Didn’t do much but hang at the house but it was a nice change of scenery. The house is well stocked with everything you’d need. The beds and mattresses were comfortable and configured perfectly for families with small children. ##### claire b. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna B.

Owner was responsive to any needs we had. AND we got to see the bear!! He visited us one evening as we were eating dinner in the kitchen. We all viewed him on the railing of the deck. Accomodations were great. ##### Anna B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deidra W.

They home was so beautiful and welcoming. We when there for Christmas vacation and she had the house decorated for the holidays to where all we had to do was show up. All of the rooms had comfort bed and linens. Kitchen was well stocked. We can’t wait to go back next year. Also the view was amazing!!!! ##### Deidra W.

We loved the home in ever way. The location on #12 green was awesome. Being from a warm climate, we stayed in and cooked a lot and we found that the kitchen utensils were of very good quality, unlike many rentals where they just buy chintzy kitchen tools. The pool table downstairs was a big hit as well. The day we come back to the area, we will definitely book here again. ##### Erik C. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary H.

The house and property was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with very nice cookware and utensils. The beds were comfy and the linens were soft and if good quality (something you don’t find with most rentals). Fran was very responsive to our questions- not even about the house but about local attractions and activities. We will be back! Thank you for a great vacation spot! ##### Mary H.

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! ##### Sydney B.

The location of this house was beautiful! It’s on the pool and beach side of Rumbling Bald Resort, which we loved. The outdoor patio was great with children because there was no way for the kids to get off from outside. Fran did a fantastic job of stocking the house with all the extras we could have needed, from Tupperware to pots and pans and even a crockpot and instapot! We would have liked a vacuum to clean up after the kids a little easier and the living room rug could be replaced but other than that, we had a great time! ##### Kaitlin M.

It was well appointed, especially the kitchen!!! The beds were comfortable and we had alot of room to escape to if we needed any quite time. We loved the wrap around deck and got to see a bear at least twice across the way! Loved all the amenities that Rambling Bald had to offer....tennis, the pool, especially the Lazy River, the Lake, Golf....everything so close. We took the Lake Lure Scenic Boat Tour and we highly recommend that. We learned so much about the lake and how it came to be. We ventured out of the resort and enjoyed a 2 hour horseback ride, visited Souther/Williams winery, and took our 3 year grandson to pan for gems. We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent this house again. Thank you so much for your hospitality!!!! Nancy and David Wallace Greensboro, NC ##### Nancy W.
