The owners of the property could not be more kind and accommodating. They were always available and helped me make our vacation very special. Love the house in the game room! And it was very nice to have a gated community where we had our own private lake area and tubing River. highly recommend!

Our family loved the amount of space at the cabin and the game room was a huge hit. Our family enjoyed the private lake, nature trail, the waterfall, and the swimming hole all of which were inside the private gated community. We had a variety of ages of kids who were all easily entertained with swimming, fishing, kayaking, and hiking. We also loved chimney rock and the flowering bridge which were only a short drive.

Our family had a great time at the cabin. It's close to Chimney Rock, so there are great hikes nearby. And just around the south side of the lake is the beach area and a great little coffee shop. The cabin is quiet, and homey, and it was as advertised. The owners are very responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

If you want a real retreat, this cabin is an excellent choice. For 2 or more, it is quiet and secluded, comfortable, well appointed. I sleep so deeply there!

House was plenty big for 4 couple, owner very helpful, only thing we didn't know was the unpaved road going up to the house, cars really dirty from that. House clean, back deck very spacious

We had a great time at Laurelwood for a long weekend. The house suited our needs nicely and the owner went out of his way to make the entire rental process an easy one. This is not always true of VRBO owners. This house is in a quiet and relaxing neighborhood which is what we were looking for.

This was a stunning log home. This was our first time going to lake lure and had a blast. Kim always messaged me to make sure everything was going as planned. This house is very close to resturaunts and the National Park. The game room and hot tub was very fun when you wanted to relax or have fun. I hope to go again sometime!

This is in a beautiful area. We were close to Zip Lining, Lake Lure and a beautiful park. Chimney Rock is very close, and there are also many Waterfalls that were a short distance away (45 mins.-1 hour). There is a little lake just down the hill and the river, which we spent most of our time tubing down. We made some great family memories here. The owner is wonderful and explained a lot about the area. We will definitely visit there again if we are ever in the area.

Our family had a wonderful stay. A beautiful cabin that was inviting as soon as you opened the door. We had cookouts on the deck, games at the table and kayaking on the lake. The game room provided plenty of entertainment. We enjoyed the sauna after a day of hiking. Never a dull moment with everything we could possibly need. The owner Kim was so accommodating and checked on us to make sure we had all that we needed! We will be back! Debbie Gleason Franklin, Tn

We planned to use this home as our 'base of operations' for an event being held at the Tryon International Equestrian Center, a short 25-minute drive form the house. The house was a welcome relief with its' warm ambiance and perfect amenities - great kitchen, comfortable living areas, super deck for putting your feet up - you couldn't ask for more. Everything was clean, well-stocked, in working order and ready for us when we came in for a long weekend. Working with the owner was a pleasure - thanks, Kim, for your hospitality. We all agreed that a much longer stay for more exploring was in order! Plenty of room for everyone - definitely on our list for a return visit.

Laurelwood Lodge was a wonderful home base for our vacation this year. It is simply HUGE, plenty of room to spread out and relax! Our teens enjoyed the game room downstairs while the adults enjoyed the large hot tub. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. The deck is the highlight of this cabin, you almost feel as if you are in a tree house. The deck chairs are perfect and it is a great place to have your morning coffee and bird watch. The owner, Kim, is so friendly and easy to work with, and is always a phone call away if you need him for anything. We had an issue come up ( not with the cabin ) in which we needed to talk to Kim, and he was so kind and helpful. Mirror Lake is amazing and the kids would rather hang out there than at Lake Lure, it is a peaceful lake to swim and canoe. I would certainly recommend Laurelwood to others !

We have stayed in the Lake Lure area several times over the past ten years, and this home, and the experience it brings, is by far the best we have had. The log cabin is spacious, clean, and in a beautiful setting. Even prior to arriving, the owner checked in with us numerous times making sure we were set and offering to answer any questions or support us when needed. When we arrived, we were so please as everything he shared would be ready, was at the home and provided to us. We took advantage of the kayaks, tubes, and a canoe that remains at Mirror Lake. They were easy to access and made for great days of family fun during our stay. In addition to the lake, we found the waterfall and nature walk that our entire family enjoyed. The game room was another pleasant part of the home. We spent some time playing pool, ping pong, and air hockey where lots of laughs were shared. I would highly recommend this property if you are headed to the Chimney Rock/Lake Lure Area. It is close to all of the attractions of the area yet private, safe, and an attraction within itself! There are not many places you can stay that offer a private lake, free kayaks, tubes, canoes, and so much more!

We stayed at this cabin during Christmas. We wanted to get all the family together in one place and we had family coming from North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida so it was the perfect location for everyone! The cabin was very spacious and comfortable! It had a very cozy feel so it made us feel as if were "at home" for Christmas! There were tons of games and movies to choose from, and lots of games in the basement to play as well. We also really enjoyed the hot tub! Lake Lure is a beautiful area and we hope to come back and visit during the summer sometime so that we can enjoy all the outdoor activities they have to offer. There is a grocery store less than 10 minutes away as well as restaurants and shops. The owners were very accommodating and helpful! They were always just a phone call or email away if we needed anything or had any questions. We didn't have any trouble at all finding the cabin. It may be a little hard to get to if there is a lot of snow on the roads, but nothing a 4-wheel drive couldn't handle! Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us! It's absolutely beautiful! That was definitely a Christmas to remember!

10/10

We stayed here with another family - 4 adults and 5 children. There was ample room for us all (with beds to spare!), the property was very clean, and we were very comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the hot tub and game room downstairs! The cabin-y feel of the home really made it feel like a vacation. If you need tips on something to occupy you/get you out of the house for a few hours: We found the little town of Chimney Rock about 15/20. min. from the house. It was a cute walking town (just enough/not too much with 5 kids). We popped in a few shops, the kids “mined” rocks (that was SO fun for them!), we walked down to the river and explored, took nice photos, and the kids found even more pretty rocks. For dinner we sat on the amazingly beautiful deck of a tasting room that had great wine and decent food but seriously great views (which made up for the just okay food). There is a very long, windy and steep gravel/dirt road to get to the property. We had no issues, but I could see that being a very big issue in bad weather (ice, snow, or even a lot of rain). Also, we brought 2 vehicles, but there would be nowhere to put a 3rd. If you have more than 2 vehicles, you will need to park at the little parking lot right inside the gate and ride up with someone. Also, the kitchen needs a baking sheet :) All in all, totally great MLK weekend with friends!
