At Rumbling Bald Resort, we consider ourselves very lucky to be located in such a beautiful area which boasts gorgeous views, activities and most importantly great people. While our primary purpose at the Resort is to provide guests and members with facilities and amenities to serve their vacations and lives, we realize that many in our local community are unsure of the opportunities and amenities available to them. 

We wanted to clear the air and help you better understand those areas of the Resort that are open to the public. 

Restaurants
We have 4 dining experiences available on the Resort property, all of which are open to the public, throughout the year.  You can enjoy a casual lunch as you wind down from a long day on the golf course at Legend’s Pub or Pizzeria or savor an casual favorites at the Eagles Nest Cafe as the rolling hills of Apple Valley Golf Course stretch across the Blue Ridge Mountains behind you.

In addition to our three restaurants, our Lake Lure Dinner Cruise boasts a 3-course meal on the comfort of our luxury pontoon boat.

One of the highlights of life at Rumbling Bald, is our convenient location on the north shore of Lake Lure. We feature a variety of activities to help locals and visitors alike explore its waters, from pontoon boat rentals and lake tours to kayak and pedal boat rentals. Stop by the North Shore Beach Cabana, our lake headquarters, located just below Lakeview Restaurant and gather everything you need for your day on the lake.

The North Shore Cabana is open from 9 am – 8:30pm daily. When the Cabana is closed, visit the Wellness Center or by calling 828.694.3005.

What about events?
Many times we’re asked by those in the local community if the events we host are open to the public. Most of the time, our events cater to and are specifically for guests and members of the Resort, however there are a few, such as the Vintage Tin Car Show held every October, which are open to visitors. If you have a question about an event, feel free to call the front desk and ask!
