The location and View was beautiful! Actually getting to the house was easy and the location was great. More parking than other houses and places I’ve seen and been to. The inside was nice and comfortable for everyone. There is an issue with the AC not being able to keep up on a hot day, that certainly would help to get a five star rating. Being part of the Rambling bald resort to use their amenities is a great advantage and makes up for any others issues that could arise. Overall I would recommend it and stay again.

My family and I stayed at the sunset retreat and had a wonderful time our host was great with following up with any of our needs! The house was spacious and clean with great views! The host even mailed back my daughters favorite stuffed animal after we left at there which was amazing!

This rental home was perfect for our family of 6 adults, one teen, and 2 under 12. The house was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and because it’s a split level we all felt a sense of privacy when we just needed it. The outdoor decks gave us all the perfect location to sit comfortably together and enjoy the gorgeous views. The resort amenities were enjoyed by all of us. The road up to the house and the driveway were steep as others have mentioned but totally worth it. If you want the Mountain View’s you gotta work for it. We all talked about coming back again next year and staying longer. The kitchen is well equipped. I’m trying to think of Something it is lacking but I am drawing a blank. 5 of 5 from our crew!

The area, the stuff nearby, and the house were great. We rented there last year and the whole family wanted to return (which we did - and loved it again). The view is beautiful with a long vista. The house is comfortable for I think as many as 10 people. It is a 23 minute drive from hiking at Chimney Rock, and about 50 min. to Ashevil rivers, eating and shopping in Chimney Rock Village, Flowering Bridge, burgers at Riverwatch restaurant. Other restaurants we enjoyed - LaStrada, Lake House, Victory Kitchen, and Legends (at the resort). The resort great to have access to. It creates nearby options for the kids, and we have enjoyed pickleball, swimming (pool and lake), weight room, pontoon boat rental, and paddleboard and kayak rental. We also waterskied with Lake Lure Adventure (Dylan, our captain was fantastic). As far as downsides, the house can be a little stuffy during the day (but it cools down completely at night), the steep and curvy roads take some getting used to, it's a 20 minute drive to Ingles grocery store. But the house and area far outweigh. Other notes - property manager (Ernie) has been good to work with, and housekeeping folks seem to do a nice job. Our only other comment would be to encourage Ernie and the owners to talk with the neighbors about some tree trimming for the view toward the lake. The top deck has a million dollar view of the lake. But the bottom line is, we love this place and want to go back.

Our extended family of 9 (ranging in age from 8 weeks to 65 years) went to celebrate Christmas and had a wonderful time. The house's views were even better than the listing. There was plenty of space for everyone and it was very close to attractions like ziplining, Chimney Rock, and of course the Lake. The kitchen was well-appointed, and it was especially helpful that the property had a pack and play with a bassinet available so we didn't have to lug ours along. Some things to be aware of (didn't take away from our visit, but are good to know!) -The outdoor steps on the deck were very steep and outdoor lighting was a little dim. Definitely need to use care when going up or down after dark. -there is a gate on the deck steps but our smaller dog (35 lbs) was able to squeeze right through it, meaning he could just roam freely whenever he wanted without close supervision -the AC/heat was locked, so could not be self-adjusted. When we asked the host they said it could be controlled remotely by then if we requested, and when the connection did not work they reached out to ensure we could find the keys and adjust it if we needed to. We ended up leaving it alone, but the temperature differential throughout the house was pretty dramatic. If you must have a specific temperature to be comfortable, it's good to know. Overall, it was a fantastic property that suited our needs, and the deck with the views was an added bonus. We had a great time and would definitely stay again!

This house was perfect for me and my family (3 senior citizens, 3 teenagers, 2 adults). It had spectacular views and plenty of sitting space for us all to gather. The kitchen had everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner. We spent time in Lame Lure, Chimney Rock, Black Mountain, Mount Mitchell, and even toured Biltmore House and enjoyed it all dressed up for Christmas. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Beautiful, relaxing view from deck. Cleanliness top notch. Had issues pop up with internet and property but host responded professionally, appropriately, and quickly.

Stayed here to celebrate a 70th birthday with family. Nice clean house with beautiful views. Host replied immediately about an air conditioning issue. Would definitely stay here again! We all loved it!
