Look no further, you've found it! This cozy space has everything you need for a great Lake Lure getaway! Come and enjoy all that the mountains & Lake Lure have to offer. Relax & recharge from a busy day of hiking, biking, or site seeing in the comfortable queen bed while watching your favorite streaming programs on the large Sony smart HD TV. Extra guests or kiddos also have the option to sleep on the new La-Z-Boy brand pull-out sofa bed. Plan to cook the whole time your here? The quaint kitchen gives you the opportunity to do just that. Plan to eat out every meal and bring back all of your to-go boxes so you can have a midnight snack later? The full size refrigerator gives you the space you need to store all of your groceries and leftovers. Guests particularly love the back balcony with outdoor seating for six around the table and views of the woods and mountains. Plenty of birds and squirrels can be seen from the back balcony, but don't be surprised if you happen to see deer or even the occasional black bear passing through! This unit also gives you the luxury to access all of the Rumbling Bald Resort amenities.

We would love to host your next fun family getaway, holiday, golfing trip, romantic wedding, anniversary, or site-seeing visit to the mountains & lake! Let us become your new annual destination for any occasion like many of our other valued guests. We look forward to hearing from you!

Quick overnight stay

High ratings for cleanliness. The condo is an end unit upstairs and so it is very private and quiet. Despite being upstairs, because it is on a mountain, the front is nearly ground level which made it extremely easy to enter the property. Parking was super convenient. We have high standards and this rental met or exceeded expectations. We will definitely ask for this unit again next time visiting Lake Lure.

Summer Vacation at Rumbling Bald

The studio was small but fine for my daughter and I and we loved that we were allowed to bring our dogs. It was well appointed and clean and a great location only a few minutes drive from all the amenitites at Rumbling Bald. The only advice I would give is if you are planning to use the pull out couch, make sure to bring a camp cushion or other supplemental cushion - that made all the difference in a good night's sleep on the pull out couch.

Great Mountain Getaway!

This was the perfect little place for a mountain getaway! It was so conveniently located to the Rumbling Bald Resort and everything Lake Lure had to offer! We had an issue with the WiFi when we got there but the hosts responded quickly and got the issue resolved for us in a timely fashion! They aren't kidding when they say intermittent cell service but we were able to do everything we needed with the WiFi. It was a great experience overall! We would definitely stay again!

Only spent one night here but overall good experience. A little issue with internet but was solved quickly. If you don't mind waking up to the sounds of roosters and other birds and having connecting terrace with your neighbors, this is a great place to stay in Rumbling Bald. Amazing amenities and golf course!

Perfect Lake Lure Getaway!

My husband & I and our dog enjoyed our short stay at this cute & cozy villa. The unit was clean, comfortable & nicely stocked with all of the essentials. We especially loved sitting out on the back deck overlooking the woods…such a peaceful spot! The villa was a perfect home base during our visit to beautiful Lake Lure. Rumbling Bald Resort is lovely & has some great amenities to offer, unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to enjoy them. Overall, a wonderful experience & we’d definitely book again for a future visit!

Lovely Condo

This is a beautiful condo, has everything one needs. Nicely located, too. Very near the Rumbling Bald Resort, if you are interested in that. Very quiet area, especially in February. The owner was available for any problems. No problems except the TV, and that was our fault for not knowing now to operate the remote.

End of Summer Family Trip

With one newly graduated Senior, and one more headed back to High School very quickly. Summertime was fast escaping us. We wanted and needed a Family Trip that would cover all interests and provide the comfort of home. The Apply Valley unit was just the place. All the comforts of home nestled in the beautiful mountains. From the moment we walked into the front door all the way to the back patio we were engulfed beautiful scenic views, and all the conveniences of home. The monopoly game on the back porch deck to that cup of morning coffee each moment was spent together. The resort amenities had something for everyone. Games, fishing, swimming, and great food. The entire family enjoyed our stay. Thank you for opening your home to our family. We will definitely be returning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
I was not able to stay due to poor communication, I never received any correspondence regarding a code to get in to the so called cabin, which was also false advertising I believed I was renting a cabin and it turned out to be a condo. I still had no code to get in and had to rent a room in Lake Lure. When I returned home on September 24 I only then found an email with a code I had already left for the vacation and did not take a computer with me. I was on my phone the day I arrived trying to get a code to get in sent to my phone and that never happened. I am disputing this with my credit card company and Verbo. This was a very disapointing experience.

The perfect, peaceful place!

This was me and my husband’s first visit to Lake Lure and we were blessed to stay at Derek and Misty’s property. Not only were they some of the best hosts, the villa was fabulous! It was super easy to communicate with them, enter and exit the property, and we had everything we needed in their cozy and very inviting property. We highly recommended staying at this villa!
