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.

House was clean and more beautiful in person than on the listing. All supplies we needed such as paper towels, toilet paper, towels, and soap were fully stocked. Our puppies enjoyed running around in the fenced in yard. Overall it was a great trip

Cozy cabin tucked back in the hills. We had no issues with the property. Accommodations were nice and super clean; even better than the pictures present. Property manager was great.

JR'S Cabin is a wonderful getaway for a couple or small group. Located in River Bend, it is charming, comfortable, well appointed, and the owners have made it dog friendly with a secure fence around the property. It is minutes from Lake Lure and a short drive to Rutherfordton, NC.
We have stayed at other properties in the area, but JR's Cabin is our favorite and definitely one we will return to.

We loved JR’s cabin located in a mountain oasis in the Lake Lure area. Very convenient location to area attractions. Gated community with a small lake and river…gravel road to the cabin was fine with our SUV. The cabin was comfortable and had everything needed for our stay. So nice having coffee on the porch in such peaceful surroundings! The owner was very responsive and accommodating.

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!

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.

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.

Jr Cabin was nicely located in the mountain. We enjoyed the spacious living space and rooms. We were most impressed that the cabin provided condiments and spices, as well as ketchup mustard and butter. Saved us from buying that stuff. We also enjoyed both the BBQ and Fire Pit. Everything was provided as if living there full time. We would stay at Jr Cabin again in the future. Thank you for everything Mrs. Noreen.

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!

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!
