This place is amazing. The views are breathtaking from every angle small pond within feet away . Hot tub and home made chess and checkers table on big screened porch with grill. We had so much fun here
The flowering bridge was 3 mins away as well as shopping and many restaurants
Would highly recommend staying here
Loved the location of the property, close to the flowering bridge and amenities in Lake Lure. Enjoyed having access to canoes. Also loved that it was pet friendly. Only complaints were that the a/c was not running very cool and as other reviewers have mentioned, it could really benefit from a good deep cleaning e.g. dusting walls, decorations/pictures on walls, behind the washer/dryer (since you can see this from the bathroom sink); sweeping off cob webs on porch and also shower curtain is moldy. But overall we enjoyed our visit! It was peaceful, quiet and relaxing.
Had a great time staying here. The cabin was even better then we expected. Very clean and super pet friendly. Dont understand how anyone could say anything negative. The cabin sits right on the lake. The view is partially obstructed by the trees but it is a very natural setting and adds to the privacy. The canoes were a definite plus. We Will definitely stay here again!
Secluded cabin on the lake but just mins from town! Relaxing screened in back porch with rocking chairs, hot tub and gas grill. The cabin was very clean, charming and had everything we needed for our weekend getaway! The use of the canoes was a plus!! Even have life jackets but we brought our own. The walk down to the lake was a bit steep so make sure you wear some shoes that will grip the rocks! There is free Wi-Fi but being in the wooded area and surrounded by mountains, it was sporadic at times, but we really didnât mind it at all! We appreciated the warm throws on the back of the couch at night! The hot tub was amazing! We will definitely be coming back!
The ease of booking, check in and out was great! Hot tub and gas fireplace were awesome! The cabin needs a good deep cleaning. Would have been nice to have a door or at least a curtain for the bathroom. DVD player was very finicky. Our biggest disappointment was the lake was drained. It would have been nice had we known. View was not appealing like the pictures showed. Overall a great weekend though!
We enjoyed the stay in Fishing Cabin. It was great for two people . BUT we were with the understanding that the WiFi was working.... I depended on that amenity as I knew from experience cell phones are come and go. We had no wifi in the cabin... none ! I was relying on the wifi working for business reasons. The owner later emailed me that I should have called him... One I didn't know a contact number Two, if you advertise that you have wifi (or any amenity) you should make sure it works before your guest arrives. Obviously that didn't happen. We ended up driving to Ingles grocery store and sitting in their cafe to obtain wifi connection. Would have been a great trip otherwise. The cabin was clean, the location was great, quiet and peaceful. Just what we were looking for. The shower needs repair by a professional but was usable with concern.
Our stay was wonderful and it was in a very quiet location right on the lake. The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway. The only complaint was that there were mouse droppings in the sink on our last morning and I messaged the property owner to make him aware and never got a response. Other than this the cabin was very clean and had everything we needed.
The cabin was neat and clean. Short walk to the water, beautiful view, nice screened in porch. Nice grill, but one burner would not light and the other was weak.
Altogether wonderful place to stay.
We stayed at the cabin for the second part of our honeymoon. We had a great time! The check-in process was so easy, the cabin was clean and the property was perfect. We would have loved to add an additional night but it was booked but we will be back for sure!
We loved what we saw online for our honeymoon and we were so excited about the stay. When we got there we noticed that the trees covered the beautiful view of the lake. Then it was a steep walk down to the lake. Also, we were NOT informed through VRBO that there was huge black ants all through the cabin. When we found out it was the day of the trip. Next the air conditioning did not throw out air we had to sleep without a quilt. The fireplace didnt even throw out heat during that cold snap.
I cannot rave about Pine Gables enough! We were looking for a weekend getaway and when Pine Gables popped up on my feed and checked all the boxes we said âWhy not?!â Lake Lure is a sleepy, peaceful little mountain town and the Fishing Cabin at Pine Gables was the perfect spot! Youâre close to town but feel secluded on the property! It was so relaxing to sit on the screened in porch at night and listen to natureâs soundtrack as we unwound for the weekend. The canoes were a treat and we paddled out around our little cove and up to the main channel. There are boat tours and rentals, as well as SUP boards and kayak rentals, nearby that add to the water fun! There were plenty of local restaurants and shops around that we would love to enjoy in the future. Our dog loved hanging out on the porch and by the water with us. The entire area seems very pet-friendly. We appreciate the serene and intimate settings Jim and his crew have provided on the grounds! We will definitely be returning to Pine Gables soon!
The owner never bothered us. Caanoes are right there, no check in, just go! We would have never been bothered, but I saw Jim Proctor and approached him. He is polite and respectful. I plan on going back very soon!
