Great Lake Luke vacation spot

Perfect Family Retreat

We had a wonderful getaway with my family at this lake house. We had 6 adults and 5 kids, and there was enough space and activities to keep us all busy for the week. It really is the best of both worlds being on a quieter lake, while still being able to play on Lake Lure. Sherri was a wonderful host, and made sure you had everything you needed.

Family Vacation!

Our family of 6 enjoyed a relaxing week at Sheri's property! There were lots of things to see and do in and around Ashville and every evening we came back to the house for dinner and games. Since it was a little cool, we did not take advantage of the lake, but did enjoy evenings around the fire pit.

We had a wonderful time at this lake home. It had everything we needed (and beyond) for a wonderful vacation with our family. What made this house special were all the extras- fans, extra blankets/towels, great kitchen extras for any special meal, fishing gear, great location with privacy, and most of all - lots of different levels and sitting areas for fun as well as quiet time.

Wonderful vacation! This is a beautiful home in the most perfect setting. We enjoyed our coffee on the porch every morning, kayaked and paddle boarded., prepared wonderful food in the well equipped and beautiful kitchen. There was lots of room for everyone. Sheri, the owner, was very accommodating throughout the entire rental process, gave us a tour of the property upon arrival and was always available. We loved it!

Excellent Family Vacation

Sheri's house is a dream home to vacation in. The amenities in the house are top-notch and the outdoor equipment is the icing on the cake. My family loves kayaking and using the floating dock or just floating on the water. Sheri greets you at the door and personally walks you through the house which is such a refreshing change. This was our second vacation here and we'll probably come back again.

Multi-generation family vacation

We all liked the house, especially the screened in porch. Everyone had their own space and it was nice having the resort amenities. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. The kitchen was well stocked—even had a waffle iron, which we did use. The only negative might be the number of stairs to the lake for someone with mobility issues.

Serene Lakeside Sanctuary

Our family had a wonderful first experience with a lake vacation! Sheri’s house was perfect for our family. It was stocked with everything we needed and more.We all loved the lake and the “fun” toys provided. My three grandsons found a new love of kayaking and paddle boarding. The amenities at Rumbling Bald were an added bonus for all of us! If you are considering a lake vacation, this is the place you want to go!

Amazing Lake Lure trip

We loved everything the house had to offer- the view was beautiful and all the activities were perfect. We used the paddle board, kayaks, floating mat and we were happy to see there were life jackets in various sizes which our kids utilized. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything you need. The screen room was perfect for coffee and evening games as well as the balcony on the main level. We were able to use the nearby trail for biking (we brought our own bikes) and the trailhead was very close to the home. We had a great stay!

Great vacation!

Our family enjoyed a very relaxing time at the lake house. The only thing we had to bring was our food and clothes. Spent most of our days at the lake/dock. The kayaks and paddle board got a lot of use. We hung some extra hammocks so we each had one to use. Enjoyed playing a round of golf and going zip lining at The Gorge. I have already shared this link with my siblings and friends...definitely will try to make it back for another vacation!

Family Fun

Lake Lure was beautiful and so was the house! We couldn’t have asked for anything else. The Hilton’s were there when we arrived and walked us through their home. They were so kind and helpful. You don’t see that very often when renting a home for the week and that was one of the reasons why I chose this beautiful property! We had everything we needed and more. The space was just perfect for 12 people. The kids and adults loved kayaking everyday. The amenities in the resort was an added bonus. We will be back!

Reserve with Confidence for a Great Relaxing Holiday

My family of 4 had a fabulous time at The Retreat. Sheri greeted us at check-in and was very detailed with all instructions, she also provided a couple of bonus sweets which was appreciated. The house was well equipped for all of our needs and more. We love to cook as a family and were easily able to do so, while enjoying background music on the Sonos. You knew that It was important to Sheri for you to feel at home, be comfortable and have a great stay, which we did. We didnt take advantage of any of the facilities of the club but did take full advantage of the lake’s natural beauty and water toys that the belong to the house. We even got to observe a family of otters at a close distance on the Kyacks. You can have confidence in the booking information and we recommend staying here.

Perfect Blend of Relaxation and FUN

Our weeklong stay at Sheri’s cabin gets high praise from the adults and kids alike! The lake provided all of us with endless hours of entertainment as we could convenient come and go as we pleased. We were delighted at the items at our disposable that owners typically keep locked away including fishing rods, paddle board, kayaks, life jackets, etc. We just never got tired of being out there. Additionally, it must be said that the inside is STOCKED as well. We weren’t without a single kitchen utensil, laundry detergent, beach towel or board game our entire stay. Well situated for a drive to Chimney Rock, which our families enjoyed two separate days. Don’t pass up on the boulders at Rumbling Bald or Hickory Nut Falls. Both exceeded expectations. Thank you Sheri, for the obvious thought and care you’ve put into make your guests feel at home.

