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

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.

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!

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.

Annual family vacation
Absolutely loved the location of the property to mirror lake. It was our second year staying in Riverbend, and though the stairs are steep, super convenient to be right there! House was large enough for the whole family and multiple generations. Only thing is the cleaning could have been a bit better. There were cob webs that have been there for a long time and not touched but I know that’s the cleaning crews that come through. The master bedroom “door” was a bit interesting and then no door to the master bathroom so even when everyone was downstairs still felt that you weren’t closed off. The owner was super responsive, had to reach out a couple times during our stay and after and was always helpful! We absolutely love the area and have made it our destination for our family vacation every year!

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.

Lovely setting that needs a few calculations
The rental is located in a lovely setting that offers lots of nearby activities: swimming, picnicking, zip lining, horse back riding, etc. Loved the deck, screened porch and dog gate! Great views from the house! Plenty of areas to hang out in the house for a family or friends group. A few issues: The rental does not come equipped with basics such as soap, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning solution, etc, Be prepared to bring everything you need. The rental lacks a door to the bathroom on the top level. If you want privacy, you have to ask people to leave the upstairs area. The rental is many steep steps away from the lakefront. The entrance to the housing development requires a gate code. We did not receive it - make sure to ask for this.

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,

WHATAVIEW is just as it’s listed. A great view of the mountains and the lake! Short walk to the beach area where we spent some time casting a line. Great location and was a great weekend getaway for us! Would recommend, especially if multiple couples as each level basically has its own living area with a full bathroom. Perfect!

What a fabulous place to spend my month long sabbatical with my husband and two young children. We loved the house, the lake, the river, and being close to Chimney Rock State Park/ Village, and not too far from so much else. We hope to visit again. Suzie is lovely and checked in to make sure all was well. So many amazing memories. A beautiful home, community, and location.

So relaxing
I did not realize the house is in a gated community. It is an extremely safe and family friendly place. As I was recovering from shoulder surgery, I wanted an easy vacation. This was it. So lovely to be in the woods surrounded by nature. We saw some baby deer and rabbits. I expected a lot more craziness during July 4, but it was quiet. The dog wouldn’t have liked fireworks . We ate in every night and had everything we needed. We even used the charcoal grill, which we haven’t used in 30 years, but it was simple. Only point….follow your car gps to initially find the house, my phone gps was way off. Thank you Suzie….you were a wonderful host.
