i thought i was arriving at a five-star retreat, but i found an old condo with a slight musty odor, and getting service was a daunting task. how hard could it have been to get a welcome gift for the trouble? i almost gave a good review but just couldn’t, the lack of simple comforts was shocking.

Wildlife encounters and winding roads

The condo was spacious and clean, with a well-equipped kitchen that made meal prep easy. We enjoyed our mornings on the deck, sipping coffee while watching the surrounding nature. The bear visits were an unforgettable highlight!

However, the winding roads made for challenging drives to the nearest grocery store, which was quite far. The wildlife management for the trash left much to be desired, as bears were easily drawn to it.

The Family Suite with Balcony was super spacious and had comfy beds. The living area worked perfectly for our group, and the balcony view of the woods was a nice bonus. The layout made it easy to relax, though the stairs were a workout! We even spotted bears nearby, which was pretty exciting for the family.

we had a great time at fox run! the beach access and pools were fantastic, with plenty of lounge chairs to relax. the kids loved the mini golf course, and the cleanliness and spaciousness of our standard apartment made it feel like home. the balcony views were super enjoyable too!

a bit more attention to the wildlife safety would be nice.

Breathtaking daily bear visits!

Families seeking fun and nature

We checked in late, but the arrangements were surprisingly simple. The views from our unit were amazing. It felt like we were living in a postcard!

It wasn't exactly cheap, but it was still acceptable.

the staff were friendly and helpful the area was filled with adventures nearby like gem mining and great hiking trails.

no complaints 😊

For dads, it would be great to have more outdoor activities specifically for kids.

Spacious Family Suite with a beautiful balcony view of the surrounding woods. Enjoyed mini golf and hiking trails nearby. Garbage area needed better bear-proofing, as we found trash scattered outside. Maintenance response could be faster.

The mini golf was a blast! 🏌️ We had a spacious family suite with a nice balcony view. The only downside was the cleanliness. the carpets could use a deep clean.

Wildlife spotting and cozy vibes!

The condo was super spacious, with amazing views of Lake Lure. We bumped into bears a few times, which was a wild experience for the kids! The one bummer was that we had to climb tons of stairs, but the comfy beds made up for it. The restaurant on-site had decent grub too!

The unit was spacious and clean, perfectly equipped for our needs. We enjoyed the serene view of the surrounding woods, and the comfortable beds ensured a restful stay. The amenities available catered to diverse activities nearby.

Better maintenance of appliances and furnishings needed.
