Great place to stay
The cabin was perfect. Comfy, clean and perfect for us and the dogs. Yard is fenced. Enjoy time at fire pit while they explored the yard. Fully stocked with linens, toiletries. Kitchen had all you needed, just bring food. Spices and all waiting for you. Great front and back porch views. Can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend JR’s Cabin.

Jr Cabin
We stayed at JR Cabin for one week with our 2 small dogs. I chose this property primarily as it was dog friendly and fenced. We were impressed with how secure the fence was with great care taken that there were no areas that a dog could get through which provided great peace of mind.
The accommodations were clean, comfortable and so well stocked with any kitchen gadget you’d need, a keurig with coffee pods available…much appreciated!, plentiful bath towels and even first aid kits, washer and dryer with detergent. We would definitely choose this property should we ever come back to the area!

Perfect family vacation
We stayed here for a long weekend with our young girls and dog. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The short drive to the lake access in the neighborhood was our favorite aspect. The drive to Lake Lure Beach and Chimney Rock Village is short. The porch with bench swing was such a relaxing place to enjoy the quiet and nature. I wish we had stayed longer! Will definitely be back.

What a great place to stay. I've stayed in many vrbo's previously and this one was well thought out. They thought of everything you could possibly need. Everything was top notch. The location was great and I guarantee the roads were very good getting to the property. Thank you for a great time and we look forward to staying in your property again in the future.

Perfect Thanksgiving Cabin
Everything was just perfect!! A beautiful, cozy cabin with great rooms, quilts, fireplace, fire pit and great for a Gobble table and time and space for family games!! We would certainly stay here again!! Near to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock!! Thank Noreen and JR for your hospitality!!
As a VRBO host myself, your place definitely deserves five stars in all areas! As for a few who whined in their comments about the gravel road to the cabin, what did you expect!!! You’re in the high foothills! We loved the ride up and down from the cabin! Thank you!

You definitely feel like you are in the woods with the authentic log style, exterior and beautiful trees that surround the property. I saw a bear on the way into Lake lure the day I arrived. I also saw several beaver on the sides of the road, and crossing. Definitely a magical place I shall return.

Peaceful Oasis
We absolutely loved JR’s cabin. From the solitude of the surroundings to the amenities and comfort it was everything we hoped it would be. The owners were always readily available if needed. The cabin was spotlessly clean and supplied with just about everything. Our two small dogs loved the fenced and secure yard. Close to Lake Lure, Chimney Rock plus a grocery store nearby made it even more convenient. We will return for sure.

Overall good, but a few hiccups
The property itself is overall nice, but the gravel roads to get there were a bit of a pain. We did run into an internet availability problem, but it was due to the owner's plan not providing a high enough data limit for the amount of data that we used over our 2 week stay, which did involve M-F work that required internet usage.

Bring your dog, and leave your worries behind!
A fabulous escape awaits you and your dog at JR’s Cabin! My partner and I took a long weekend here with our fuzzy little pup and it was amazing. The cabin is warm and welcoming, with well-appointed rooms and delightful touches. We loved the dog bowls already set out, the excellent cookware and the mindfulness coloring books and pencils! Having a secure fenced yard for our dog was priceless, and we loved relaxing on the porch almost as much as he did! The proximity to water recreation and great hiking was outstanding. At the end of the day, we could unwind with a beautiful stroll down the quiet, rustic road or veg out with excellent cable options or wi-fi time on our own devices. The owners are kind folks who are generous with their itinerary suggestions and assistance. Look no more— this is the one!

Great location and well appointed cabin
Riverbend is a private community with access to the Broad River and 2 lakes for swimming. We stayed mainly at the Old Swimming Hole right after the entrance because we had 2 dogs with us. JRs cabin was perfect for my family of 4 (plus pups). The yard is fenced. I was really impressed with the extras throughout the cabin. All of the cookware is higher quality and there was bug spray/sunscreen/first aid kit available if needed. Less than 20 min to Lake Lure and really close to the Ingles for groceries. Definitely recommend!
