Relax at the Lake

We really enjoyed our time away at the cabin. My idea if vacation is peace and relaxation without crowds and thats just what we found here! The AC at the cabin works great! Love the mountain view from the kitchen sink and master bath!

Great views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views were as good as advertised. Location is excellent. It’s in a gated community with a lake, small beach, and short hiking trails to a waterfall and river. The only shortcoming is that the third bedroom is not quite a full “bedroom”Has all of the basic kitchenware.

Glad to be Back

My husband and I stayed at this property a little over a year ago, and decided to return for a few days to get away from the hustle and bustle at home. The place is truly gorgeous...well furnished and stocked with all the essentials. The two screened porches are a BIG asset in mosquito territory, and the gas fireplaces are just right for those cool mornings and evenings. A great quiet place for couples, but also big enough for the whole family. Had a great time!

Kitchen appliances need upgrade

House was beautifully decorated, loved the screen in decks, the the downside was the water was great if you enjoy cold showers, a Keurig coffee maker would've been nice , some sort of shading the glass doors facing lake would've been nice other than that , the family had a nice time

Great Getaway

This is a really nice place to getaway. It was just the 2 of us in this very spacious cabin. Coffee on the deck in the morning was amazing. Don't fret over the "offroad" experience to get to the cabin. It's well worth the trouble.

Family trip

This property was awesome we loved to log cabin and all its charm. We loved enjoying the screened porches and the fire places. Was a great way to spend some quality time with our family. Didn’t even turn the TV on the whole weekend. Susie was a great host and we would totally come back again.

Quiet Getaway

We enjoyed our stay and found the cabin roomy enough for our needs. The kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed cooking meals with family. Loved the convenient lake access and used the canoe several times! Suzie was quick to respond to our questions and made the check-in process very convenient!

Whataview

It was a beautiful cabin and the view was breath taking. The only disappointment was the steps away from the lake. I really thought we would be right on the water with our private little adventure but that was not the case. It was literally steps down the side of a bank. It was rough going back to the cabin. However, that was my fault, I should have made sure we were on the lake as I had hoped. Overall the stay was peaceful, beautiful, and the cabin offered all of our family needs along with plenty of room. Thanks for sharing your cabin with my family and I.

Riverbend -Whataview

This is one of the nicest cabins we have ever stayed in near lake Lure. Most cabins do not have the ambience and decorative touches that makes 329 Chipmunk many steps above the rest. Between the view, the cabin decor, and the owner's concern about our comfort makes this a cabin we wil surely return to,

Sisters getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were great. Great views of the water at the beach after a short climb down some steps to the water. Susie was very responsive and great to deal with. The Wi-Fi was a little slow at times but we really didn’t need to use it much for our stay. We had a wonderful time and loved the area! The deck and screened porch were a plus and was so nice being able to sit out and enjoy the fresh air. It is a gated community so a key code or scan card is needed to get in after 6. There are instructions in the check in section. I would stay again! I loved the homie feel of the cabin with plenty of room for us to have our own space.

The view is great, the overall filth of the cabin was pretty intolerable. The ancient mattresses were very uncomfortable. A thorough cleaning and updated mattresses would do a world of good.

Lovely cabin with beautiful view and lake access.

Location and subdivision were awesome. Views were pretty, lake access was awesome for the kids. We ran out of toilet paper and dishwasher tabs as there were not enough supplied. We were disappointed when we read at check in that we needed to wash and fold the towels and linens upon checkout as well. We were assessed a cleaning fee. Overall, we had a great experience and would come again, just prepared!

Handicap friendly—not truly accessible

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Whataview cabin. As advertised, the view of the lake, trees, and mountains are beautiful. Also, there is a variety of affordable up to expensive dining options that we enjoyed—all within 15 minutes from the cabin. For us though, we recommend avoiding if you require full wheelchair accessibility. The bathroom on the main floor is not accessible at all. If fully wheelchair bound, then be aware you will need to take your vehicle down to the lake. Neither the fire pit area nor the path down to the lake are wheelchair accessible.
