We had an amazing stay. There were nine of us, and we had plenty of room. The kitchen was super and had every utensil and appliance you could want with very nice pots and pans.My only recommendation for someone wanting to stay is to arrive in the daylight. The last seven miles to the house are steep and very curvy. Also, print your directions. When we arrived at the gate into the resort, my phone had no service, so I didn't have the rest of the directions to the actual house. The guards at the gate were extremely helpful though and very friendly. Everyone at this resort was very friendly and welcoming.We hope to stay again in the summer.Just loved this house.

Quick Getaway

My husband and I rented this house in Rumbling Bald during our visit to Lake Lure. I can't say enough good things about this place! The owner was so helpful with check in and info about Rumbling Bald. It was stocked with everything we could need. The beds were comfortable. The location was so quiet and cozy! It was nestled in the woods with a great view from the large deck. We had access to all amenities. I would highly recommend this house if you are looking for a fun, relaxing getaway! I will definitely keep this one on my list of favorites!

We celebrated a birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The place was perfect for golfing, basketball, pickle ball and spa days. Loved sitting out on the deck.
