Lure

The cabin was well stocked for our stay, although we did not cook any meals while we were there. The bathrooms were also adequately stocked with supplies, towels and washcloths. The cabin appeared very clean, and all of the light switches were labeled for convenience. We were happy to find that the bed in the master bedroom (downstairs) had a memory foam topper and was comfortable to sleep in. There were plenty of pillows as well. The location was was easy to access with adequate room for parking off the street. We also enjoyed the gas fireplace and the satellite TV while relaxing at the cabin. The only recommendation I have would be to use fragrance free detergent and softener for the towels, washcloths, and bed linens for folks with sensitivities and allergies to fragrance. Although, it seems pretty common to find scented laundry products being used in most cabin and house rentals. Overall, it was a wonderful cabin and a great getaway for our anniversary.
