Check-in was very easy and the interior view after entering was breathtaking! The vaulted ceiling made the living area and kitchen seem much larger than the actual square footage.A beautiful and comfortable place to enjoy a Lake Lure area vacation. The best feature was a huge screened porch with 2 comfortable rockers, a large dining table with seating for 6, a gas grill and the soothing sound of a babbling creek nearby. We definitely will be back!

Wonderful and relaxing, beautifully decorated and spacious cabin. Learned to appreciate silence , darkness and the wonderful people we met. Very well managed by carolina properties, they made it easy to want to come back.

PROS:
Spacious. Short drive to great hiking/grocery/shops. Well equipped kitchen. Nice grill. Comfortable bed. Once they finally communicated with us they were quick to send someone to address our issues. Easy check in/check out. Can hear the sound of the water babbling from the porch. Surface areas are clean.
CONS:
It's not well vacuumed; our allergies were cRaZy in the bedroom and on the couch. Hubs actually started a sneezing fit again just from unpacking his cpap machine (they have to sit on the floor so it was on the carpet all week).
I originally contacted the property management company to see if there were any replacement bulbs in the house I could swap in a lamp. No response. Reached out again after we found and killed a palmetto bug (a.k.a. cockroach). No response. I was starting to panic because 16 hours went by with no responses to my messages and all I know is roaches are a heath hazard and I didn't want to take any home as a souvenir 😅. Was relieved to learn finding one doesn't indicate an infestation and once they did start to respond to me, they sent a pest control person within the hour to spray around the kitchen.
They also sent someone out who replaced the bad bulbs and fixed the fireplace same day, but didn't tell us when they were coming or let us know afterwards that they came.
Someone else wrote in their review about the lighting and I thought that was probably over exaggerated, but it's not. The pictures are staged with fill light. There's zero lights over the dining room table so it rendered the space useless in the evening for my middle age husband who can't see like he used to. And the living room in general is very poorly lit.
SIDE NOTES:
They have a logged in Netflix account, but the WiFi is too slow to watch anything on their TV without it constantly freezing or throwing an error message. Not the end of the world, just need to download movies to your devices. And on that note, I just realized while typing this that I left our Chromecast plugged in the TV so... yay for you, bonus house feature if you book it LoL
And the recliner chair isn't there so if you are banking on that for any reason - don't.
CONCLUSION:
Overall while it wasn't quite what we were expecting, we did enjoy our trip. The place has a lot of potential with better cleaning upkeep, communication, and lighting. If you don't have have allergies or bad eyes you might love it!
