The place was in the perfect location and great space for two families with kids. The view is beautiful and the layout works really well- plenty of space to play, watch tv and cook. We enjoyed the hot tub and the amenities such as walking trails, basketball and the playground. This is our new annual spot to meet up with our friends!

It was a lovely house, peaceful and secluded with spectacular views of the mountain. Five people in our group, four adults and one teen. Plenty of space to spread out with a very well-stocked kitchen. Only disappointments were a dryer that struggled to dry a load, the large jetted tub in the master bath did not work, nor did half of the jets in the hot tub. Also disappointed that the resort closed the outdoor pool facilities for a private event with no notice, which really ruined our plans; had we known we would have rearranged our schedule.

Thank you for your review of Big Rock Candy Mountain. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you generally enjoyed your stay. We regret that the dryer and some of the jetted features were not functioning properly during your visit. We will look into resolving those issues. We also apologize for the short notice closure of the outdoor pool facilities. In the future, we will strive to provide better communication regarding any changes to our amenities. We hope you will consider staying with us again, and we will do our best to ensure a more seamless experience.
House was immaculate and spacious in a community with so many activities that we could not fit them all in! Would love to return for a longer visit and bring more friends.

We go to Rumbling Bald at least once a year and this is one of the best if not the best house we’ve stayed in. It is so beautiful with a gorgeous view. It was clean, spacious, and laid out well. We specifically choose homes with hot tubs and this one has a great one! The downstairs has a bunk room with an arcade game and mini air hockey and there’s a downstairs family room with a pool table. The kitchen table had enough room for everyone and there were lots of baby supplies including baby gates available. We loved the aesthetic - it’s decorated beautifully ! Beds were comfortable. It was convenient having access to the garage which is where the trash can is kept- unavailable to wildlife! Also loved being able to use the golf cart- that was a really great bonus. We had a couple very minor issues and the host was very responsive. Would definitely stay there again!

Stay at big rock
I wasn’t able to check in at 4:00. Cleaning people were still cleaning. I should say the cleaning lady had her teenage son helping (not any help) clean. I don’t blame her. She should’ve had more help. I we didn’t get in there until 4:45. Unacceptable. I had my elderly mom who’s in a wheel chair with a recently broken humerus/arm. Not easy.
I was offered an extended 2 late check out, great we were leaving the night before, so that didn’t help.
So there you go. The house was great. It was management.

Big Rock Candy Mountain
When we originally rented this property based on the website and the pictures and the amenities, we felt like it would be phenomenal. However, the gas stove did not work properly, the master tub, which is supposed to be a jet spa did not work. We had outlets that did not work, the master bedroom does not allow for leaving the ceiling fan on and cutting the master lights off. The golf cart was used for one full trip down the mountain to the Starbucks and back and then down the mountain to the pool and then had to be towed back up to the house as it would not go. And it was on the charger before it was used. Then after everyone went to bed, we were awakened by alarms going off for a gas leak in the house in which we called the property managers and they told us to call the fire department come to find out the gas leak was caused by the batteries overheating in the golf cart, which was plugged back in as we had found it in the garage. The fire department told us they had been called to this same property three times for the same issue at this point, we believe that these major issues need to be addressed and have not been by the property management team.

Hello Randy,
Thank you for your review, and we apologize for any issues encountered with maintenance in the home during your stay. On our end we have no reports during your stay of a concern with the gas stove or master tub, but will share this with our field operations teams to investigate for future visitors. We apologize your stay was disrupted by golf cart batteries overheating - obviously this has never happened before, and is a one-off situation that was unpredictable and difficult to avoid. The golf cart has since been repaired with new batteries in place, and we apologize it impacted your stay as it did. We hope you otherwise had a great stay at Big Rock Candy Mountain, and thank you again for your review.

Beautiful home, needs a different Property Management Company
The house is very beautiful. It was extremely clean. However, there were no paper products in the house which I wish we would have known, and we could have brought some with us. We weren't there 24 hours when the microwave died. They did bring another one over but it took almost 2 days. The blinds in the kitchen didn't work, so we were not able to raise them up to enjoy the view that was advertised in the listing. There were no kitchen towels; however, there were a good number of bath towels and towels for the hot tub. Upon arrival, we realized the light didn't work in the living room. They never did come fix that. When we ask for an additional night on our stay, they were going to charge us twice as much as we had paid originally. The towel rack fell off the wall in the master bath. My husband was able to put it back up temporarily. The house itself was lovely. All of our beefs are with the property management company called Carolina Mornings. They did not respond to questions, they did not respond to complaints, and when I called to visit with them regarding the things I've listed here, they've offered no explanation or even an apology.

Hello Trish,
Thank you for your review, and we apologize for any issues encountered during your recent stay. On our end, all homes should come with a starter pack of household supplies including toilet paper and paper towels. We apologize if this was not proper for your arrival, over your four-day stay we had no feedback on this being a concern. For the microwave issue, we did receive a call on this in the afternoon of the second day, and sent a maintenance technician out within 24 hours to investigate and remedy. We apologize this and the other maintenance concerns were encountered during your stay. When you went to extend the trip and found the costs higher, this was due to the winter holiday season and the demand present, and we're sorry we couldn't match your originally booked rates over this window. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope you otherwise had a positive experience during your visit!
