BLISS BY THE LAKE

Lake Lure continues to recover from Hurricane Helene! We’re pleased to share that Bliss by the Lake (and Rumbling Bald) are once again welcoming guests. Thanks to dedicated contractor and volunteer efforts, access roads and essential services like power, water, and WiFi, are restored. Although the Chimney Rock area, Lake Lure beaches and waterfront are currently closed, there is so much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. Come enjoy Bliss as a peaceful retreat and “home base” for visiting nearby towns and attractions. Area restaurants, including Lake Lure and Asheville are reopening. There's golf at Rumbling Bald, and area wineries, breweries, music, trails, waterfalls, and so much natural beauty within an hour's drive of Lake Lure. Tryon Equestrian Center is hosting some of the Chimney Rock businesses that suffered from the storm. Saluda, Hendersonville, Forest City, Ashville, and larger cities like Greenville, SC and Charlotte, NC are great day-trip destinations. By choosing to visit, you’re supporting the local businesses of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and Western NC. We look forward to welcoming you!

  Joe C from Kernersville, NC recommends this vacation rental

  We were very unlucky with our timing, but very satisfied with this home. This Hurricane plus the storm passing through a day earlier devastated much of Western NC. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this storm. We were safe and had no problems with the home. It was very well stocked and had everything we needed to ride out the storm and power outage. The owners were very helpful, even communicating with our relatives while we had no cell or internet service. Located at the North end of the Lake Lure area with beautiful views of the water and mountains.

  Catherine L from Concord, NC recommends this vacation rental

  This property is beautiful, clean, and very well-maintained. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed. The deck was great, and my sister and I spent most of our time there. The property manager, Kathleen, quickly responded to our concern about a rotting board on the dock. It was fixed right away. The only negative was the steps down to the lake. They were made of stone, very uneven, and not kid—or senior-friendly. Unfortunately, I am sad to say that we probably won't be back for that fact alone. However, my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter loved the dock. Highly recommend this property for younger adults.

  We spent a week in this home for a family reunion trip, and we were shocked by the space in the best way possible. You can really tell the owners of this property want you to have a wonderful time during your stay. It is a luxury experience that is more comfortable and homey than you can believe. The home’s layout really maximizes the space and makes great sense. Not only is it a beautiful house in a great location, but there are so many amenities included in the stay, beyond what you can probably even imagine. The Rumbling Bald passes were such a nice touch. There were so many pots, pans, and even ingredients available for use in the kitchen. We were continuously impressed by the things at our disposal. The closet in the basement has so many fun things to do. This house truly has it all! Our family certainly made use of the dock, paddle boat, rafts and canoe while fishing! We so appreciated being able to spend the week in this space.

  Amar D from Alpharetta, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

  We had such a great time at the house, it's a beautiful home and extremely well maintained. We especially enjoyed sitting in the screened patio and watching the lake. Given the weather we couldn't use the firepit, but did use the indoor fire place; one suggestion is to bring your wood that may be drier (from the store), the wet wood will give off a lot of smoke.
  
  Bathrooms were very clean, basement looked brand new, Kitchen was very well stocked as well.
  
  We will definitely be back!

  Adam E from Raleigh, North Carolina recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed at Bliss by the Lake in August for a week-long family vacation and had a wonderful experience. The home was well-appointed with everything we could need for our young children (think pack n play, life vests, toys, games) all the way through adults.
  
  The home was very clean and well stocked. We cooked most meals and never had an issue finding a cooking tool or utensil. Additionally, the beds were extremely comfortable, and linens were high-quality. After long-days enjoying the lake, having a great place to sleep is much-appreciated.
  
  
  The screened in porch was used from early morning, through afternoon storms, and well-into the evening as the temperatures cooled. Access to the amenities in Rumbling Bald were a favorite and the location allowed for easy trips up and down to the resort. We loved having a dock on bald mountain lake right out back as well as access to the full beach on Lake Lure at the resort.
  
  We loved our stay and will look to return in the future.

  John B from Halifax, MA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great time at "Bliss by the Lake!" The house was incredibly clean and honestly looks like it was just renovated. The beds were all comfortable (except the pull out sofa, don't recommend) and the screened in porch was perfect for relaxing and looking for roaming bears. There was plenty of kitchen stuff and we cooked/grilled a lot. We had a couple issues early on, but they were resolved immediately by the awesome property manager, Kathleen! The internet was super fast if you wired in (we had multiple people working/taking calls during the week) and otherwise average if you were using wifi. There is basically zero cell service at the house and nearby. As a heads up, there were towels but otherwise no bathroom essentials (e.g., shampoo, conditioner, body soap). The location is great for its privacy, but the mountain roads are quite windy and very dark at night. We highly recommend both the Lake Adventure Boating Company & Canopy Ridge Ziplining (both fairly close to the house). Having the Rumbling Bald resort just down the road was really nice as well. We utilized their gym, kayaked on the lake, and tried out the lazy river. In our opinion, it was not really walkable (hills, lack of sidewalks), but it was a short drive (<5 min).

The only recommendation I would make is to bring dry firewood with you. There were many options for entertaining ourselves regardless of the age you are. Plus so many options of activities both at the property and in the close by area. We really want to go back!

  We had a great time staying on Lake Lure! The resort area is wonderful! Beautiful beach surrounded by mountains with plenty of activities. The house is nice and spacious. It could use some general updating though. Most of the kitchen appliances need updating. It is also a very small kitchen to work in. Very little counter space.Furniture is getting worn out. There was some broken furniture on the porch and the dock. I feel the property management company could pay closer attention to this property . I also feel the cleaning company could do a much better job overall inside and out!Other than that we had a very nice time!

