River Rest - On the Broad River, Canoe, Fire Pit!

PET FRIENDLY ~ RIVERFRONT ~ FIREPLACE ~ KING BED ~ CANOE ~ RIVERBEND AMENITIES

There is a reason people return to this vacation rental again and again!

River Rest perfectly describes this pet-friendly vacation getaway! Part of the Riverbend at Lake Lure community but located outside the gates, this inviting home has beautiful mountain views and 200 feet of Broad River frontage, all on a two-acre lot. Step out the back door, and you will be in awe of the surroundings. The rushing river sounds will soothe your soul and seem to transport you to a place far from the hectic pace of everyday life. This home is 5.9 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 7.2 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, and 14.9 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC).

Enjoy the Natural Surroundings
The fun seems to be from an earlier time. There is no need for video games and iPads here; you can find enjoyment in connecting with nature:

Go tubing in the river (it is so much fun)
Dip your toes in the water or go for a swim
Grab a pole and fish (license required)
The two-acre lot provides a lot of room for the two- and four-legged kids to play.
Just imagine all of this right from the backyard!

You can also enjoy all the amenities Riverbend has to offer:

Swim or canoe in Mirror Lake (canoe provided)
Build sandcastles on Mirror Lake Beach (there is a play area for children)
Have a meal at the covered picnic site, complete with picnic tables, rocking chairs, stone fireplaces, restrooms, and spectacular views
Hike, bike, or run one of the many trails
Sit and relax by the waterfall and river

This home is 5.9 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 7.2 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, and 14.9 miles to TIEC (Tryon International Equestrian Center).

The Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area is conveniently situated for outdoor adventure, including horseback riding, tubing, water sports, and hiking; museums and theater; the Biltmore Estate and Village; shopping and restaurants; and so much more.

​Near Lake Lure and Chimney Rock
The home is only 10 minutes from Lake Lure Beach and Chimney Rock. Many Lake Lure water sports rental options and pontoon boat tours exist. Chimney Rock State Park and Village are definitely worth visiting. The park was rated a Blue Ridge Mountain favorite, and there are unique shops and plenty of restaurants. See the Amenities and Notes for just a sampling of what is available in Lake Lure/Chimney Rock and the surrounding communities.

Perfect for Small Groups and Family Gatherings
​This classic home will accommodate 2 as comfortably as 12; It has 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths.
The fully equipped kitchen has the conveniences of a home: dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cookware, dinnerware, cookware, and utensils. All you need are groceries, and there is an Ingles Market, a five (5) minute drive from the home! Dine in or enjoy your meal on the deck overlooking the river.

Be Our Guest
This mountain home and the Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area have so much to offer, no matter the season. Whether it is plentiful choices of restaurants or shopping or a fun outdoor adventure, you and your loved ones will never forget! If you stay at River Rest, we are confident that you will return again and again. We look forward to you and your four-legged family members being our guests.

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2025, through the first quarter of 2025(March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

Smoking is prohibited in all of our vacation rental homes.
​Dogs (up to 2) are welcome in this home. Guests are required to clean up after their pets to avoid additional charges.
Parking for multiple vehicles at the home, but only two (2) vehicles are allowed inside the gated portion of Riverbend at Lake Lure.
Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. local time or anytime later.
Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. local time or anytime earlier.

NOTICE: CANOE is temporarily stored at the cabin instead of being next to the lake. The community has required us to move them to the homes until they have built a new location for storage down by the lake.

Note: Cancellation policies may vary on various marketing sites, but it is ALWAYS most affordable to book directly with us at Carolina Properties. Booking direct also enables a guest loyalty discount, available across our many properties upon your second stay.

