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!

Met Our Every Need
Our group of 8 older adult friends (3 couples and 2 singles) found that Forestway was just perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well stocked for us to prepare meals together and there was plenty of room around the dining table for good food and conversations. The beds and linens were lush and comfortable. Everything was clean and in good order and we all appreciated the stylish interior decorations that were just enough to make us feel at home. We were able to use the large TV in the lower level one evening to Zoom with 2 friends who could not be with us and enjoyed the sitting on the large deck during the warm afternoons. Although passes were available to use resort facilities, we enjoyed being together at the house and doing a couple excursions in the area, so never used the passes. Fran, our host, checked in with us to make sure all was good - and it was - it was a delightful time.

We rented this house to accommodate family and friends for the weekend long event of our son’s wedding. It was perfect for entertaining (fully stocked) and close to the resort facilities. Francis was very accommodating, gave extensive property check-in info and was prompt to address any needs, I would definitely rent this home again.

Rumbling Bald Lake Lure
We had an amazing stay here with another family with a total of 4 adults and 6 teens. There is so much to do with beach and pool access as well as golf (bring clubs!). We rented a boat and explored the lake, went nearby horseback riding and zip lining as well. No need to leave the resort though with so much to do! Property was perfect with amazing views. It was very hot so walking to beach/pool area was not ideal as it’s a little hike. I very rarely go back to the same place twice as we like to explore new areas but we’re already planning to come back next year and will definitely stay here again!

Fantastic stay!!
Our family had a fantastic 1 week vacation and this property was completely ideal!! We had one minor issue: 2 power outages. The owner promptly responded, notified the electric company, and checked that indeed power was restored! We had a 1 year old with us and found everything we needed to accommodate him! What a gorgeous view from the back yard! Rumbling Bald was lit up pink in the mornings! You could tell the owner wanted to please us - most common consumables were well provided- including laundry detergent and trash bags, etc.! Upon arrival we found everything clean and as advertised, including the chairs in the back yard and deck. We enjoyed several evenings eating outside as a result!! We used up a propane tank and found two full spares! The owners have thought of everything!! We enjoyed the pools, lazy river, a boat rental, hiking, Chimney Rock, the beach, the restaurant….The area had so much to offer, we may have to return for part II of this vacation!

Beautiful Home
Hi Fran, We really enjoyed staying in your beautiful home last week. The layout fit our family so well (our two young grandchildren and their parents upstairs and the rest of us downstairs) and the view off the back deck is gorgeous. The walkout level allowed our soccer fans to watch the World Cup at 4 am without waking the rest of us. Take care and thank you Fran for your part in creating a memorable vacation.

We will be back!
Our family gets together every year in a new location, and this is one I would definitely recommend and come back to. The house was perfect for our group. Kitchen was well stocked to bake birthday cake and other treats, as well as prepping dinner every night. There were multiple living spaces for everyone to spread out when needed. And the Mountain View from the deck was beautiful. The amenities of the resort are very close, but highly recommend renting a golf cart for convenience if staying again. I wasn’t anticipating the elevation changes of the area (rookie mistake). We spent lots of time at the pool, beach, and putt putt, even rented a boat at the North Shore Cabana. While not everyone in our group would agree, I thought our repeated bear sightings were a nice little mountain surprise! Overall great for families who like a mix of active and relaxing vacations. The listing is accurate and the owners were quick to communicate when needed.

We were looking for a place to stay outside of Asheville when we found Fran’s property. It turned out to be the perfect fit for us. It provided space for our family to be together and enough room to sprawl out. The view was amazing. The kitchen was very functional.

Wonderful home
Wonderful home in Rumbling Bald. The house was a great layout for the grandparents on the main floor where the living room and kitchen were located while the younger family members slept comfortably upstairs. We always look for a home to accomodate the 80+ year olds in our family who cannot do steps. This house was perfect. We took advantage of everything the resort offered (pool, boating, tennis, mini golf). Great house in a great location.

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.
