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!

Lake Lure Vacation

This was our first visit to Lake Lure and western North Carolina. We really enjoyed staying at the Happy Shack. There was plenty of room for our family. There were plenty of nice plush towels which I appreciate and the beds were comfortable. The resort of Rumbling on Bald was a great place to stay due to the amenities such as the pool, beach, tennis courts, pickleball and golf.

Home away from home

This home was just right for vacation with our five adult kids and grandson. We loved the outdoor dining area big enough for our crew, as well as two separate living areas. Beds were comfy, kitchen well-stocked, setting very peaceful, and we liked being within a 10-minute walk of the lake, pools, tennis courts, etc. The resort offered plenty of fun opportunities for games, swimming, and just hanging out together. Very thankful we chose this place!

Siblings Vacation

The house was great and fully stocked. It's proximity to the pool was great. We could walk or take the car.We took the Lake Lure boat tour our last day, how fun. The view of the green from the deck was spectacular, we spent a lot of time out there. We also took a day trip to Ashville and some of us tried out several of the trails in the mountains. My favorite place was the pool, we used it everyday! Thanks so much!

WOW!

This house had a great view and everything you could possibly need for your stay. We had several different family members staying with us so it was nice that there was 3 different levels to the house with bedrooms and bathrooms. The downstairs with the pool table and balcony was the best place to be during our stay. I would recommend this place to anyone! I will note that the stairs to go downstairs and upstairs are steep and not very suitable for the elderly, so just keep that in mind! We are so thankful for Fran!
