| Amazing Grace is truly AMAZING, and so are the owners (and they are very accessible). We even had a goodie bag awaiting our arrival! The cabin is clean, and the views are great. All the furniture is top-notch. We loved the soft yet firm (easy to get in and out of!) leather sofas--SO comfortable. From the front porch, you enter the upper level which includes the kitchen/dining and living areas. The master bedroom (with a comfortable king bed and loads of available pillows) and 1 1/2 baths are on this level as well. If there are just two of you, you won't even need the lower level unless you want to play pool or grab some board games (so no stairs to deal with after you get inside). We watched many family- and Christian-themed DVDs--really good ones! And there is surround sound speakers to make that experience even more enjoyable. We also played Christmas music on the Bose CD player, the same kind we have at home and love. It was peaceful and serene--even to the birds because they "visited" us often! It is away-from-it-all yet close enough to Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and Historic Hendersonville and some great restaurants. This is the perfect place for a retreat. We hope to return for another one! |

| Wow!! If you are considering the mountaings this is definitely your place to stay. The owners exalt the Lord in every room and the views are just breathtaking!! Website does not do it justice. Our family stayed October 22-25 and the leaves were beautiful. Our youngest even discovered she loves the piano!! The owner is such a blessing just to talk to. Very close to scenic routes and chimney rock state park. And as the old saying goes "This one's a keeper" |

Our family has just returned from two weeks at Amazing Grace. Glenn & Laura have put much time and energy thinking of what a family needs during a getaway. The kitchen is very well equipped with most everything a family would need to cook wonderful meals. The great room is comfortable & the 50inch HDTV with surround sound will make movie viewing a theater experience.
Each morning we opened the blinds and watched the sunrise. We saw fire in the sky some mornings and smoke filling the valleys on others. It was not uncommon to sit on the balcony and just quietly look at the beauty of the view. Bird feeders brought song birds close. Their music always a reminder of the words of Jesus, "...they do not worry...".
Each day we were within an easy drive of mountain beauty & adventure. Rock hopping on the Rocky Broad, walking on trails and finding another water fall. Even better, sitting along the river, closing your eyes and allowing the sound of mighty waters to fill soul and heart of God's wonder.
Life long memories were made in this home. Some of that is due to the spirit of the home created by Glenn & Laura. This home sings of a family with a deep and simple faith in God as creator of ALL good things. You will experience, "All things wild & wonderful" as rest and peace abide with you in this home and place. |

| We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The views are incredible. The kids loved the pooltable. The cabin was clean, well furnished with a nicely equipped kitchen. It was so relaxing to take a few days off and enjoy. We will definitely be back. |

We stayed here with our three young children on August 10th and 11th. We enjoyed it very much, and intend to return the next time we visit Chimney Rock. This was our third cabin rental in the area but the other two rental properties couldn't measure up to this one.
The kids loved the home theater experience, and the wide selection of kid-friendly movies.
We loved the view of the mountains from the patio. This is definitely not your typical rustic cabin -- the house is well-furnished, clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. The location is conveniently close to Chimney Rock. |

| I could never say enough good about this wonderful rental. This was by far the best vacation we have had. The view was breath taking. It was as if we were sitting above the clouds. The entire home was wonderfully decorated. The pool table was so much fun for my husband & I. The movies were also great. My husband enjoyed watching the birds eat from the feeders each morning. I enjoyed eating breakfast on the deck, while looking over the tops of the trees & clouds. It was great to have a grill there & even horseshoes to play. It was close enough to shopping but not too close,which was great for privacy. I would certainly reccomend this wonderful place to anyone. The owner was more generous than I could ever say. She even had a special gift bag full of goodies for us when we arrived. Amazing Grace rental truly was amazing & was the perfect little piece of Heaven on earth for our 19th wedding anniversary.Thanks to the owners of Amazing grace rental for all they did to make it a special time for us. |

We stayed for the first time at Amazing Grace on MLK weekend. The house is first class with views that are truly inspiring. Most of all we would like to thank Laura our host who had thought of everything to make our stay relaxing and peaceful. Thank you

| The website does not show the beauty of this home. It is tastefully decorated. I loved every room. Many amenties are not described such as 50" widescreen tv with surround sound. If you are looking for a comfortable, quiet place to just lay back and relax...this is the place. Everything you need is here. I did not want to leave. I hope to go back again soon. |