  We really enjoyed our stay at Bliss By the Lake. We all enjoyed the canoes and kayak. The pictures of the house did not do it justice. It was better than what we expected. For new comers I would suggest taking the Lake Lure tour on the pontoon boat. The only negative we had was the driveway. We had a front wheel drive and had to back out of the driveway up the hill. Driving forward up the rock driveway would result in just spinning the tires.

  We had a fantastic family vacation in Bliss by the Lake August 2017. It was my husband and I, my 86-year old mother, my sister, my two sons (12 and 14), a friend (13), and my niece (16). The kids had fun every day paddling Doc Holiday out into the lake and playing 'king of the hill'. We also kayaked and canoed every day. It was peaceful, quiet, and yet there was lots to do. We went to Sliding Rock one day and Chimney Rock one day. Also visited the resort pool (small pool). The house was clean and as advertised. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

  We had a great stay at Bliss by the Lake. We enjoyed taking the canoes out on the lake, making a fire in the fire pit, and playing putt putt at the resort. The house was very roomy even if it did not look like it from the outside. We had only two complaints. There were a ton of lizards on the outside wall and several got into the house through the chimney. That caused some panic in the house, luckily we had brave people to get them out. Also, we were required to wash and dry the towels before leavings . Since we left early the next day, we had to stay up to do this, and could not shower the day we left. . Our suggestion would be to just start the towels in the washer and the cleaning people can put it in the dryer since we have to pay for a cleaning fee. Other than that we had a great family vacation and really enjoyed our stay.

We already talking about a return trip again next year. Thanks to buffalo junction properties and Tracy and Sue making checking in/out very easy. I would thourghly recemmend to any size family for a peaceful get away.

  Great resort. House is nothing special esp. for the cost. Small tv in the family room which did not always work. Kitchen pans are poor as was the lack of counter space. Can see very little of the water from the house and the steps leading to the water are very hard for younger kids to walk. Furniture must have come from a poor garage sale. The owners tried to provide some toys which we did appreciate. We rent at least five VRBO houses a year and this was our first bad review.

  Bliss by the lake was well suited for our 4 family group, three generation gathering. There was plenty of space and a myriad of toys to appeal to all.The house was comfortable and well stocked. If you like peace and quiet this place is for you. We would have liked a trail connection to the resort amenities as no one felt comfortable walking on the roads btwn the house and the resort. Also if you like to dine out, be prepared to drive. The resort pub was good, but we don't like eating at the same place.
  
  We enjoyed our trip and bliss, but next time we will stay closer to Asheville's offerings.

  Our family of 8 fit perfectly in this house. We had plenty of room to spread out and the kids took over the downstairs. Being able to wake up and sit on the deck to have our coffee while overlooking the lake was perfect. The house was very clean and well maintained. Being able to go to the pool every day was wonderful for the kids. I would recommended this house to any family that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle. We went to Ashville 2 times which was fun. About an hour drive but worth it. The kitchen could use more counter space but we all fit at the table to eat. Maybe an updated coffee maker would be nice. Overall a relaxing vacation at Bliss by the Lake.

  There were 9 of ou (friends and family) stayed in the cabin w/o it being feeling over crowed. We had also planned off site activities but the next time we rent this cabin we plan to spend all of our time at bliss by the lake there's so much to do and it's soooooo relaxing. We took advantage of the lake by canoeing some and the fire pit out back. We didn't touch the surface on all of the activities but plan too next year. I would recommend this to any group that wants to have loads of fun and down time. Also the rental management was so accommodating. Thanks for a great weekend!!!!

  We loved this vacation rental! It was a perfect location and so peaceful. We needed that after all the rain/flooding we had left behind in Charleston! We almost didn't make it out of town but thankfully we did because it would of been a shame to miss out on this house! It was so relaxing and the weather was wonderful. The screened in porch was the perfect spot to greet the morning sun, listening to the sounds of the brook that is on the property. The house met all our needs and was by far the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in! We can't wait to come back!

  Even with dreary weather our group of 4 adults and 5 tweens had a great mountain getaway. There was plenty of room to spread out, and canoes were used despite the rain. We brought our own games but Bliss also has several. Kitchen was not huge but was adequate (never found a toaster!) and the fireplace in the living room really added ambiance. The property is located up and down and around a windy road, so if arriving after dark have the manager's number in case you need directions (I did). Would definitely rent Bliss again.

  It was with much effort and anticipation that our whole family, from 5 different states, ( Gramma, Grampa, 5 adult children and 4 grandkids) got together at Bliss. We were not disappointed. the floor plan is so nice with lots of places to spread out. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, looking at the view of lake and mts. Whole family walked up the creek and found crawdads. Canoeing and fishing was great. Had a meal of fried bass. House was clean, furnished with everything. Kitchen has big pantry that we truly needed for all our food. We loved the resort... swam in pools, lake, boated, played putt-putt. Just a wonderful time definitely.

  We had an amazing family vacation at Bliss by the Lake. The house was very spacious and comfortable and the location right on the lake was perfect. Great communication from the property managers. No hesitation in recommending this house!

  We gather once a year in the mountains somewhere and this year we picked a great spot. The house was big eventh for 9 adults and 1 child. There is plenty to do and the weather was great.

  Martin a from Falls Church, VA recommends this vacation rental

  Our rental experience was excellent. It was cold and we were there only to sleep, so I cannot vouch for the fun to be had there in warmer weather. I am sure it is terrific. The house was comfortable. The art in it is spectacular. The owner should change out the mattress cover. The plastic one is really annoying at night.
