Beautiful place. It was quiet and very relaxing during Thanksgiving week. A bit cool and had frost the day we left. Absolutely beautiful to walk that resort. Golf course was beautiful. Leaves were still showing some color and mountain backdrop made it very enjoyable with a cozy fireplace in our cabin.
Went for a wedding, looks to be a nice resort. Have ate the restaurant there in the past when vacationing at lake lure. It was nice as well.
A nice enough place. Roads are a bit of a mess, and there's no good quick way to drive from one side of the lake to the other. But all in all a nice place. There's an amazing mountain bike loop. I would highly recommend it. Lots of swoopy down hill stuff. That is if you can make it to the top first.
Wonderful resort, beautiful lake, and great restaurants. Stayed at "Doc's Holiday" through VRBO fantastic house with a beautiful view, and fantastic, relaxing creek on the property. Great getaway!
An absolutely beautiful resort in the mountains of North Carolina just 1 hour east of Asheville. There is a lovely swimming lake on the property, as well as indoor and outdoor pools, mini-golf, regular golf, a small playground, a spa, 2 restaurants and a couple of shops. A great family getaway within driving distance of DMV. The only shortcomings are that the restaurants leave quite a bit to be desired, and if there is inclement weather, there is almost nothing to do with the kids. It is really lovely overall though with some gorgeous views, and very relaxing. One word of caution, beware the bears and read up on how to avoid contact!
Stayed for a few days at privately owned house. Rumbling Bald is a great getaway in the mountains. Lots of things to do within the community. (fishing, golfing, boating, tennis, restaurants). Lots of fun stuff around it as well (zip lines, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding). Just a nice, family friendly, change of pace. Will make it a regular stop every year.
Beautiful location, breathtaking views, and plentiful amenities. This resort boasts everything you'd need for a mountain retreat. The grounds are well maintained and the staff is friendly. You'll find no shortage of things to do. Tennis, golf, water sports, hiking, or treat yourself to a spa day. It's all here.
• A spectacular natural setting. The locations of the wedding gazebo, reception area and pavilion (used for Friday’s rehearsal dinner) have breath-taking views of the lake, forests and mountains. The natural beauty is hard to match at another venue.
• Beautiful Lake Lure offers water sports and pontoon sight-seeing.
• Wonderful side-trip opportunities for guests – Chimney Rock, Asheville and more.
• Two “national class” golf courses in outstanding condition with affordable green fees.
• The chef who prepared our rehearsal and reception dinners delivered meals everyone raved about… a challenge with small groups and usually unheard of when serving 200 people.
• RB provided us a list of wedding planners. We chose Mary Bell who was among the best people we’ve ever worked with. We believe any bride AND venue will benefit from Mary’ planning / implementation expertise.
The resort was in the middle of a transition during our daughter's wedding. The new management team is implementing their plan, which could lead to a 5 star rating by the end of 2017.
Always a great time here. Rooms are nice and clean. Lots of amenities. Any time we have ever had a problem they have done their best to fix it. We stay here often and highly recommend.
Rumbling Bald Resort is the place to stay in Lake Lure. They've got an awesome indoor pool with a hot tub and a steam room, several outdoor pools (they weren't open when I went but they looked like they'd be fun), a beautiful golf course, a bar, a restaurant on the lake, a workout circuit for runners, a huge games (chess, checkers, connect four) by the wellness center. You could have an awesome vacation without ever leaving the resort (I would though, Chimney Rock is pretty close and it's a great day trip if you like hiking).
The resort is very nice. It has plenty of amenities to keep you entertained. My only complaint is that the on-site restaurant was rather mediocre. My girlfriend had a chicken parmesan sandwich which came with extremely soggy bread. Other than that, most of the amenities are pricey, but not horribly unreasonable. The views definitely make the trip worth it.
The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. We thourally enjoyed eating our lunch looking over Lake Lure with the mountains in the background. The staff that we had the pleasure of meeting were absolutely wonderful! They were very knowledgeable about the entire area and we could tell they loved their jobs. The resort is signed well and we had no trouble finding did get our way around. I have never seen a resort as well maintained. I would give 10 stars if I could. We did the scenic lake tour with lunch at Larkin's, David was our captain and we really enjoyed it.
The rooms are nice but the rugs haven't been cleaned in a while. We had a small child visit us and when we looked at their feet they were black. Well maintained otherwise inside and out. We had a wonderful meal at the resort restaurant. Medium priced.
