About this place

Gillford Cottage - Creek, Private, Lake Access!

INTERNET | FIREPLACE | ROMANTIC | RIVERBEND AMENITIES | WOODED AREA | STREAM | PET FRIENDLY

** No Lake Lure this year? No problem! Riverbend Community features two private, easily accessible lakes perfect for summer fun. **

Gillford Cottage is a lovely two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-level log cabin situated along a creek in a wooded area inside the Riverbend at Lake Lure community.

The cabin features a fabulous screened porch with a table & chairs for outdoor dining, a nice gas grill, and... it directly overlooks the creek that runs into the Broad River. The sight and sound of the water are enchanting!

You will enter the great room, which consists of a fully equipped kitchen, a dishwasher, a dining area with seating for six, and a comfy living room with a gas fireplace & flat-screen TV.

The Master Bedroom has a king bed with a flat-screen TV & a full Master Bath with a tub/shower combo. The guest bedroom also has a Queen bed & a smaller flat-screen TV & the guest bathroom is also a full bath with a tub/shower combo.

"Riverbend at Lake Lure" is a private gated community offering two private lakes (Big Mirror Lake & Little Mirror Lake) that allow for canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats, 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.

Outside the gates of Riverbend Development, you’re only 6 miles from downtown Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village, where you’ll enjoy beautiful sights as well as numerous dining and shopping options!

LAKE LURE WILL NOT BE OPEN FOR RECREATIONAL BOATING, FISHING, OR SWIMMING IN THE 2025 SEASON. Although the lake is closed and lowered while Hurricane Helene cleanup continues, there is much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. LAKE ADGER, LAKE LANIER, SHUMONT LAKE, and MIRROR LAKE suffered no damage, so homes and those lakes are available. BALD MOUNTAIN LAKE in the resort is open and beautiful. We are welcoming guests in over 60 beautiful homes to use as a "home base" for visiting nearby towns, restaurants, shops, hiking areas, and seasonal special events in Lake Lure, Hendersonville, Asheville, Black Mountain, Saluda, and Tryon. Golf is open to the public at Rumbling Bald, and local area wineries, breweries, trails, and music are within an hour's drive. Many of the Chimney Rock shops are set up at the Tryon International Equestrian Center Pavilion. Chimney Rock Park is now open!

Smoking is prohibited in all of our vacation rental homes.
Parking 3 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 CABIN, WHICH IS NEXT DOOR TO GILLFORD COTTAGE, which has room for six 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 directly also enables a guest loyalty discount, available across our many properties upon your second stay.
