Writer's Block - Big View, Fire Pit, Great Getaway

LAKE LURE WILL NOT BE OPEN FOR RECREATIONAL BOATING, FISHING, OR SWIMMING IN THE 2025 SEASON. Although the lake is closed and lowered while Hurricane Helene cleanup continues, there is much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. LAKE ADGER, SHUMONT LAKE, LAKE LANIER, and MIRROR LAKE suffered no damage, so homes and those lakes are available. BALD MOUNTAIN LAKE in the resort is open and beautiful. We are welcoming guests in over 60 beautiful homes to use as a "home base" for visiting nearby towns, restaurants, shops, hiking areas, and seasonal special events in Lake Lure, Hendersonville, Asheville, Black Mountain, Saluda, and Tryon. Golf is open to the public at Rumbling Bald, and local area wineries, breweries, trails, and music are within an hour's drive. Many of the Chimney Rock shops are set up at the Tryon International Equestrian Center Pavilion. Chimney Rock Park is now open!

No Pets, No Exceptions

Escape to Writer's Block! Located within the private community of Piney Mountain with Outstanding Mountain Views and just a short drive to Saluda, Mill Spring, or Lake Lure, Writer’s Block is the perfect location for a romantic getaway or simply a place to seek solitude to refresh the soul.

Beautifully decorated in light soothing tones, this lovely cottage offers two bedrooms (one King and one Queen), a full bath with towel warmer, a separate outdoor bath /shower (for seasonal use), and an open plan kitchen and living area.

Luxuriously furnished to make your stay as comfortable as possible, Writer’s Block is an unforgettable place to relax and unwind.

Whether you spend the day browsing the quaint art towns of Saluda and Tryon or engage in some of the numerous outdoor activities that abound in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Writer’s Block is the perfect place to retreat to at the end of the day. Enjoy the long-range mountain views over a sundowner on the deck, fire up the grill, roast marshmallows around the fire pit, or feel nature surround you as you take an outdoor bath amongst the treetops. Please note: the outdoor tub is closed from November 15 - April 15.

Ideal for Every Season
This mountain cottage is perfect for every season! In spring and summer, the weather is wonderful, and the sunsets are inspiring. The myriad of colors in autumn brings visitors from near and far. With the leaves absent from the trees, the winter views are entirely new. Plus, this area and the surrounding communities offer something for everyone.

We look forward to providing the panorama for your new favorite memories with family, friends, or the one who makes your heart beat just a little faster. Writer's Block is ready to welcome you for an unforgettable experience. Please be our guest!

Very calm and peaceful setting in the mountains. Although it is a 2 bedroom house, recommend no more than 2 people for a stay.
