Nice cabin if you’re NOT looking for a quiet stay in the mountains. You can hear highway traffic and the back overlooks the highway although the trees block it somewhat. This defeated our purpose so we filled our schedule up with things to do away from the cabin (investigate things to do beforehand because they are still rebuilding…we went to a gem mine, chimney rock state park to the trails and waterfall, horseback riding in the river, etc)We were unable to get the PIN code to work & luckily after about an hour or so we started looking for a key, which we found. The host called us the next day (so glad we found a key; we attempted calling and messaging when we arrived to no avail). The instructions to get in regarding the lockbox needs to be updated; there is no lockbox and clearer instructions should be provided on how to access the cabin with the pin (it wasn’t as simple as just entering it). Cabin smelled stale/musty. The shower had hair & pieces of white tissue. We purchased Febreeze to try to help the smell & left doors open for a bit. We purchased cleaner for the shower. We also had problems w/bees & spiders (the exterior has a lot of webs so it wouldn’t hurt to handle that). We purchased spray for the bees. The freezer needs defrosting. We have come to Lake Lure for the last few years & didn’t stay where we normally do but wanted to pour into the community so we made the best of it with little fuss. Again, not a bad cabin if you need somewhere to sleep.
