Itching

the house was fine, the yard not so much. Evidently a known chigger problem is at this site. It took us 48 hours to get somebody to come out and spray for them. The location managers were less than helpful. The finally sprayed the night before we left. Not helpful at all.

Peaceful Mountain House

Four of us stayed here because we were playing in 2 golf tournaments in Rumbling Bald. The scenery is beautiful. The home was very clean. The decks were so nice to sit out on in the evenings and early mornings. Everything worked fine and the fire pit was terrific to have each night. The kitchen was very well stocked. We certainly appreciated the Vacasa General Manager ensuring that we had extra bedding for the person who slept on the couch. Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience a week before our stay with the local person who was supposed to be the property manager - so we dealt with the Vacasa General Manager of the entire area of Western NC and SC. Sue R. was fantastic - she really understood our frustration and fixed all of the miscommunications and non-communications quickly. We are all very appreciative that she stepped in and helped us. The house was serene and worked well for the 4 of us. Only issue was lack of water pressure, but that's probably common in that area. Overall, a wonderful house - we would stay there again.

I loved the cabin

The cabin was very nice the only thing that happened was the upstairs tub did not drain correctly. It was no big deal we just used the shower down stairs. You would not know that was an issue unless you were told so no problem. We enjoyed our stay and will return when in the area. Thank you

Great mountain getaway with lots of activities!

We shared the house with another couple and our 10 month old. The house itself was well maintained, clean, and comfortable! Plus, the included amenities provided endless actives on-site. Be prepared for lots of twists and turns as you drive up the mountain, but honestly as someone who loves mountain driving that was one of my favorite parts.

House was nice and the area was beautiful.. Well equipped kitchen and well stocked for our stay. The only complaints that we have are first the pet fees are a little extreme and well hidden in the listing. The second concern was the lighting in the kitchen area. Because the house is back in the mountain there was very little natural light and the kitchen was very dark. Overall nice location and above all we enjoyed time with our family.

Mountain/ lake cabin

We had a great experience at the Carolina Cardinal House. It had the feeling of being secluded in the woods yet the lake and resort amenities were just a few minutes away. It was the best of both worlds for our family.

Great combo of mountains and lake time

House was as described in listing, clean. And well -cared for. No concerns - master bed is a bit uncomfortable but not a big deal and downstairs is musty but I think this is unavoidable. Well-stocked kitchen. It is on a beautiful street but is up in the mountains- about 5-7 minutes to get to the Rumbling Bald resort area. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood (not very many houses so mostly just beautiful woods) but it is very hilly. Amenities at Rumbling Bald were great and easy to access. It takes about 20 minutes to get to downtown Lake Lure. It was a fair amount of driving but all very beautiful.

Peaceful

Looking for a crash pad with some extras over the long weekend and found it. The place was setup well to just bring in food, etc and be ready to cook and get some downtime. Some issues with the cleaning quality, dog toy and bone under the couch, lots of dog hair under furniture and fans needed a really good cleaning. Otherwise good. Super peaceful near end of the road and likely wouldnt stay here again as the outdoor space just wasnt comfortable and that was disappointing but also I get it if you arent there so the furniture choices have to be sparse and metal.

Relaxing!

I must say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cardinal property! Traveling in 30 deg weather with children we greatly appreciated coming into a nice and toasty home. I will say, the driveway was a bit misleading. It was listed as being able to fit 8 cars and we had a Ford Explorer, Stinger and an Altima and we barely fit. Also, on the very last day, our guests got locked in the upstairs room.. the door was a bit tricky. Other than that we all enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider renting again! Thank you for having us!

Nice Place, one Major Problem

We enjoyed the unit very much overall BUT strongly recommend putting a handicap bar in the main floor bath room. My wife is 75 and slipped in the tub with nothing to hang on to. Her head struck the commode and left her with a large gash that required 9 staples and an MRI at the local hospital. An inexpensive handicap bar would have prevented that. Other than that it is a great place.