Let the Renter Beware
Let me begin by saying this property is in a fantastic location. That's the good news. The bad news is that the material condition of the property is poor. Some interior issues included but were not limited to: - The ceiling/wall on one side of the A-Frame had stains from previous leakage. - Loose plumbing fixtures - Electrical outlets that do not have power (according the the property management company, "the whole first floor needs to be rewired"). - The fans in some of the bathrooms were very noisy. - The knobs on some kitchen cabinets were falling off. - One kitchen drawer completely fell apart (it was missing screws). - The entire house desperately needs to be repainted. - The carpeting and flooring needs to be replaced. - The furniture is old and worn. Some exterior issues include but are not limited: - Rotting trim work. - Roofing sections that are sinking inward. - Deck structure and decking boards that need to be replaced. - The lack of proper exterior lighting. - Missing rails. - Temporary jacking posts and bracing that needs to be replaced with permanent structure. With some investment, this property could be a vacation treasure, that brought in a lot more rental income. I hope this interview prompts the investor/owner to fix the place up.

Outdated? More like unloved.
upon arrival many things we not right with our property and after a 12 hour ride, was feeling discouraged that we hadn’t choose the right house for our family vacation. As the night and the week progressed just more things were added to the list that’s not right. First being the pictures of the house? They are not up to date. The garage that they have in the pictures as we got there, it wasn’t usable and looks like it’s been that way for 20 years. and it was one of the big reasons why we chose this house for our motorcycles to store. There were more electric outlets in the home that DIDNT work then DID. I love that we were right on the river but the trees were so overgrown on the one deck that it made the deck so slick and unusable our stay. Also there had been an entrance into the river looked like it had been washed out and instead of fixing it had things to block it. (It also doesn’t look like it just happened. Plus many more issues. I did reach out to the property management and gave them the long list, they did give us a small compensation for the issues. But honestly if they had someone ACTUALLY Taking care of the property (this is out of a cleaners depth) they wouldn’t have too. this house would be beautiful! We stay in many rentals and we know outdated and can accept that but this isn’t outdated this is a property that is just completely neglected from the inside out and needs some major maintenance.

Family trip
We were so excited for this trip and were disappointed immediately. The house was not ready in time and when we did get into the house, it was not cleaned properly. The doors and light switches were covered in dirt, several sheets were noticeably dirty. There were several wet spots on the carpet, one of the bathrooms was unusable because the bathmat smelled so bad of cat The entire room smell smelled. Towels were also dirty. Had a glob of toothpaste with a hair in it. We were not left with any essentials except for an empty bottle of dish soap and one unwrapped soap. The property management came over and took pictures of some things and assured me we would at the very least be getting a refund of our cleaning deposit. To date, we have not received any refund and correspondence has gone unanswered. The setting is beautiful and we had such high hopes for our stay.

Christmas Vacation
Overall, the house and location were great and I would book again. Booked for a family Christmas vacation and was disappointed that the owners didn’t decorate for the holidays. We went to the store and decorated ourselves. Only had one issue with the fireplace but the communication was great and they had someone there to check it quickly.

As always we had a great vacation. Couldn’t beat this beautiful location. The tubes were blown up and perfect for tubing from property. House is old and quirky but fine with us. Our only complaint was pet urine smell in one bedroom and really bad off little deck. Other then that, all tvs worked and appliances. No other complaints.

River Rest
Great little place for our family "retreat". The spot on the river was great for just watching the river and wildlife, little fishing, river wading/swimming, tubing and kayaking. The partnership with community is excellent. Tube down the horseshoe in river to "Ye old swimming hole" and the lake was right above. Perfect for kayaking and swimming. We were really impressed with the canoe provided but did not utilize it. So many places for hikes and other activities! Several big tables where our families played games every night. The house is charming and was an excellent venue for our family. **previous guests must have brought pets and left on porch of kitchen/bedroom. The deck smelled strongly of dog urine. I reached out to property manager couple times but did not get response during vacation. The number of towels was very limited. But it was not terrible because we had brought our own. Overall this was an excellent little house, excellent location, and generally well cared for. We enjoyed our stay very much. We would stay again without hesitation. We would recommend. Thank you River's Rest for a great week packed with fun for our families.

