Mom’s 65th Birthday

Incredible place offering beautiful lake views, terrific amenities, and plenty of room. We enjoyed using the peddle boat daily, the great kitchen with space for the whole family to help with preparation, and the multiple deck options for dining and morning coffee. We’ll definitely be planning a return visit!!

Gals Get together

It was the perfect place for our reunion. 5 HS friends met in Charlotte and stayed at Daydream House for 4 nights and we picked the right place! The house was just as described. Clean, fully equipped and right on a beautiful part of the lake. Beds were very comfortable with fresh linens and plenty of towels for the bath. We floated out on the swim dock all day and had dinner at Lake House restaurant. Hosts were very responsive. The best time!!

Sisters getaway

Stayed at this amazing lakefront home for a long weekend sisters getaway. It was beautiful, clean , cozy and full of charm. The online pictures do not do it justice. From the cabin to the location and amenities the home came with was wonderful. We swam in the lake, took peddle boat out for a little ride. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to make your own meals which we did after some sun and water time in the lake. We would recommend 100 percent. Also near the town of Chimney Rock with adorable shops and good eats. Next time we plan to stay longer !

Great with a few requests.

My requests are to put a king bed in the master bedroom so my wife and I can sleep together. There is plenty of room. Also, blinds on all the windows in the master. I had to move many things off the counters and cabinets to the laundry room to make room for our dry goods.

beautiful views, peaceful location. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom and I had the best nights sleep in ages and would love to know the make and model of the mattress. The access to the Rumbling Bald is a definite bonus. The kayaks, peddle boat and floating dock were very much appreciated.

Perfect lakefront home

This property is safely nestled in a safe resort, on a mountain, and directly on a beautiful lake. The first thing you notice when you enter the home is the amazing view of the lake from the living room, dining areas, kitchen, and master bedroom. The home is very comfortable and is well appointed with artistic whimsy inside and out. The water is only steps away and we enjoyed the dock, boats, and firepit. No reason to leave until your time is up. We loved it!

Nice getaway

The house was very clean and well stocked. Sue was extremely responsive to all of our needs. The children loved kayaking and swimming in the lake. The amenities at Rumbling Bald were a real plus especially the lazy river. Because we had unusually hot weather we were unable to have dinner on the porch so my only suggestion is to have a few extra chairs for the indoor dining table. We were six people and two had to eat at the counter. It would have been nice for all of us to sit at the table.

Spring Break/Easter

This property exceeded our expectations by far! The pics were great but driving up and seeing the gorgeous lake right there just confirmed that we were in for a great trip. The owners have lovely taste and had everything that you would possibly want or need. We have a 3, 12 and 13 yr old and everyone (including adults) were entertained all 5 days. We will be back to this house for sure!
