We celebrated a birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The place was perfect for golfing, basketball, pickle ball and spa days. Loved sitting out on the deck.

Outstanding Property - Will definitely return
Thank you for an amazing New Year's family trip home base! We loved the home in ever way. The location on #12 green was awesome. Being from a warm climate, we stayed in and cooked a lot and we found that the kitchen utensils were of very good quality, unlike many rentals where they just buy chintzy kitchen tools. The pool table downstairs was a big hit as well. The day we come back to the area, we will definitely book here again.

WOW!
This house had a great view and everything you could possibly need for your stay. We had several different family members staying with us so it was nice that there was 3 different levels to the house with bedrooms and bathrooms. The downstairs with the pool table and balcony was the best place to be during our stay. I would recommend this place to anyone! I will note that the stairs to go downstairs and upstairs are steep and not very suitable for the elderly, so just keep that in mind! We are so thankful for Fran!

Great getaway on the 12th hole!
The location of this house was beautiful! It’s on the pool and beach side of Rumbling Bald Resort, which we loved. The outdoor patio was great with children because there was no way for the kids to get off from outside. Fran did a fantastic job of stocking the house with all the extras we could have needed, from Tupperware to pots and pans and even a crockpot and instapot! We would have liked a vacuum to clean up after the kids a little easier and the living room rug could be replaced but other than that, we had a great time!

This was our first visit to Lake Lure and western North Carolina. We really enjoyed staying at the Happy Shack. There was plenty of room for our family. There were plenty of nice plush towels which I appreciate and the beds were comfortable. The resort of Rumbling on Bald was a great place to stay due to the amenities such as the pool, beach, tennis courts, pickleball and golf.
