Great accommodations!

Our two daughters, one son-in-law and 2 grandchildren joined us for the week. The house was perfect to accommodate the three families, from space to cleanliness, well stocked (desperately need new can opener!), great location and the bonus of access to Rumbling Bald Lake was wonderful! We plan to come back. Thank you for a lovely home away from home.

Accommodations as advertised. Worked well for our family. We had two questions that we had to contact staff for - one was in the billing process when we registered and the other was a minor question when we entered the property. Both times the staff responded quickly and handled our concerns promptly and in way that we were pleased with.

Another awesome stay @ Moondance!

As usual, the place was in immaculate condition and all the folks at Exclusive were beyond helpful. It gets better each time we go back and it seems like the owners just keep adding little touches like the RB passes in the lanyards by the door. We go to RB every year and we'll stay in Moondance every single time if possible!!! Thanks again!

Thanksgiving at Moondance

We had a wonderful trip to Moondance Retreat! The townhouse had ample space for my family of 7. It was so nice to have a bath for each bedroom We ALL (ages 9-80) loved the amenities of Rambling Bald, which were included in the rental. We hope to be back in the future!

Just being honest!

I will start this review on the positive note.... A home away from home feel with beautiful views of the forest and greet location from Rumbling bald! Comfortable and clean with plenty of space with the exception of upstairs bedroom which is insanely hot! If u stay here with no issues with customer service u should have a great time! So to the cons, upon arrival was notified that maintenance/repair man would be replacing dishwasher door, (ok no worries). When we arrived, we found numerous suitcases in every room and coolers in kitchen! Contacted (Debbie) and explained situation. She replied with previous tenants left 5 days ago no idea why there's luggage in condo. Asked us if we were sure we are at the right location provided her with the address, door code, etc. on itinerary and booking from vrbo. So after bringing in all our luggage and removing all other luggage, we get a call from her saying WE are in the wrong house!? Thankfully maintenance S. arrives and explains that repair man mistakenly let wrong residents in thinking they were us! Seriously! Upon departure I get an email stating there is a pass missing and we are being charged $100! after back and forth with (Melissa) excusing his actions and taking no accountability, she ultimately refunded the fee with a Horrible negative attitude! Definitely do not recommend due to the negligence and horrible attitudes of Debbie and Melissa! There are plenty of other beautiful homes located on the water!

Amenities = Trash Bags

The house was lovely but be sure to read the fine print about what this company considers “amenities”. They have a very specific expectation for disposing of trash which includes putting it in your personal vehicle to take to an offsite location but do not make you aware of this until check in when you read the house manual. They also do not provide more than 2 trash bags. And these are thin, clear, office-style waste basket trash bags. You would think with an expectation like this, the least they could do is provide durable, thick trash bags. So be sure to pack those. Not providing laundry detergent is understandable and we didn’t plan on during laundry until our daughter became car sick coming up the mountain and we had to clean out a car seat. No detergent. No trash bags. Welcome to your VRBO. I also dislike that this management company does not communicate through the VRBO app. Separate emails, a house manual but nothing that holds them accountable. If you’re looking for a lovely home but no hospitality, this is the correct place.

Incredibly Clean and Convenient Rental

Pros: Condo was comfortable and incredibly clean. Our family has vacationed many times to Lake Lure and to other locations. This place was the cleanest we’ve ever seen. Condo was exactly what our family of five needed. The location is quiet and outside of the resort. No traffic to worry about. The front gate of the resort is less than a minute drive away. The condo looks like it was recently renovated. Flooring looks brand new, furniture looks and feels new. Appliances are excellent. The gas grill is outstanding- Weber gas. The beds feel new too but definitely on the firm side. The hosts/hostesses were gracious and allowed us a noon checkout because there wasn’t a guest arriving on our checkout day. Cons: The property is not inside the Rumbling Bald resort. The front gate is less than a minute away by drive. The rental does have passes for inside the resort. Before booking, I explicitly asked the hosts/hostesses of the rental if it was inside the resort. I was told it was. Unfortunately, it is not. This might not matter to many guests because this rental is so close to the front gate. However, we have family with rentals inside the resort and we have access to their golf carts within the resort. Therefore, we could not use those golf carts with a home outside the resort. It would have been nice to know prior to booking. Also, the listing says it has a wood burning fireplace. After booking, I was informed that this rental only allows Duraflame logs for the fireplace

Clean & Organized Lake Lure Retreat

The property was ready upon arrival. We comfortably slept 8 guests. The bathrooms are updated and sanitized. We would definitely return to this Retreat. The only amenities we would like to see are TV/Cable in each bedrm and also attempt to curb the slight "musty odor" in the 2 bottom floor bedrooms. We definitely give it 4.5 out of 5.0 stars!! Thank you for a lovely, peaceful stay!!

Great place

This is a clean welcoming place for your family. The company that runs it offers the little "extras" that help for example..dish detergent, cofee packs, a few bottles of water and other things to get you started. You do have to drive to the resort but it's just a couple of minutes. This is a townhouse and there will be people right next to you but we never noticed anything from inside the house, you just have to share the parking area. It wasnt a problem for us at all. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay again. Here's a couple of helpful hints for future guest.. -There is only one TV in the house. Not a problem really but it would have been nice for another in a bedroom for the teenagers. -Lots of stairs, if thats a problem for you. -The A/C barely reaches the top bedrooms so bring a fan. -the bottom bedrooms are freezing so plan accordingly.

Great Lake vacation

Wonderful house. It served our family of 6 well. Clean and resort amenities were great! The only negative is given the road it didn’t seem safe to walk to the resort but it is a very short trip in the car so was not really a big deal.

Nice place, but lots of stairs

The house was nice & clean. Great TV and nice book of things to do. Not for the handicapped, though. Stairs going up to main level, stairs going up to bedroom, and stairs going down to main bedrooms. Not a "welcoming" experience. We were hit with a list of Do Nots, and fines if this or that occurs. They must have had prior bad experiences with guests (?)