Great location
The location, nearby river rapids is beautiful. The fire pit is in a great spot right along side the river. It could use closer attention to provisioning. There were only 5 trash bags provided and we had to buy more and only 5 dishwasher detergent pods which was just enough. A lack of glassware required that we run the dishwasher after every meal. The second floor shower had a slow drain. A great spot that needs a little more TLC.

Pictures do not represent the property.
First of all inspite of all that I will relay, my brother, sisters and their spouses and I had a fantastic time being with each other. The yard was not mowed so no pleasure outside. The front deck had dead leaves and debris on it. The code to unlock the door worked like it should. I got there first and checked out the house and the inside was cleaned and presentable. Once every one arrived they picked out their room and we proceeded to make arrangements for our evening repast. When everyone got ready to retire we realized that the upper rooms were hot and lights would not turn on or outlets wouldn't work. We purchased an extension cord and oscillating fan so they could circulate hot air. The next morning I called the property manager and they sent someone over who informed us we must have gremlins. This guy is telling this to adults over 50 plus. He got the outlets working but said he would need to get the ac serviceman out to work on the unit. If he couldn't he would make sure we had at least a window unit for the evening. In the meantime he wanted us to lower the first floor ac units so it would cool the upper level. So freeze out the areas we were socializing in. He never called us back with an update and did not bring an ac unit. We made do by duck taping screens that did not fit in the window so we could get fresh air in the upper levels. Then we loaded the dishwasher and thinking we had set it to run only to find out in the morning that it never ran. Dishes were still dirty and the detergent was still in the activation area. So we tried it again. No luck in getting it to run. OK wash dishes. I am not this critical but when you pay this kind of money and 6 months in advance for family members you haven't seen in over 3 years and coming from many states away North and South and East, you expect to have a stress free experience. The pictures must be from when they first started renting and nothing like what you get. We will have another sibling reunion next year but it won't be with this rental or these property managers. I was very disappointed and embarrassed for my siblings whom I was treating to this outing. Keep looking.

Beautiful property
Overall, beautiful property for a rental. The house itself is showing its age and erosion, with outdated furniture and a sagging foundation. However, it was the perfect rental for my family over Christmas. 4 couples, one single adult and 2 kids all got their own space and the backyard and surrounding neighborhood were awesome! Definitely not enough dishes, and there was very little soap/detergent so we brought our own. A few rooms have double beds which were difficult for some couples, but we made it work. Plenty of kitchen and lounging space in the house and outside. Loved our experience!

Wonderful riverfront location- rushing water so peaceful
Wonderful riverfront location- rushing water is peaceful, great hammock on river bank, large decks to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. Right off busy road, but when on river side, hear little except occasional loud motorcycle. Home is dated, not a lot of cabinets in kitchen for groceries, some wear and tear visible, but location makes up for those minor things. Trash disposal is close and convenient. Wonderful fire ring on property overlooking river. Canoe is located on small lake nearby, easily accessible by car. There are floats for river and life jackets and paddles for canoe if want to use. We enjoyed our stay with only a couple of minor issues. Bring your own metal coat hangers for smores. Would rent again.

so disappointed
Not sure where to start. It almost feels like the property owner is waiting for the home to collapse to collect the insurance. Holes above windows where curtain brackets should be. Holes in hollow doors. Sleeps 12 but only has 8 drinking glasses had to buy plastic cups. Stove top heating elements smoked first time use from not being cleaned properly. Well water had overwhelming sulfur smell in master bath. no night nights for bathrooms. Hard to navigate at night. What REALLY concerned me were clumps of long black hair in the master bath. We both have short gray hair. Yuk. Also, dust and dirt gathered between the night stand and wall in master bedroom. Maids don't check the floors? Obvious bad paint jobs on doors and overhead light fixtures. My goodness, I know it was a great price but even if the home is dated it could have at least been well maintained. Retaining wall to protect the property from the river rising has collapsed.