A perfect family getaway

We loved our week at Sheri’s property on quaint Bald Mountain Lake. There are few homes on this private lake, which makes it a perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. Sheri has thought about everything - the kitchen is very well stocked; there’s an extra refrigerator, freezer and ice machine on the lower level; the home boasts many nooks to read, sip a cocktail, watch a movie or simply enjoy the view. Kayaks, paddle boards, a floating mat, fishing equipment, books, movies - all available for you and your family. The geese and ducks greeted us every morning! Though we didn’t use any of the resort amenities because we were perfectly content to enjoy the lake from Sheri’s dock, there were always golfers on the course and a few people on the beach. Sheri was very proactive and fast in her communication. She gave us a tour herself and even offered the opportunity to check in very early in the day - unheard of for other rentals, in our experience. Fellow equestrians, Tryon is an easy 30 minutes away, making this a great horse showcation too! This was a fantastic rental and we hope to make it an annual trip.

Peaceful retreat in lovely contemporary home

We loved our stay at this property. Most of the properties in this area, if waterfront, are on steep lots which this one was. This makes for dramatic views and many levels of living space. Although this property is in the Lake Lure area, it is actually on Rumbling Bald Lake, a quiet, private lake just north of Lake Lure where motorized boats are not permitted. It is the PERFECT location - the amenities of Lake Lure (swimming pool, pontoon boat rental, tennis, restaurant, golf) are a just a short, easy drive. This house has a covered dock from which kayaks (provided) can be launched, or enjoy the huge water mat that can be floated out to the middle of the lake to catch the later afternoon sun. The kitchen is well-stocked - a starter supply of dishwasher soap, kitchen trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, soap and shampoo are provided - so remember to bring extra depending on the length of you stay. The owners were very gracious and responsive, and met us when we checked in so they could explain how to use various amenities, including gas-fueled fire pit, fireplace and grill. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Sheri and Orrin for your hospitality!

Great house, wonderful time

This house was perfect for our family group of nine, from toddlers to grandparents. We typically take vacations at the ocean so this was our first lake vacation and we loved it! The house is great - lots of room and very well equipped. The kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook, and even for someone like me who is not that crazy about it. On our many kayaking excursions on the lake, we became aware that this house has one of the best docks on the lake. Whether you want a peaceful and relaxing vacation - such as starting the day with yoga on the upper deck as the sun rises above the mountain to sitting on the dock with a good book (lots available in the downstairs library) and a cold beer or putting together one of the many puzzles available at the house, to ending the evening around the fire pit - or you want activities and fun - which can be found on the golf course, the swimming pool, the beach, kayaking and paddle boarding, this house and Rumbling Bald Resort is the place to be. Everyone had a favorite part of the house, be it the dock, media/game room, the loft, or one of the two great decks, but we all agreed the best place to hang out was on the screened in porch overlooking the lake. Sheri was wonderful to work with and she responded promptly to the few questions we had for her. We plan to come back, this ocean family has converted to a lake family after a great week at Rumbling Bald Resort.

Rumbling bald awesome

The property was great in the rumbling bald resort! Sherri was very receptive and answered all questions and was very organized and informative. She gave us great pointers and tips prior to arrival. We met her at hoise and she did a full walk thru and even helped us carry in bags and groceries! The house was great! Has a grill! Fire pit and fully stocked kitchen! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Paddle boards, kayaks right at the docks. The rumbling bald resort gives access to gym, pool, lazy river snd restaurants and Mini golf. We mainly hung out at the house! We met lake lure adventures at the dock snd took out pontoons from other places Great house Peaceful Great Lake next to lake lure Only downfall you can’t get motorized boats delivered to house but I would say this is also a blessing as it makes the lle more peaceful and quiet and calm! Perfect place for a family vacation or to unwind and relax, mornings and evenings on the lake are so peaceful! Temp if lake was just right! Would definitely return FYI the kitchen is fully stocked! She has two fridges and freezers ! All pots and pans! Sticks to make s’mores. Fire pit and grill are super easy with gas line connection to start A lot of steps but great location Great house Great host

About the host

Hosted by Sheri Hilton

Host profile image
I have deep roots in the Lake Lure area because of Camp Lurecrest that was founded by my uncle in 1949 through our family church in Charlotte, NC. My husband and I had the opportunity to purchase this home and knowing it is so close to Charlotte, we couldn't let it slip by.

Why they chose this property

Our friends have a beautiful home here in the resort and saw the house several years back, called me up and said "Sheri , this is your house!"The house has the most beautiful eggplant wall and then of course when I walked out on the deck and the saw the lake and became captivated, and that was it!

What makes this property unique

Just having the privilege of being directly on a private lake. The screened porch is breathtaking in the rain. I love being down on the dock ,either in the swing chair or on the hammock daydreaming as I gaze out at the lake. I forget everything and slip away into the moment.
