Wow, Your cabin is beautiful. Your attention to detail was so amazing and your kindness and consideration was above and beyond. You leave no stone unturned and have the ability to turn a vacation into such a memorable event. The flowers you left and the basket was just the icing on the cake. Thank you for allowing us to share your cabin on Memorial Day. It was a perfect memory for my daughter to take to Iraq with her. Thank you so much! If anyone is looking for a rental, you will not find one as beautiful and special as this one. I plan on coming back when my daughter comes back from Iraq!

We would highly recommend this cabin for your vacation! We were looking for something clean, comfortable, up to date, and reasonable and this cabin exceeded our expectations immensely! Chris was very accommodating and we very much appreciated the resort passes, the goodie basket and the big black notebook with all the info you could ever want about the surrounding area. There is SO much to do that we did not get to it all and will definitely have to go back! The scenery is just beautiful and was as relaxing as it could be with our 3 year old with us. This cabin has all you need for a beautiful, fun and relaxing vacation.

This cabin was perfect for us. It was clean, well stocked, and in a very peaceful location. I enjoyed sitting in the rocking chair on the porch while reading a good book. We appreciated the gift basket with the items to make smores. (I really pigged out on the smores!!) There is a binder in the cabin that contains all of the activities in the surrounding area. This was very helpful. We really enjoyed the Rubling Bald Resort passes -- this made our vacation special! My son played putt putt 6 times ! We could hardly get our daughter out of the lake! We will definately recommend this cabin to our friends and family.

Lake Lure is our vacation spot of choice every year. Your Cabin made it all that more enjoyable. Not only is the cabin itself beautiful but the view of the Mountains from the deck makes it all that more worth while. The passes to the resort were fantastic, they were used every day. We found ourselves stopping by the cafe on the way just to soak in the views and hook up to the free Wi-Fi. Thanks again for a great experience. We will definitely see you next year.

We stayed at the cabin for our Honeymoon and LOVED every minute of it. It's been almost 2 years now, and we want to go back soon. We felt right at home!

Dear Chris, thanks so much for an amazing stay at Lake Lure. Our family had the best vacation ever. The only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Your personal touch to our stay made it even more special for us. The kids loved the goody basket. My husband and I took advantage of that bottle of wine with a beautiful sunset! Thanks too for the Rumbling Bald passes, this was fantastic, everyday we headed over for fishing, swimming, boating, kayaking, and of course so much more...had a blast. You made our vacation a DREAM with such attention to detail. Can't wait to visit again in the future.
Your new friends in Concord,NC, The Austins.

Chris,
WOW!
What a week we had thanks to your incredible hospitality. So much to say, but the bottom line is, we had a great time and fell in love with the Lake Lure area. Beautiful countryside, peaceful, quaint communities, and a gorgeous lake. We made it to Rutherfordton, Forest City for a baseball game, passed through Hendersonville on our way to Flat Rock to see "All Shook Up" at the theater.
I highly recommend the show, it was very entertaining and a great way for us to wrap up our week. The Rumbling Bald passes and the use of the amenities were awesome. The pool was a great place to relax after a busy day of activities. My wife and I are a couple of years away from looking into the purchase of vacation/retirement property and the Lake Lure area tops the list. I've shared our experience and pictures with family members, so you're likely be hearing from a Costanzo family down the road.
Back to work today and I've already started spreading the word. Thanks again and don't be surprised if you hear from us again.

Our family (4) had a thoroughly enjoyable week at the log home in July. The home is well equipped and provided with all the basics to get one started. The owners delivered on all promises and their organization, thoughtfulness, and attention to detailed showed. The home is well situated in a quite area but within a short drive of all that the Lake Lure area has to offer. We would definitely stay their again.

The cabin was wonderful! You seemed to think of everything! We had a very nice and very relaxing stay. Our 6 year old really enjoyed the pools at the resort. We all enjoyed gem mining at Broad River. Chimney Rock was a lot of fun! Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your cabin – we would definitely like to return one day!

Our family of five had a wonderful time staying in your cabin. The cabin is beautiful, the neighborhood is quiet and safe, and the area in general has many attractions. We enjoyed visiting Biltmore estate, hiking family-friendly trails at Chimney Rock, and taking a boat tour of Lake Lure. We also loved the two beautiful waterfalls that were about a ten minute drive from the cabin. More than anything, though, our family enjoyed rocking on the covered porch at the cabin, making s'mores, playing boardgames, and looking for wildlife. We saw a mother turkey with her babies, several deer, turtles, salamanders, whipporwills, and even a red fox searching for s'mores crumbs! We will be back!!

The beauty and the comfort of the mountain retreat was enhanced by the views, the birding and the howling coyotes at dusk. The hiking, the golf, the tennis, and the Lake Lure offer a variety of activity and exposure to the beauty of Western NC.
We are definitely planning a return!!!

A pristine, yet rustic cabin set amidst the beautiful
mountains. The moment we arrived, we went into
relaxation mode. The secret waterfalls, winding
roads to the still lake front, and the smell of an
open fire on the land was just what the doctor
ordered. We L-O-V-E Lake Lure and would
encourage anyone needing to get away to unwind
at this First Class Mountain Retreat.

Thank you Chris for everything you did to make our Mom's 80th birthday surprise perfect! We were thrilled with the cabin and it was more than what we ever imagined. We have rented homes in several states but yours was one of the best -- beautiful touches throughout and so comfortable. We loved the peace and quiet of the evenings by the campfire and the beauty of the mountains spread out beyond. It was a perfect weekend. I only wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks for the flowers, the basket of goodies and the "birthday" balloon too! We loved it!

Our stay in Lake Lure was made especially enjoyable by the confortable and well appointed accomodations at the cabin. Our hosts were kind enough to call to make sure that we had everything we needed to make the most of our vacation. We highly recommend a stay. We'll be back!

Chris and Ron, We had a wonderful time in Lake Lure! Your cabin is beautiful and equipped with all the amenities of home...only better! We felt spoiled to have the best of both worlds. Not only was the cabin luxurious, the location upheld serenity, peace and views to enjoy. We enjoyed the beautiful drives to Ashville, Hendersonville and Chimney Rock. Our only complaint is now we have to decide when we can come back to visit!...Your hospitality was welcoming and genuine. You have it all! We look forward to visiting you again and again, Karen
