Plan Your Visit

Imagine a place, just a short drive away, where you can escape the hustle and bustle, the traffic, and the commotion. Where you can truly relax and unwind and take a deep breath and feel the fresh, mountain air. Where you are surrounded by history and breathtaking views. Where you can slow down and forget about the time.

The busyness of our daily lives often causes us to forget to stop and enjoy the simple moments that matter most. Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and The Blue Ridge Foothills invite you to come create your moments that matter with us.
