Beautiful Dancing Waters

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Situated on serene and beautiful Bald Mountain Lake within the Rumbling Bald Resort, this home is aptly named Dancing Waters Lodge. The pristine waters truly appear to dance as the sun sparkles on the surface. This home comfortably accommodated our large Christmas reunion with four families, including 5 children. Our guests LOVED the amenities of the home including large hot tub and dock on the lake fully equipped with paddle boards, kayaks, and safety jackets. The kitchen is large and well appointed allowing us to prepare and serve full course holiday meals. The Rumbling Bald resort is beautiful with great amenities including indoor pool. There are playgrounds in walking distance where our families enjoyed competitive games of "Home Run Derby." We enjoyed a trip to the Chimney Rock park which is now fully open for visitors. All our guests agreed, this was an awesome home and location for our Christmas 2025 Holiday!

Great lake house get away

The Dancing Waters home was a great getaway lake house. Property managers were easily contacted and accessible and location was very nice. We enjoyed being in the smaller lake for swimming, paddle boating and fishing but right down the street from Lake Lure and the other amenities. Very clean and comfy rental.

Best family vacation ever!

Everything about Dancing Waters at Lake Lure was perfect - from the location to the amenities. We had 7 people staying there very comfortably, ranging in age from 16 to 79. There is so much to do right there (fishing, kayaking, canoeing, admiring the view), that everyone was satisfied. My mother-in-law remarked this was the best place she's stayed on vacation, and she has been everywhere and stayed in some truly excellent places. I highly recommend this property!

Great location for family fun

Loved this place! Had kids aged 5-10, parents, and grandparents. being part of Rumbling Bald was very convenient, having access to the pools, beach, restaurant (great pizza, btw) made the visit even more enjoyable. Family loved the paddleboards and kayaks, as well as fishing off the dock. Apple picking, waterfall hikes, and creameries all within 45min-1 hr, so plenty of activities to do. Beds were comfortable, and kitchen was well stocked. Grocery is 20 min away but very nice and large. We would definitely come back!!!

We had a fantastic week at Dancing Waters Lodge. The home was spacious and well appointed. It was immaculately clean and was very well stocked for cooking and kitchen supplies. The lake was beautiful and very tranquil, quiet and peaceful. Weather was fantastic low 70’s low humidity, and generally a nice breeze. Our property managers were fantastic.

Beautiful home for a family reunion!

This 5 bedroom home seems like it has been recently renovated. Large kitchen, dining area and living area. 5 good sized bedrooms. Spacious deck overlooking Bald lake which is quieter than the nearby Lake Lure but you get passes to the Lake Lure amenities. The house has a fishing dock and the use of a couple of kayaks and a canoe. We used the house for a family reunion and we would rent it agin!

Peaceful lake vacaction

We loved this lakefront vacation home. We were a group of 10, including 4 kids. The kids had a blast on the paddle boards and kayaks. Since there were no motorized vehicles in the water it felt like the safest waterfront vacation we've had. The kids played for hours while we sat on the deck or kayaked around near them, but we weren't worried about their safety (like we would be at the ocean)! It was amazing. The house was roomy and beautiful and had everything we could need. We saw a huge turtle in the water, lots of bats (yay!), a beaver and so many fish. This was such a peaceful and lovely vacation spot!
