Charming, cozy cabin with open floor plan in Riverbend sleeps 5-6 comfortably. Two private lakes, private beach and river access. Front and rear decks for enjoying the beautiful scenery, gathering with family and friends, or savoring a quiet moment on the front porch swing! Outdoor propane firepit and indoor fireplace for cool evenings.

Most Lake Lure restaurants and shops are open for business, however, and will appreciate your support!

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!

Location was not to our liking. Was not conducive to any golf or fishing
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.
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
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.
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!
Richard & Diane and family
Everything was wonderful. Owner was exceptional providing for our needs. We felt like it was a definite home away from home. Thank you Noreen, for every extra detail.

They thought of everything! Lovely cabin with everything you can think of - phenomenally well stocked with linens, towels, kitchen items… just everything you could need. You can’t go wrong staying here!
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.
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.

Overall good, but a few hiccups
The property itself is overall nice, but the gravel roads to get there were a bit of a pain. We did run into an internet availability problem, but it was due to the owner's plan not providing a high enough data limit for the amount of data that we used over our 2 week stay, which did involve M-F work that required internet usage.
This property was clean and met our needs. The full kitchen was great with the limited options for later in the evening. If you are someone that gets motion sick, please be advised all the roads in this area can be challenging.
A fabulous escape awaits you and your dog at JR’s Cabin! My partner and I took a long weekend here with our fuzzy little pup and it was amazing. The cabin is warm and welcoming, with well-appointed rooms and delightful touches. We loved the dog bowls already set out, the excellent cookware and the mindfulness coloring books and pencils! Having a secure fenced yard for our dog was priceless, and we loved relaxing on the porch almost as much as he did! The proximity to water recreation and great hiking was outstanding. At the end of the day, we could unwind with a beautiful stroll down the quiet, rustic road or veg out with excellent cable options or wi-fi time on our own devices. The owners are kind folks who are generous with their itinerary suggestions and assistance. Look no more— this is the one!
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!
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.
beautiful cabin---incredibly well-equipped in a lovely community!! Could not ask for more!!! Thanks!

About the host
Hosted by Noreen James
Our family has owned JR's Cabin since 2015, and we have made a lot of wonderful memories there! It is named for our family patriarch, "JR McCoy." We retired to North Carolina from Tennessee in 2022, bought our "forever home" nearby, and wanted to offer others the chance to make some memories of their own in our little slice of heaven in the woods. Relax, set awhile on the front porch, breathe deeply ... and ENJOY!
Why they chose this property
Peace and quiet in the NC mountains! One-level cabin is perfect for gathering with family and friends on the porch or around the firepit! Just a short drive to Canopy Ridge Ziplining and Lake Lure Village.
