This adorable lake house has everything you need for a fun girls weekend! Each room has its own bathroom and privacy. The lake house has access to lots of fun activities at the rumbling bald resort. We did some kayaking and hiking. We would love to come back in the summer to do some swimming at the beach! The house is located close to the adorable lake lure shops and chimney rock state park. We did a lot of leaf peeping and hiking. We can’t wait to come back!

This house was absolutely perfect for our recent vacation. It was clean, spacious, comfortable and decorated beautifully. The kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed for the meals we cooked. The location inside Rumbling Bald was quiet and private but with many great amenities close by. We enjoyed playing pickleball, sitting out on the beach, and taking a pontoon boat ride. We also took day trips to nearby Chimney Rock and Asheville. We will definitely be back!

If you know bears are around why don't you have bear spray or an airhorn?

It’s a really great spot inside the gates of Rumbling Bald; however, the first night we got ate up by spiders, or something, in the beds, and the basement bedroom is creepy. There are noises coming from a code entry door by the bed, and, I guess, rust drip stains from a different door in the bathroom area. Not sure what’s behind it, didn’t want to know. It does seem like it doesn’t get cleaned under and around furniture in the house. But, it does have the necessary items in the kitchen, and after we washed the sheets and comforters, I don’t think we got many more bug bites. We did also have a black bear on the back porch come visit and knock on the door. But, overall, it provided a great place to enjoy Rumbling Bald.

Four of us stayed here because we were playing in 2 golf tournaments in Rumbling Bald. The scenery is beautiful. The home was very clean. The decks were so nice to sit out on in the evenings and early mornings. Everything worked fine and the fire pit was terrific to have each night. The kitchen was very well stocked. We certainly appreciated the Vacasa General Manager ensuring that we had extra bedding for the person who slept on the couch. Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience a week before our stay with the local person who was supposed to be the property manager - so we dealt with the Vacasa General Manager of the entire area of Western NC and SC. Sue R. was fantastic - she really understood our frustration and fixed all of the miscommunications and non-communications quickly. We are all very appreciative that she stepped in and helped us. The house was serene and worked well for the 4 of us. Only issue was lack of water pressure, but that's probably common in that area. Overall, a wonderful house - we would stay there again.

Love the house but on the second night the power went out and was told it wouldn’t be back on until the next morning. So we went home.

We really enjoying visiting Rumbling Bald over New Years and hope to come back another (warmer) time of year to take advantage of the outdoor and lake activities. Great cabin, just as advertised. Thank you!

The cabin was very nice the only thing that happened was the upstairs tub did not drain correctly. It was no big deal we just used the shower down stairs. You would not know that was an issue unless you were told so no problem. We enjoyed our stay and will return when in the area. Thank you

We shared the house with another couple and our 10 month old. The house itself was well maintained, clean, and comfortable! Plus, the included amenities provided endless actives on-site. Be prepared for lots of twists and turns as you drive up the mountain, but honestly as someone who loves mountain driving that was one of my favorite parts.

House was nice and the area was beautiful.. Well equipped kitchen and well stocked for our stay. The only complaints that we have are first the pet fees are a little extreme and well hidden in the listing. The second concern was the lighting in the kitchen area. Because the house is back in the mountain there was very little natural light and the kitchen was very dark. Overall nice location and above all we enjoyed time with our family.

We had a great experience at the Carolina Cardinal House. It had the feeling of being secluded in the woods yet the lake and resort amenities were just a few minutes away. It was the best of both worlds for our family.

House was as described in listing, clean. And well -cared for. No concerns - master bed is a bit uncomfortable but not a big deal and downstairs is musty but I think this is unavoidable. Well-stocked kitchen. It is on a beautiful street but is up in the mountains- about 5-7 minutes to get to the Rumbling Bald resort area. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood (not very many houses so mostly just beautiful woods) but it is very hilly. Amenities at Rumbling Bald were great and easy to access. It takes about 20 minutes to get to downtown Lake Lure. It was a fair amount of driving but all very beautiful.

Looking for a crash pad with some extras over the long weekend and found it. The place was setup well to just bring in food, etc and be ready to cook and get some downtime. Some issues with the cleaning quality, dog toy and bone under the couch, lots of dog hair under furniture and fans needed a really good cleaning. Otherwise good. Super peaceful near end of the road and likely wouldnt stay here again as the outdoor space just wasnt comfortable and that was disappointing but also I get it if you arent there so the furniture choices have to be sparse and metal.

My sister, brother inlaw, wife, and I greatly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of our stay at the Carolina Cardinal and I highly recommend. Sitting out on the back deck was my favorite part of our vacation. I would definitely like to stay here again.

I must say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cardinal property! Traveling in 30 deg weather with children we greatly appreciated coming into a nice and toasty home. I will say, the driveway was a bit misleading. It was listed as being able to fit 8 cars and we had a Ford Explorer, Stinger and an Altima and we barely fit. Also, on the very last day, our guests got locked in the upstairs room.. the door was a bit tricky. Other than that we all enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider renting again! Thank you for having us!

We enjoyed the unit very much overall BUT strongly recommend putting a handicap bar in the main floor bath room. My wife is 75 and slipped in the tub with nothing to hang on to. Her head struck the commode and left her with a large gash that required 9 staples and an MRI at the local hospital. An inexpensive handicap bar would have prevented that. Other than that it is a great place.

All is good besides the resort's customer service. Please provide internet. Phone reception is bad and it's almost impossible to go online.
