Close to Amazing Waterfalls

We visited over Mother’s Day weekend to visit waterfalls. The location is great, there’s plenty to do in the area. The places had everything we needed and the instructions for arrival and departure are very easy to follow. I like how well everything was communicated through email and texts. Will likely visit again!

Great place & location!

We spent a family weekend here and it was a great experience! We enjoyed the fire pit both nights. I was in the downstairs room with my husband and 2 young kids. The distance and privacy of this room from the rest of the house made bedtime much less chaotic since we didn’t have to tiptoe around once they were down!

Nice condo, quiet

It was very quiet. The condo had a nice loving room and 2 decks to enjoy the outside. You could by an amenity pass and have lake and recreational access.

Great Visit to Whispering Woods Retreat

I loved my first visit to the Whispering Woods Retreat! It was extremely quiet and private for a townhome unit. I honestly felt like I was in a separate cabin. The unit was attractively furnished and had all the comforts of home. The unit was also in close proximity to the outdoor amenities which was a huge plus. I would definitely visit again.

Perfect for girls cabin getaway

This adorable lake house has everything you need for a fun girls weekend! Each room has its own bathroom and privacy. The lake house has access to lots of fun activities at the rumbling bald resort. We did some kayaking and hiking. We would love to come back in the summer to do some swimming at the beach! The house is located close to the adorable lake lure shops and chimney rock state park. We did a lot of leaf peeping and hiking. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect home!

Everything at the home was perfect! We had no wants or needs that were not met. We were there for a family funeral so on the worst of terms. We even asked the homeowner if we could have some family over for dinner together and they were happy to oblige and sent their condolences. It was so nice to feel the warmth of love in this home. We will definitely be back and on a happier terms! Already planning next year's family vacation here!

Nice, quiet and comfortable. We had a great time. Digital door lock didn’t work (must have needed new batteries). Decks were dirty and dishes needed to be updated-hardly any glasses. Just suggestions-we still enjoyed our stay

Never saw the host. Vacasa managed the property. The upstairs tv did not work at all. We had to clean up 6 dead palmetto bugs and kill a spider or two. The decks and furniture were so covered with leaves they were not usable.We tried to cancel the last day, and Vacasa refused.

Cozy Cabin in the Woods

This house was absolutely perfect for our recent vacation. It was clean, spacious, comfortable and decorated beautifully. The kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed for the meals we cooked. The location inside Rumbling Bald was quiet and private but with many great amenities close by. We enjoyed playing pickleball, sitting out on the beach, and taking a pontoon boat ride. We also took day trips to nearby Chimney Rock and Asheville. We will definitely be back!

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.

Cozy…

It’s a really great spot inside the gates of Rumbling Bald; however, the first night we got ate up by spiders, or something, in the beds, and the basement bedroom is creepy. There are noises coming from a code entry door by the bed, and, I guess, rust drip stains from a different door in the bathroom area. Not sure what’s behind it, didn’t want to know. It does seem like it doesn’t get cleaned under and around furniture in the house. But, it does have the necessary items in the kitchen, and after we washed the sheets and comforters, I don’t think we got many more bug bites. We did also have a black bear on the back porch come visit and knock on the door. But, overall, it provided a great place to enjoy Rumbling Bald.

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.

Lack of owner response/cleanliness

The property is in a great location but was not cleaned properly and there was a terrible bug problem. We literally had large bugs crawling on us in the bed. The front door would not lock but a maintenance guy did come correct that when he brought ant traps. We tried contacting the owner through the management company but have not received an answer about a partial refund. I never leave bad reviews because I think it’s better to work those issues out privately, but I’m already checked out so I feel like my concerns are going unanswered. .

Bring your Hangers!

The condo was really very nice. Mostly updated and great for a couple or a small family. The management company was awful! They took anywhere from 2 to 5 days to respond to emails. The unit had an ironing board, but no iron. There was not one clothes hanger in the condo! The management company replied on the departure day that because there were no hangers listed on the amenity list, there were none in the condo. I ended up buying some, but that was just crazy! We really liked the unit, but I will be careful checking to be sure that Vacasa has nothing to do with VRBO units I rent in the future. Don't know what would have happened if we had a real issue.

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
