About this house rental

Our lakehouse offers access to two lakes in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The lakehouse fronts on Bald Mountain Lake, which is reserved for non-motorized water recreation. Our guests have access to our 4-seat Sea Eagle boat with quiet E-propulsion electric motor to explore the lake. We also provide 2 Stand Up Paddleboards and 2 kayaks. The large, flat back yard offers a fire-pit (we provide firewood) and plenty of space to hang out and play. Buffalo Creek flows through the property and into the lake. The lakehouse has a fireplace and hot tub. Buffalo Creek Park, which includes miles of hiking trails, is a pleasant five minute walk from our house. The property has high-speed wi-fi (200 Mbps) and we provide a free Level 2 EV charging station. Our property was impacted by Hurricane Helene on Sept 27, 2024. Pictures of the property have not yet been updated since the storm. Please read the full update at the end of the description below for more details.

Our home includes five bedrooms and three bathrooms. We have a fireplace in the living room (we provide fire-logs during the cool months) and a screened porch on the second level with views of the lake. We have an outdoor gas grill (we provide the propane).

Our property is within the Resort at Rumbling Bald which has frontage on Lake Lure. Guests can enjoy the amenities of the resort, which include:

• Free access to the beach on the north shore of Lake Lure (status of beach access on Lake Lure for 2025 is unclear at this time due to impacts/ restoration work from Hurricane Helene).
• Two world-class golf courses.
• Wellness center featuring dry sauna, indoor pool, hot tub, steam room and fitness center. All included in your stay!
• Two outdoor pools & Outdoor lazy river. Open daily from Memorial May to Labor Day and weekends for two weekends before and after.
• Tennis, volleyball, putt-putt and basketball courts.
• Outdoor games including corn hole, horseshoes and giant chess/checker boards-- Putt-putt course
• Legends on the Lake restaurant, which has a back deck with views of Lake Lure.

Some of the amenities, such golf, have associated resort fees. Others, such as beach access, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna and hiking, are free for guests.

Our home is a 25 minute drive to Chimney Rock State Park, and one hour to Asheville. The nearest grocery store (Ingles) is about 20 minutes away. There is a small convenience store 2 miles from the house.

Great family retreat for all seasons. Please visit Rumbling Bald Resort website to see what activities will be available at the time of your stay. Some of the restaurants are seasonally closed or operate with limited hours.

We will consider allowing a pet (dog only) to be brought with guests on a case by case basis. We generally will allow one dog to be brought if under 50 pounds if guests agree to follow our house rules on pets. Please let us know if you wish to bring a pet and we can review the house policies.

• Primary renter must be 21+ years old to rent.

Cell-phone service in Lake Lure and Rumbling Bald is spotty. Smart phones can be enabled via Settings to use the wi-fi at our house to make phone calls using the wi-fi calling function.

Hurricane Helene Update: Our property was impacted by the historic flooding in western NC from Hurricane Helene on Sept 27, 2024. Fortunately, the lakehouse was not damaged. However, Buffalo Creek experienced significant flooding that has changed the appearance of the property along the lake shore. We have closed the lakehouse until May 1, 2025 so we have time to restore the property.

One change to the property that we may not be able to rectify in 2025 is that the flooding of Buffalo Creek deposited a significant amount of sand into the confluence of the creek and Bald Mountain Lake, which has made it too shallow for us to put the dock back in place (it was washed away in the flood but we found it across the lake!). We are hopeful the lake will be dredged again to restore the lake to its original depth but we don't know when that will occur at this time. Our guests will still have access to the Sea Eagle Boat, SUPs and kayaks, but we can not guarantee when the dock will be back in place.

We will be installing new landscaping on the property in March - April of 2025 and will post updated photos of the backyard and lake at the end of April. Recognizing that the new landscaping will take some time to get fully established, and since we are unsure when the dredging will be performed, we are offering the lakehouse at a discounted rate in 2025 (about $150 a night lower) relative to our previous rates.

As of this writing (Dec 2024) the water on Bald Mountain Lake and Lake Lure have not returned to their usual shimmering blue-green color. A lot of sediment flowed into the lakes from the storm and it will take time for it to all settle. If you make a reservation with us, we are happy to provide ongoing and honest updates on how the restoration process is going. We have a generous cancellation policy if you decide to change your plans as we get closer to the date of your booking.

Great location. Enjoyed the various watercraft at the house, the views, and the resort amenities. Spacious house for us (five adults, two teens, and one child). Bedroom/bathroom is a little strange (main level has three bedrooms but one bath; lower level has two bedrooms and two baths)

We went in early May and had a great time. Rumbling Bald is a nice resort with activities, pool (indoor and outdoor-in season). The onsite restaurants were good, and my wife enjoyed a nice spa day. The kids had plenty to do between all the activities and games at the home, plus the natural attraction of the lake. Being on the private lake-Bald Mountain was nice as it stayed quiet and lightly trafficked; I'm sure it gets much busier during the regular tourist season. Everything described was accurate. The layout of the house is neat for a short stay. Like most of the area, you need to be able bodied around steps. Hosts-Brownie and Leigh Anne-were both outstanding. Couldn't ask for nicer, more responsive people. Thank you for an excellent stay. Weather warning-not sure if it was typical (maybe the new typical), but it was pretty wet while we were there with rain showers and severe storms. The power even went out briefly. That said, we still had plenty of time to roam about, visit Chimney Rock for a day, etc.

This house was lovely! We really enjoyed having access to water activities right on the property. We went for a long weekend with a group of women and everyone had a great time. It was really nice to be able to use the property amenities that we spend the majority of our time at the house, because there was so much to do. We all agreed that we should come back for another trip!

Property is great for you and old. Love all the activities for the kids and the adults could be part of the action without having to clumb a ton of stairs. Best spot on the lake!
