Got in a quick vacation with the family. Had a great time at the house and using the club amenities. Kids loved to foosball, swimming pool, fire pit and pickle ball courts. Plenty of room and great location.
Very comfortable home with nice furnishings. Much attention to details-quality linens, mattresses & kitchen/laundry supplies.Easy drive from resort & flat driveway for easy parking. Beautiful decks with nice outdoor furniture. Perfect fire pit area. Pretty mountain views.
Great place for a family getaway with space to spread out, play board games, enjoy meals and relax. Plenty of outdoor deck space and a fire pit for when the weather is nice.
Truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation with family. Plenty of activities nearby as well.
We LOVED our stay! Our son's wedding was held lakeside at Rumbling Bald this week. This home was the perfect place for our extended family to dine, play, relax and sleep over our long fall weekend celebration.
We had an amazing time at the property! It was comfortable and more than enough space for our family! It was a challenge to do things in the area, however, with the property being located on a resort it helped. Frances was also accommodating and very communicative!
The house was lovely and clean. The host could not have been more accommodating. It was great to have the amenities at the resort. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.
Fran was great with communication and all check in details and resort helpful hints. The Rumbling Bald resort was great, we took advantage of all the activities. House was clean and comfortable for all. Thanks for the memories!
My family loved our stay in your beautiful home and location. We had all the amenities needed for a wonderful time. Great communication with the owners. We would love to return in the future.
All six women in our group unanimously agreed this home was awesome. It was meticulously clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail made it feel “homey” and welcoming. We loved our stay here. Would recommend!
My family of seven had a great time at this resort and house. The house was perfect for my family, had everything we needed and was very clean. The owner was awesome with excellent and quick communication. I would strongly recommend this property to anyone.
We had a great stay at the lake! The home had plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen was well stocked. The bedrooms were comfortable and the kids enjoyed the upstairs area as well as the basement. We spent a lot of time on the deck taking in the beautiful view. We walked to the lake and pool areas several times. We can't wait to come back!
Recently stayed for a long weekend with my family, including 4 children. We had a great vacation and the house was perfect. Lots of space to gather as a family, and also plenty of nooks for the teenagers to get some time by themselves. While it did rain one full day we had plenty of room and comfort in the house and were able to enjoy the resort amenities. Lake Lure and still not available but there is plenty to do in Rumbling Bald. Would definitely come back!
The house was perfect for all events at the wedding venue at Rumbling Bald. House was roomy, comfortable and clean for our group of 11. House was well stocked with items promised in the listing. Owner was very accommodating and easy to contact.
Fantastic holiday! Second time staying at this property in 2023. Family holiday with 10 people aged 17-78. Plenty of room to spread out when needed and for gathering together. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Kids and adults enjoyed pickle ball and putt putt and other amenities.
Highly recommend this property. Great host! Great property! Fun location!
Our family reunion at Rumbling Bald Resort was action packed - and the rental home was big enough for us all. We enjoyed the deck immensely with it's view of Bald Mountain. The homeowner was very thoughtful to provide lots of information about her favorite restaurants and hikes, both inside the resort, and outside. In addition, she was happy to answer the many questions that come up regarding household supplies and she even had a high chair and pack 'n play for our 10 month old - very helpful!
Hi Fran,
We really enjoyed staying in your beautiful home last week.
The layout fit our family so well (our two young grandchildren and their parents upstairs and the rest of us downstairs) and the view off the back deck is gorgeous. The walkout level allowed our soccer fans to watch the World Cup at 4 am without waking the rest of us.
Take care and thank you Fran for your part in creating a memorable vacation.
We rented this house to accommodate family and friends for the weekend long event of our son’s wedding. It was perfect for entertaining (fully stocked) and close to the resort facilities. Francis was very accommodating, gave extensive property check-in info and was prompt to address any needs, I would definitely rent this home again.
(FYI- we did see a black bear outside the front door !)
We had an amazing stay here with another family with a total of 4 adults and 6 teens. There is so much to do with beach and pool access as well as golf (bring clubs!). We rented a boat and explored the lake, went nearby horseback riding and zip lining as well. No need to leave the resort though with so much to do! Property was perfect with amazing views. It was very hot so walking to beach/pool area was not ideal as it’s a little hike. I very rarely go back to the same place twice as we like to explore new areas but we’re already planning to come back next year and will definitely stay here again!
Our group of 8 older adult friends (3 couples and 2 singles) found that Forestway was just perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well stocked for us to prepare meals together and there was plenty of room around the dining table for good food and conversations. The beds and linens were lush and comfortable. Everything was clean and in good order and we all appreciated the stylish interior decorations that were just enough to make us feel at home. We were able to use the large TV in the lower level one evening to Zoom with 2 friends who could not be with us and enjoyed the sitting on the large deck during the warm afternoons. Although passes were available to use resort facilities, we enjoyed being together at the house and doing a couple excursions in the area, so never used the passes. Fran, our host, checked in with us to make sure all was good - and it was - it was a delightful time.
Our family had a fantastic 1 week vacation and this property was completely ideal!! We had one minor issue: 2 power outages. The owner promptly responded, notified the electric company, and checked that indeed power was restored!
We had a 1 year old with us and found everything we needed to accommodate him!
What a gorgeous view from the back yard! Rumbling Bald was lit up pink in the mornings!
You could tell the owner wanted to please us - most common consumables were well provided- including laundry detergent and trash bags, etc.!
Upon arrival we found everything clean and as advertised, including the chairs in the back yard and deck. We enjoyed several evenings eating outside as a result!!
We used up a propane tank and found two full spares! The owners have thought of everything!!
We enjoyed the pools, lazy river, a boat rental, hiking, Chimney Rock, the beach, the restaurant….The area had so much to offer, we may have to return for part II of this vacation!
The property was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. We stayed mostly on the patio and enjoyed the views during the brief breaks of rain. Hurricane Helene caused a lot of havoc including leaving us without power , cell service, or water. Our host's detailed instructions were crucial in locating the battery lanterns provided for us. We used the outdoor portable lanterns in the house as well. Unfortunately, we were unable to enjoy any of the amenities the house or the surrounding area offered, due to the hurricane. We had power for only a few hours after our arrival and had to leave the area prior to our original departure date due to safety. I would have enjoyed it if we were there in normal circumstances. Due to no cell service, we did our best to contact our host. Once we were out of the area, we were able to let her know what was going on. She was glad we were all okay and asked if she could help in any way. I would recommend this property for anyone visiting the area!
