  This is our second stay at this property. It is a beautiful home with everything you could possibly need , from kayaks and paddle boards to skewers for roasting marshmallows. Just pack your clothes and toiletries and you are good to go. We love the Ingall’s grocery store just a 15 minute drive and the Rumbling Bald amenities.

  a guest from TRAVERSE CITY, Michigan recommends this vacation rental

  Daydream Inn was a perfect fit for our family of 6 - included ages 5 to 70. The beds were comfortable and the inside was clean and well appointed with an eclectic decor that we all enjoyed. We immersed ourselves in the waterfront daily - making good use of the kayaks, sups and floating raft. Everything was in good working order. We especially enjoyed having access to Rumbling Bald amenities including the pools, putt putt golf, the waterfront and the fitness center. We are already booking for next year. Management was wonderful to work with as well.

  Daydream Inn was the perfect spot for our family! We knew we wanted something lake-front with enough beds for everyone, and this spot ticked all the boxes and more. We knew it had everything we needed, but we were blown away when we arrived; it exceeded all expectations in person!
  
  Grandma was so happy to have a room separated from all the grandkids, and the young kids were thrilled to have rooms across from each other for max cousin fun!
  
  We lived on the water thanks to the floating dock, and put the paddle boards and kayaks to good use every day.
  
  The kitchen was more spacious than expected, and we were even able to host our 12 other relatives across the lake for dinner with ease.
  
  We can't wait to book Daydream Inn again next summer!

  This is a lovely home on a small, but beautiful lake, right next to Lake Lure. We swam off the dock, used the kayaks, rented a SUP to explore the lake, and just sat on the dock and enjoyed the birds. We played golf and hiked at Chimney Mountain as well. It was a relaxing vacation and this home made it all possible. And, Sue with Buffalo Junction was amazing to work with. We would definitely rent this home again.

  • Manager Responded on 8/12/2022

    Hi Kathleen - Sounds like everyone had a wonderful vacation at Daydream Inn. Bald Mt Lake is truly a gem - very relaxing and with no motorized watercrafts permitted, perfect for peaceful kayaking and lounging on the floating dock. I appreciate your kind words of our property management services - reach out when ready to return - I will gladly assist you personally. Sue Gage - Buffalo Junction Properties

  This was our first time in Rumbling Bald. The lake was so peaceful and private. The wildlife was abundant and it was an easy jaunt to activities. The house is well stocked with towels & everything for cooking the appliances were current and the grill was in perfect working condition. This made for an easier stay for us. The house gives everyone a little privacy. We really enjoyed the screened in porch!! Management was on top of everything here and addressed a small issue at during our first day. I look forward to booking again with Buffalo Junction and loved the location.

  April E from Greensboro, NC recommends this vacation rental

  The view is stunning and place is lovely and Sue communicated very well with us. Great area and we had a wonderful time.
  
  So, on the question "would you recommend this property to a friend" there is only a yes or no option... I would recommend but let them know we had a issue...
  
  The only issue was the oven just stopped working as I had 2 pots on and getting ready to put something in the oven for dinner. We are pretty easy going folks and certainly understand things like that happen. We checked the breaker box to make sure that wasn't it and all other appliances worked.
  
  We called Sue and she promptly responded that someone would be out after we left to look at it. So we were out of luck for dinner (and the following breakfast) we did what we could on the grill to get something eaten and we weren't able to do the breakfast. There aren't any close places to just 'grab' something quick so a bit more irritating than normal. We had made our list for dinner and breakfast, and went to grocery store 20 minutes away to have a nice family dinner & breakfast on the lovely porch. Most of which we were unable to use.
  Again, certainly understand those things happen but there was not any word back from the host or any acknowledgment that a key part of what we had planned for as our activity for the evening in the property didn't work.

  • Manager Responded on 5/17/2021

    Hi April, We appreciate hearing that you had a wonderful time and understand the disappointment of the oven suddenly not working and are truly sorry for any inconvenience incurred. All the appliances were in working order when the pre-arrival inspection was done. When the oven and cook top suddenly stopped, unknown at the time, even when resetting the breaker, was there was an electrical issue that could not be readily detected until we had an electrician assess immediately after your departure. All has since been addressed and such an incident should not happen again. In this area, it is not uncommon for power surges to occur and impact appliances/electrical circuits that don't always initially fail but do so unexpectedly. Our sincere apologies that this unforeseen event happened while you were staying at this home and on an evening when in this area, prior to high season, most local eateries were already closed and no delivery service is available.

  Due to COVID travel restrictions, but a strong desire to still be with family for Christmas, we decided to meet in the middle, and find a place to get away. We could not have been happier with our decision. Daydream Inn was a beautiful retreat, and a special place to celebrate Christmas. The home is warm and cozy, and lake view is wonderful. We enjoyed the surrounding hiking trails, and watching the geese fly up and down the lake. Would highly recommend as a quiet getaway spot.
  
  Property Management Co. was fantastic to deal with. Great communication, both before and during, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable stay.

  Joyce C from Orlando, FL recommends this vacation rental

  My daughter and I decided to travel for a few weeks since we both can work/school from anywhere. Daydream in was the perfect getaway. The booking process was simple and Sue was very helpful. The cottage was super clean and comfortable including the bathrooms. I’m super picky about that. Beds are very comfortable as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possible need or want. Most lakefront homes are quite a few steps away from the waterfront, but this one was just perfect with absolutely beautiful views from all windows. We really enjoyed taking the pedel boat out on the serene lake. There is a great 3.5 mile hiking path just 1 mile down the road that my daughter and I went to a few times. We also went to Chimney Rock a few times to shop, eat and hike. During our stay the smoke detector battery died sending off an alarm. Sue was quick to respond and sent someone out to address the issue. After it was fixed, she followed up again and checked in on us a few times to ensure we didn’t need anything else. We will be back for sure!

  • Manager Responded on 1/3/2021

    HI Joyce! Greatly appreciate hearing how much you and your daughter enjoyed your stay at Daydream Inn! This home is a recent addition to our management program and it is fast becoming a favorite with all that it offers including easy steps down to access Bald Mt Lake directly. It is ideally located to many of the hiking areas, restaurants and local artisan shops as well as the other nearby towns of Chimney Rock and Black Mountain have to offer.
