Everyone has a nervous feeling when they rent a hotel or vrbo. Its natural to be worried a certain property meets your expectations. Carl was a great host. His propery was clean and very well organized. We liked all of the little items on hand at the cabin. It was priced affordable and was a stress free overnight rental from beginning to end.

Most perfect little get away! The host was very friendly and helpful. The place was quaint and has the most comfortable bed EVER! Very relaxing and peaceful. The place is beautiful and has lots to do nearby. We went to chimney rock and then went into town and grabbed lunch before relaxing at the house. 10/10 will recommend to anyone and already looking at our calendar to see when we can come back!

The owner, Carl, is awesome! This is the cleanest place I have ever stayed and it is absolutely beautiful. Even the outdoor area is clean. Carl made us feel welcome and safe. He was attentive to our needs and left is to our privacy. We enjoyed grilled steaks on the park-style charcoal grill by the fire pit (clean firewood provided). Lights and Bluetooth speakers out side and huge TVs inside. Attention to detail was impressive. Lake Lure is great too. We will definitely return when we're back in the area.

This cabin was everything we anticipated and more. It is a beautifully handcrafted cabin. We enjoyed our visit and our conversations with the owner. He has two beautiful labor doodles and they were very welcoming. Lol. We had a blast and will be back. The craftsmanship was absolutely stunning. We were provided wood for the fire-pit and we sat out there by it for hours. It was gorgeous and very comfy.

Can't get any better than this one!

If I could give a perfect 10, this one would be a 10. When looking for the perfect place for a getaway, look no further. This is it! The owner/host, Carl, greeted us on our arrival to explain all the features the cabin has to offer. He cares deeply about his cabins as can be seen by the detail of wood craftsmanship he has filled them with and along with strategically placed lighting that add that extra whimsical touch...it's wonderful. There are also Bluetooth accessed speakers than can be used. His attention to every detail can be seen in every nook and cranny and in the use of every piece of a log and/or wood he could possibly use. Absolutely a site of craftsmanship to admire. Just bring your groceries. There is an Ingles grocery store close by if you need or forget something. Everything cooking and serving is provided for you in the kitchen. Take time to enjoy the porches and the firepit area. We will definitely be telling everyone about this hidden treasure and will look forward to our next stay. Thank you Carl for creating and sharing this beautiful place.
Don't miss this front porch treat...it even has a fan.
Exterior side and front area surrounded by mountain laurel. This is from the bedroom.
Nice size shower with wonderful shower head and plenty of water pressure.
Just a view of the ceilings. AC and ceiling fans in den and bedroom were wonderful.

This was a great weekend get a way! It's just as pictured only more beautiful in person. A lot of love and work went into building this Whimsical Place! We loved it! It's quiet, very clean, comfortable and stocked with everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped, just bring the groceries! The bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with room to spare. If you're looking to take a nap, I highly recommend the chairs on the front porch!! The owner is very nice and friendly. If you have any problems with anything just let him know. We definitely recommend staying here and we would love to stay here again (only a little longer!!)
