ADVENTURE!

You may never get tired of hanging in the chalet and staring at the mountains, but adventure awaits! Here are some of our favorite spots:

Hiking and Nature: Take in the panoramic 75-mile view from the summit of Chimney Rock, explore several hiking trails, and the gorgeous Hickory Nut Falls waterfall, one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River, at the famous Chimney Rock State Park.

Also check out the Bearwallow Mountain Trail, part of the 13-mile Upper Hickory Nut Gorge Trail System, with its panoramic views of Mt. Mitchell, Mt. Pisgah, Hickory Nut Gorge, downtown Hendersonville, and the high country of South Carolina.

The Lake Lure Flowering Bridge is 155 feet of gorgeous flowers and plants crossing over to the Lake. Free and just 4 minutes from the chalet.

Shopping: Discover the adorable town of Chimney Rock Village with its locally-owned shops, delicious eateries, and activities for all ages, all against the backdrop of Chimney Rock and the Broad River.

Hot and tired from shopping? Stroll along the Rocky Broad River Walk just behind the shops and dip your toes in the cool waters of the river.

Drinks and Dining: Sip on a glass of local wine at Burntshirt Vineyards Tasting Room and Bistro, just 2 minutes down Main Street from the chalet. Take in 30-mile views at Point Lookout Vineyards, just 15 minutes from the Chalet on Point Lookout Mountain.

Hickory Nut Gorge Brewery at Chimney Rock Village is another favorite–grab a beer and sit out on one of the several decks overlooking the river and chill after an afternoon of shopping.

At Lake Lure just 13 minutes from the chalet, Highlands Kitchen & Bar has gorgeous lake and mountain views and delicious food and cocktails.

Lured Market & Grill makes amazing sandwiches! Gorgeous seating outdoors with views of the Lake.

For the kids, stop by Scoop Lake Lure for some ice cream after a day on the water!

Lake Time: Lake Lure is known for Dirty Dancing, The Last of the Mohicans, and other iconic films. Spend a day at the public Lake Lure Beach and Water Park with waterslides, beach, games, and more all surrounded by the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains. (Note there is an admission price so please call or visit the website to learn more)

Rent a boat or sign up for a waterskiing, tubing, wakeboarding, or guided fishing adventure with Lake Lure Adventure Company. You can also rent boats (motorized, fishing, and non-motorized like kayaks and stand up paddleboards) from Lake Lure Tours.

Pampering: Just next door to the Chalet, the beautiful historic Esmeralda Inn, Restaurant and Spa is the perfect way to pamper yourself with a spa treatment and dinner after a long day of play. Be sure to ask about the floorboards, which came from the Dirty Dancing movie set after a fire in the hotel!

Day Trip: Heading up to Asheville for the day? Our favorite spot is the Battery Park Book Exchange, a magical space of book-themed coffee drinks, champagne cocktails, and books books books.

Great stay, great location, great amenities, great communication and description!
The informational packet provided by the hosts was extremely helpful and very thorough, and even provided recommendations for places to visit. We only had one minor issue during our stay which we were able to communicate to the hosts to resolve. The kitchen in the cabin had anything we could possibly need and we were able to easily cook multiple meals after visiting the nearby Ingles. Overall it was a great stay and we would recommend this location to anyone looking for somewhere central to stay while visiting Chimney Rock!

Musty smell
Although the place is clean and has comfortable bed, the whole place has strong musty smell. Bathroom drain was clogged. I contacted the hosts about these issues on the first day.

Cozy Chalet
Traveling with my mom & my daugther! This bottom level chalet was very comfy & Cozy. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances & things needed (FYI it is a regular coffee maker not a Kuriq BUT filters & coffee were provided). The chalet was real cleaned. The location was Amazing. Just a quick drive into Downtown Chimney Rock & the Flowering Bridge. The owner was VERY responsive the messages and the one question we had while there. We would stay here at the chalet again!!

Great location
The chalet is located on a hillside at the west end of the "main drag" of the road that has the access to Chimney Rock. My wife and I did most of our hiking and shopping before we checked in at 6:30ish. The check-in was easy. The chalet was nice and clean. We showered and slept, then drove to Brevard via the Blue Ridge Parkway the next day. So we didn't spend much time in the chalet. But the location to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, the shops, and brewery/dining areas were just a stone's throw away.
