Gillford Cabin - Pet Friendly, Creek, Lake Access!

PET FRIENDLY | WOOD FLOORS | FIREPLACE | ROMANTIC | RIVERBEND AMENITIES | CREEK

Gillford Cabin is a lovely and private two-bedroom, two-bath Log Home situated along a small stream inside the gates of Riverbend at Lake Lure.

A large, wrap-around deck and covered front porch provide the perfect relaxed atmosphere for your morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or a family meal. Rockers are located on the covered portion of the deck, while the side is furnished with a table & chairs, an umbrella, and a gas grill. The kids will love playing in the creek while you watch and mingle on the deck. The sound of the water will delight you!

Entering the cabin's main level, the living room with cathedral ceilings also features a gas fireplace and flat-screen television with satellite TV. The dining area and the beautiful, fully equipped kitchen are just off the living room. Also on this level is the master bedroom with a king-size bed and the master bath with tub/shower combination & double sink vanity. Another half bath/powder room is also on the main level, just as you start up the staircase.

The cabin's upper level is home to the guest bedroom with a queen bed, a guest bath with a tub/shower combination, a double sink vanity, and a small reading nook.

"Riverbend at Lake Lure" is a private gated community with two private lakes (Big Mirror Lake & Little Mirror Lake) that allow for canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats (no motorized boats except electric), private access to the Broad River, picnic areas, gazebos, pavilions, hiking trails, beach area, swimming, fishing, and BBQ grills for your enjoyment. There’s an “Old Swimming Hole” along the river and a lovely Nature Walk where you can picnic and enjoy the community waterfall.

This community is only 6 miles from downtown Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village, where you’ll find something for everyone!

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.
Parking for three vehicles.
Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. local time or anytime after.
Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. local time or anytime earlier.

FOR LARGE GROUPS (up to 10 guests total), CONSIDER ALSO RENTING GILLFORD COTTAGE, WHICH IS NEXT DOOR TO GILLFORD CABIN, which has room for four more guests.

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.

Great place!
One son and I had a great "meet up" and hung out together for 3 days and nights. I always go up to Lake Lure to "get away" from the flat lands and the crap that goes with them. Since I was raised in the High Sierra, Lake Lure is the nearest thing I can get to "home".

This was our first time using this type of service so we were nervous. This cabin is beautiful and was so clean and well maintained. It will exceed expectations! If I had to suggest one thing it would be to upgrade the living area furniture with a cozy deep sectional and larger mounted TV. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

Perfect house
We came for a wedding and everyone was staying close to the venue, but we wanted to be away and get some peace and quiet. This is the perfect house just relax and know that you are in a beautiful cabin with all of the newness and cleanliness offered. We just loved our house. Thank you

peaceful retreat
We enjoyed our stay, but we were a bit frustrated with some of the limitation of this rental. The can opener was missing. We wanted to sweep the porch but there was not a broom available. The furniture did not fit the space, and the dining table was very small and flimsy. We did enjoy the outdoor table and umbrella! The lighting was too bright or the lamps were too dim. Don't mean to complain and we did enjoy our retreat. The cabin just felt like a rental rental property and not a comfortable home. Impossible to find at night without GPS due to dark roads. Enjoyed the Riverbank peaceful waterfall, hiking and lake! Thank you!

Quiet and comfortable log cabin in private gated community
We loved our stay! Great 2 bedroom log cabin in very quiet area. We loved the private lake. We brought our own kayaks. The deck was a great place to relax. We appreciated the washer and dryer. The pantry was great in the kitchen and kitchen was well equipped. We will stay again. Thanks!
