Welcome to Bent Creek Retreat. Enjoy the Resort Life at this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, meticulously maintained townhome located in Rumbling Bald Resort in Lake Lure, North Carolina.

HOT TUB NOTE: This listing indicates a hot tub. NOTE the Hot Tub is a COMMUNITY AMENITY and is not located at the home.

Nestled in the trees, this townhome has one of the best locations of the bunch! It has better parking than most, with two very level spaces for easy unpacking of luggage and groceries. Once down about 10 steps to get inside, the rest of your stay is single level living. From the moment you enter, this feels like home away from home.

The living room has plenty of comfortable seating for the entire group, including a sleeper sofa, oversized lounge chair, and two other large side chairs. It's perfectly equipped to gather around the stone fireplace available during the fall and winter months, or watch the wall mounted flat screen television. Other features include soothing light colors, tasteful décor, Wi-Fi internet, wood floors, ceiling fan, and plenty of pillows for comfort. Sliding glass doors lead to a full-length deck complete with plenty of patio furniture, gas barbeque, and seasonal golf course views.

The open inviting floor plan connects all the living areas together. Steps away from the living room is a formal dining table that seats four, and casual dining at the breakfast bar that also seats four. There's enough seating for everyone. It's the perfect place to gather for meals, games, or just planning the next day's adventures.

The kitchen has plenty of granite counter space for meal preparation, and has everything you need: breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, refrigerator freezer, dishwasher, microwave, drip coffee maker, electric stove and oven, double sink, a variety of cookware, and plenty of dishes. We provide a starter kit of a few essentials, but definitely bring whatever you think might be needed. Off the kitchen is a washer and dryer.

The luxurious Master Suite has a king size bed, two nightstands with reading lamps, dresser with large mirror, his and hers closets, bench for easy dressing, ceiling fan, and a television. The private Master Bathroom has tile floors, dual vanities, oversized mirror, plenty of counter space, and tub and shower. We provide freshly pressed sheets, thick luxurious towels, and starter bathroom amenities.

The large Guest Room has two beds, for sleeping flexibility. This is a unique feature most townhomes don't have. One bed is a queen and the other is a full. This room is also nicely appointed with quality bedding, dresser, nightstand with reading lamp, closet, and television. Just down the hall is a Guest bathroom with tub and shower.
