GUEST INTERACTION:
I have family and some on-call staff for assistance. We may need to perform maintenance and routine groundskeeping from time to time. Otherwise we tend to allow our guests peaceful enjoyment of the space. Our digital guidebook answers most FAQs and provides information about the area.
A LITTLE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The Rumbling Bald Resort is absolutely beautiful. In the mountains and on Lake Lure at the same time. The views are amazing. It is definitely a "get away from it all" kind of place, yet full of fun things to do if you choose to participate. Quaint mountain towns nearby with lots of places to hike, horseback ride, zip lining, rock climbing, boating and fishing for those that like to commune with nature and be outside.
ACCESS TO HOUSE AND RESORT:
The guests have full access to the house except for the owner's closets. There are 2 flights of stairs to get into the house. Door access is keyless. The resort is gated. Be prepared to tell the guard the property address upon arrival. Guests have full access to the Rumbling Bald Resort amenities with their included guest passes. SOME RESORT AMENITIES REQUIRE A SMALL FEE, such as mini-golf and course golf, boat rentals and tours, and spa services such as massages, hair styling, facials, nails, etc. If you rent equipment such as tennis racquets, pickle ball paddles, etc there is a small fee. Bring your own to avoid those fees. There are many activities that require no fee, so enjoy!
ABOUT THE HOUSE AND THE AREA:
😄Mountain A'Lure sits up on the side of Rumbling Bald Mountain. It has beautiful mountain views when the leaves are shed but it is also very pretty and private when the leaves are there. Fall is beautiful with the changing colors. 🍁The house has a wrap around porch to take in all the beauty, parking for 4-5 vehicles and is a short 2 mile golf cart or car ride down to the amenities. The house has 4 bedrooms, all with king sized beds, and one of the four bedrooms also has a queen in the room in addition to the king. One king bedroom is on the main floor, two bedrooms are upstairs (one room with a king and the other with a king bed AND a queen bed AND the fold up bed) and on the ground level (bottom floor) is the fourth king bedroom. There are 3 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms. For the babies there is a pack and play, a high chair and a gate for the stairs. The kitchen is open to the dining area, sunroom and living room. The living room has a fireplace usable in the cooler months. A family/game room on the ground level which leads you out to the 6 person hot tub and our newly built stone patio complete with a stone fireplace to roast marshmallows and spend some time looking at the stars and enjoying the fire.
TRANSIT:
Car, golf cart within the resort, hiking and mountain biking.
