Cozy Round Mountain-Lake Cottage

Such a sweet getaway. Love Lake Lure. Larkins near to eat. Asheville so close too. Ideal spot. Great views and pictures. Quiet and yet close to surrounding fun.

Great time for all. Much more intimate than a hotel room.

The round house is nestled in the woods up the mountain from the resort. It is a short and steep (but manageable) drive. The house is small but cozy. We fit 6 comfortably. The deck overlooks the trees and was very peaceful to sit and listen to the birds and animals at night. Everything in the kitchen worked well-the oven gets very hot quickly! The amenities at the resort were great. Our kids loved the beach and pool. My son fished but didn't catch anything. For the lazy river you need tubes which you can purchase there. We found a couple in the house after we went and we left a couple for the next renters. The restaurant at the resort is good and kid friendly and has a beautiful view. The only negative was that the electricity went out one night. We found out it was due to a tree hitting the power lines down the mountain. We were unable to find flashlights but there were several candles. The security guard at the resort was very helpful and came to check out the situation for us. The owner was very accommodating. It was a memorable adventure with our family in the woods!

The home was very cute. It had everything we needed plus a lot of nice extras! We loved the games, floats, movies, etc. We loved the resort!! My only suggestion would be to invest in central heat and air. We were there during a very hot week and the two smaller rooms were too hot at night. Also, a fire pit for smores would be nice, but I can see that it could be a little risky in the wooded area!

Overall, my friends and I's stay was wonderful! The cabin is very cozy, clean, and well maintained. There were only a couple issues we had, but easily fixable. The first is that the outside is not lit at all. At night it is pitch black and very hard to see. It would be nice if there was an outdoor motion sensor light or something of that sort as a source of light. Also, apart from the master bedroom and the living room there are no other air conditioning units in the other 2 rooms. We rented the property in mid June and it was regularly in the 90s. The 2 rooms without air conditioning were uncomfortably hot and very difficult to sleep throughout the night. The fan in the bedroom with the queen bed was very loud and clunky and was not practical to keep on throughout the night. Otherwise, we LOVED our stay! The property is beautiful and very peaceful/quiet. I also found Brandon very easy to communicate with and he was responsive before and during my stay. Would definitely rent again!

Our stay was very peaceful. The home had everything we needed to spend a week. Kitchen was stocked with all the cooking utensils. Furnishings were comfortable. Convenient to all the amenities Rumbling Bald Resort has to offer and a lot of other outdoor adventure. Brandon, the owner, was very responsive to questions I had before and during stay. Nice folks to deal with. Now I can say I stayed in a round house stuck to the side of a mountain. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
