Property was a home run from reservation to departure. The description and imagery were accurate, the rate was fair, and communications with the owners were seamless and timely. Check-in was smooth and the directions provided got our family to the house without issue. Layout was PERFECT for our group: two families with kids, Grandma and a family dog. Each set of adults had a separate bedroom on their own floor, and the kids had the game/bunk room all to themselves. The wrap around porch was ideal for small kids and the dog, grilling, meals at the picnic table, or just sitting on the porch swing. The interior living spaces were great for family meals, movie nights, or playing games. The entire family loved the private beach and playing in the river - we were there every day. The house was close to the zip line course, grocery store, and just a bit further to Lake Lure Beach, Chimney Top, and great hiking. We saw plenty of deer, turkeys, chipmunks, birds and even a small black bear. We didn’t fish but saw plenty at the lake. This property was a 10/10 for us and I wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.
