Very comfortable and spacious

We had an amazing time at the property! It was comfortable and more than enough space for our family! It was a challenge to do things in the area, however, with the property being located on a resort it helped. Frances was also accommodating and very communicative!

Fantastic House

Recently stayed for a long weekend with my family, including 4 children. We had a great vacation and the house was perfect. Lots of space to gather as a family, and also plenty of nooks for the teenagers to get some time by themselves. While it did rain one full day we had plenty of room and comfort in the house and were able to enjoy the resort amenities. Lake Lure and still not available but there is plenty to do in Rumbling Bald. Would definitely come back!

Family reunion

Our family reunion at Rumbling Bald Resort was action packed - and the rental home was big enough for us all. We enjoyed the deck immensely with it's view of Bald Mountain. The homeowner was very thoughtful to provide lots of information about her favorite restaurants and hikes, both inside the resort, and outside. In addition, she was happy to answer the many questions that come up regarding household supplies and she even had a high chair and pack 'n play for our 10 month old - very helpful!

Lake Lure Home

We had a great stay at the lake! The home had plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen was well stocked. The bedrooms were comfortable and the kids enjoyed the upstairs area as well as the basement. We spent a lot of time on the deck taking in the beautiful view. We walked to the lake and pool areas several times. We can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Frances Phillips

Host profile image
In 2016, a family membered purchased a cabin home in Rumbling Bald Resort. We had never visited the area but immediately fell in love with Rumbling Bald Resort and the Lake Lure area of Western NC. In 2018, my husband and I purchased The Happy Shack (https://www.vrbo.com/1776620) and 2 years later a 2nd property - Forest Way (https://www.vrbo.com/27733842) . In 4 short years we have had the privilege to host more than 350 families in our family homes. We love being Vrbo Hosts and do all we can to assure each family has a wonderful stay. Forest Way is a new listing in 2022. We invite you to make your booking and promise to do all we can to assure you keep coming back.

Why they chose this property

We choose to purchase Forest Way in September of 2021. This house had the features to make it a great vacation rental property. A beautiful Year-round Mountain view and spacious 5 bedroom home were at the top of the list. The view never fades or goes away and 5 bedrooms makes everyone more comfortable. We then went to work updating the house and make it more comfortable for our guests stay. The home is only one-half mile to the lake and resort amenities which is very convenient. Walk or drive. It will not take you long to get there. It's simply an all day benefit to be close to the lake. Forest Way features 5 bedrooms, 7 beds, 3 full baths and two separate living areas to easily accommodate up to 12 guests during your stay. We added additional outdoor living spaces, including a fire pit, again for pleasant group gatherings. We enjoy spending time at Forest Way and want our guests to love it too!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful View of the rocky cliffs of Bald Mountain.
5 Bedrooms; 7 Beds
Large outdoor living spaces
Fire Pit
Close to Lake and resort amenities.
Location is close to lake and amenities but is also quiet and private.
