Beautiful location, close to Chimney Rock and right on main street so close to shops and restaurants. Apartment was very clean and cozy. Our 2 daughters stayed with us and they too were very impressed. Beds were so comfy and furniture also very comfortable. If we are ever back that way we will definitely be staying here again.
Great little 2BR place, love the location, view of the Park is wonderful, and the property manager was awesome! We will definitely put this one as a favorite! Clean, hospitable, close to Coffee downstairs! Restaurant next door! Walk to anywhere in Chimney Rock, this place is right in the middle of town! Watch for Bears!
Joey Banz was the best property manager Iâve had with ABNB. He was there to meet us and carried our bags upstairs. Then communicated with us during our stay!
I stayed with my 2 daughters and one's boyfriend. We loved the set-up of the condo and the location. We enjoyed the two porches, playing in the river, walking to shops, restaurants, the brewery, and being close to the park. The unit is modern, clean, and comfortable. Great stay overall, highly recommended!
From location, views, comfort and host hospitality, this was a fabulous getaway for our family! You literally only need your clothes and toiletries, everything else you'd need is there!
We are looking forward to coming back again!
Right on main street, close to everything. The folks checking us in were super nice and asked how things were going each time they saw us. We will be back.
It was our 39th anniversary. The wife wanted to stay somewhere we could walk to shops, food, etc.
This couldnât have been a better location! We had a blast!
(for two older people)
Great all-around experience, and this home was a great base camp.
We loved the location and the furniture was beautiful. Also the beds are very comfortable!
The floors were a bit dirty causing the bottom of our feet to be black. Also could use a bit more cook wear ( there was no cookie sheet) for the people who like to cook.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back soon!
Very nice and spacious apartment. Quiet settings but so close to everything in town. We appreciated the friendliness and cordial welcome of the apartment managers who made our stay enjoyable and we definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet place with plenty of room for several people. Chimney Rock Village and Chimney Rock are good places to visit and enjoy small town ambience.
We had a wonderful trip at Chimney Rock. This property is located at the base of the rock with an amazing view of rock above and river below. I enjoyed opening the back door in the mornings and listening to the river. House was clean.
Parking - Is directly in front on main street so while they do try to "hold" your designated spot with orange cones, it's not always available to you. It's also not very clear where to park when you arrive. The host was responsive and helpful.
Riverwatch Gift Shop is on the 1st floor and this property is on the 2nd floor. Riverwatch Bar and Grill is located next door. We ate at the grill the 1st night, food was yummy & service was great. Just note it's soooo close you can smell burgers and fries being cooked all day and night. You can also hear employees conversations below you from inside the gift shop and by the side grill entrance. The smell and lack of privacy were draw backs of this property for us.
Pictures do not do this apartment justice. It was amazing being in the heart of CR village, sitting on the decks & enjoying the views! Check in was simple & very accommodating. Would definitely recommend!
This property was perfect, we were right in the center of town with so many options to dine, shop or just look around! We come to Chimney Rock at least twice a year, we usually stay outside of town, thought we would try something different, and we were so glad we did! The hosts are super responsive, they made everything so easy from check in to check out.
A big plus- you never have to get in your car after you arrive if you don't want to! Everything is right there!
The apartment is gorgeous! Everything we needed and more. Very comfortable all around. So much bigger than the pictures, and both decks were awesome. The view from the back deck could not be better, you can just about touch Chimney Rock! Both bedrooms had beautiful views of Chimney Rock and walk outs to the deck. Definitely will be back! We had so much fun! Awesome mother and daughter's trip!
The perfect view and close to everything. The beds were comfortable and linens and towels were provided. My kids loved the arcade game! We plan to come back again.
Stayed here for Christmas weekend and we had a great time! The house was exactly as listed. Great location, clean, and comfortable. Had great views both in the back and front porch. But the view from the back porch was great and you could here the river from the porch. Will definitely make this to a annual visit! Definitely recommend this house!!
If you are looking for a relaxing, not so busy vacation- visit Chimney Rock in December! My husband and I stayed here over a weekend to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary! The apartment was everything we could have hoped for. We enjoyed the back balcony with the view of the creek and of Chimney Rock and the front balcony looking over the village. We ate dinner both nights at Riverwatch right next door. Fantastic food and the best staff!The gift shop right below the apartment was so cute, and the lady that works there is so nice and welcoming. We will for sure be back to visit Chimney Rock and stay at this apartment! We both voted that this was probably one of our favorite trips. I honestly can not say enough good things about this place.
The wife and I stayed here for a relaxing anniversary weekend. The communication and helpfulness of the property manager/owner made everything easy and stress-free. The location is perfect, being in the middle of Chimney Rock's shops and restaurants. It allowed us to walk to nearly everything we were drawn to do. The place is clean and well kempt.
If you want to be close to everything that is great about the Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area, this is the place to be. Restaurants, taverns, unique gift shops and more are all within easy walking distance. The apartment is clean, well appointed and the owners have gone the extra mile to provide all the little extras that make for a wonderful stay. People watching on the front deck and river viewing on the back deck was great. Having the managers right next door is a plus for sure and these young people are fantastic! We have stayed at a lot of places in the area and this one ranks amongst the best for us. Hats off to the owners for a job well done!
We had a wonderful time at Waterfront retreat. The apartment was clean and decorated nice. The view from the back deck was amazing. Front deck was nice also with street view. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants including winery and brewery. Will definitely stay again.
We loved this unique apartment amidst the hustle and bustle of Chimney Rock village. The front deck was excellent for people watching and we enjoyed looking at license plates driving by and seeing where everyone was from. The back deck was great for relaxing and listening to the river. We cannot wait to return.
The owners were extremely helpful. The kitchen was full of everything you need to prepare meals, including spices. There were tons of extra toilet paper, bath towels, blankets, pillows, etc. I will say it again, we cannot wait to return.
Perfect location! Modern and well-appointed, super clean with easy access. Met the ownerâs (adult) kids and they couldnât have been nicer. This place will go on my âReturn and Recommendâ list.
We've been coming to Chimney Rock for almost 20 years and know the area well. It was a great experience to stay right in town. Yes, things close early, but it's just something to plan for and there's so much to do even within a 30 minute drive of the area. We spent a lot of time in the water, which was easy to access from the apartment.
The apartment itself served our needs well. There were a few things that, given the cost of our trip, I would have expected to be a little bit different. There were only 3 washcloths; not a huge deal--but it did mean I washed them with other laundry every day. The closet in the right bedroom is unfinished and unusable. There's a bee/wasp issue on the back deck--which is an ideal location to sit and relax, but not at the risk of being stung [we have a family member with a bee allergy, which makes this more than an annoyance].
Would this keep me from staying again? Not really. It's a beautiful place in a great location. Lots of lovely touches, but it could use a little bit of attention to a few areas.
We planned a girls weekend trip & we couldnât have picked a better place! Everything was within walking distance. The place was very spacious & clean. The views were AMAZING! We enjoyed listening to the sounds of the River on the back porchâŠso peaceful! The host was awesome & prompt with communication. I am booking a trip there already for my husband & I in the fall! 5/5 stars!
