Great for family vacation
Absolutely the only problem we had was that the pontoon boat wasn’t working, and it took until Wednesday to get it running. Otherwise, it was an absolutely lovely, relaxing, and perfect location for a family of 11 ages 8-77.

Fantastic place!
This house was the best place our large family has ever stayed in. The recent interior renovation is great. The space was good for our group of 15 large adults and five children. There is so much for all to do with the lake, boat, resort amenities, restaurants, and Chimney Rock.

Heaven on the Lake
This house is the perfect place for a large family getaway. We had 13 including 6 kidddos ages 7-14 (cousins). The amenities of the Rumbling Bald club make this place even more spectacular! The house is HUGE with plenty of rooms for everyone. It’s cozy if you want to all hang together, but offers separate spaces if the kids want their own play area. We could not have asked for a nicer home for our annual family vacation. We will be back for sure!!

Incredible lakeside home
Our family stayed in this beautiful home to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It could not have been nicer. The house is located on Lure Lake and has grand views from inside, as well as from the large decks on every level. Two game rooms, two kitchens, and two laundry room were much appreciated by our large group. We loved the pontoon boat and golf carts, as well, and enjoyed the community pool, courts, and workout facilities. None of us tried the golf course, which was also nearby. Fishing, skiing, hiking, and games all added to our great week. Highly recommend!

Incredible home on Lake Lure
This home is simply amazing! The remodeled main and upper levels were stunning. We had 16 adults staying at the house for our wedding in Lake Lure. The new kitchen was designed perfectly to have several people cooking together and was stocked with everything we could possibly need. Having a 2nd kitchen and refrigerator was an added bonus too. Two laundry rooms too!
The great thing about the home is there were several indoor and outdoor spaces where we could all gather together, but also options to break off for some privacy to read or nap on the massive decks.
Our group loved fishing from the docks and everybody enjoyed cruising around the lake on the pontoon boat. In fact, the guys all traveled to our wedding at Lake Lure on the boat!
Cindy went above and beyond to take care of us. When a bad storm took out the power for the entire lake area, she went to multiple stores to buy lanterns, flashlights and candles - and even offered to bring us pizza! But even with the power out for 1 day, we could still cook on the gas stove in the downstairs kitchen or the 2 grills outside.
Without hesitation I highly recommend this gorgeous home for your stay on Lake Lure - you will not be disappointed!

Most amazing house on Lake Lure!!
We couldn’t have been more thrilled with this beautiful, huge, thoughtfully provisioned house in the best location on the lake!!!
There was nothing we could want for in terms of kitchen supplies, equipment, spices, baby provisions (high chairs, porta crib etc), even spices.
Our 3 generation family group ranged from 1 to 65 in age, and all agreed this was our best find ever. We loved being so conveniently located to the amenities of the country club, and the pool with zero entry area and lazy river was a hit with all. And the pontoon boat! Getting up in the early morning, taking a little jaunt just the 2 or us, or our whole crew of 8 …. It was lovely to have this boat available.
The house itself was so wonderful. So many times, when we’ve rented a house with lots of bedrooms and baths, “someone” gets stuck with the tiny little bedroom with a tinier bath. Not here!! My husband and I had first choice and honestly couldn’t decide which to take. All had stunning, peaceful views, direct access to the beautiful lakeside porch, and all the rooms were HUGE. All of them!!!! The youngest couple (25) in our family typically gets stuck with the least attractive option and there simply wasn’t one. All rooms were roomy and beautiful, baths all large, and very luxurious.
Around Lake Lure, we visited both Burnt shirt and Parker Binns Wineries, enjoyed live music at both, and saw Chimney Rock, all maybe 25 minutes away.
The owners are extremely attentive and couldn’t be nicer.
Wow. We are so grateful to have found Greystone.

Annual Family Vacation
Three generations. We traditionally go to the beach, but came to Lake Lore during Covid to be more secluded. We loved it! This house accommodated all of us very comfortably with room to spare. The pictures on the listing don’t do it justice. The updates are fantastic- we loved this house and it’s location inside the Rumbling Bald club complex. Thanks to the owner and property manager as they were very responsive when needed (which was only once). We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Fantastic Family Fun Facility for Everyone
This was a fantastic house with plenty of room and very clean. The Manager of the House was great to work with, she was quick to answer questions. She even stopped at the house when we first arrived to show us around and explained different features. The pontoon boat and dock area was great, everyone enjoyed swimming, fishing and relaxing there. Having access to Rumbling Bald Resort was an added plus although we did not use it much because the house was so great to use and had plenty of entertainment for us. Definitely a place we would use again!

Graystone rocks!
We visited and checked out the property 2x since it was our 50th anniversary and our family was coming from CA (11) and SLC (4). We saw the before and after of the renovations of the upper 2 floors. It very good before but is now amazing with the changes made. We all loved the upper kitchen (be ready for the latest in technology and convenience), the bathrooms (many) were appealing to the eye and functional, the 2 washers and dryers were very useful and the outside tables perfect for meals with amazing views.
The lakeside location is perfect! It it situated near the end of one of the lakes 'fingers"t and thus is much quieter from boat and ski traffic which we appreciated,. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing. We ate all our family meals on the middle deck which were christened the Greystone bistro. Our grandchildren LOVED using the guest passes to play putt putt golf, the older played basket ball, and the mothers took the youngest to the very shallow and safe Rumbling Bald beach. Everyone was delighted to take a pontoon boat ride around the lake (filling the tank was easy at the Lake lure marina). Several of us fished and caught bass, crappie and brim. The trout were rising in early morning and at dusk, but eluded us, Can you tell we had a great time. Our family is close and vacations together when we can. Al rated this as the best ever, which includes Yellowstone, Montana Lodge, New Hampshire lakes, etc. We've high standards but are low maintenance and this suited us PERFECTLY.

Wow! Simply wonderful!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Our very large party arrived at various times and I think every time a new set arrived they commented, "Wow! This house is HUGE!" It is absolutely perfect for a large group and lends itself well to hosting extended friends and family.
The view is unbeatable! Even the teens were coming out onto the decks in the mornings and evenings to enjoy the tranquility and beauty. The hot tub was clean and lovely and we gathered around the firepit more than once to roast marshmallows and wind down after our outings to all the nearby activities.
Some of the other reviews noted that the home decor was dated but it was certainly clean and tasteful. Some rejuvenation will only add to the charm.
Cindy was quick and responsive to any messages we sent.

Perfect Vacation Spot on the Lake
Liz and I stayed at the Greystone Manor for our wedding weekend at Rumbling Bald Resort. This house is amazing, and we highly recommend it! We hosted a few of our bridesmaids and Groomsmen, and virtually everyone had there own room. Everything you could think of is on site, from high chairs and pack and plays, to a hot tub, golf carts, grills, and endless tables and chairs with the best view on the lake. Having 2 separate kitchens and a commercial ice maker is also amazing. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive making Liz and I feel right at home on what can be a stressful weekend. We will 100% be back here for a vactation in the future.
