If you're a pilot you can check out our pilot information page which will tell you everything you need to know. If you'd like to fly in commercially, Asheville Regional is the closest commercial airport. You can arrange to have a rental car awaiting you when you arrive. It's about a 45 minute drive from the Asheville airport to the cabin. However, scheduled airline service to Asheville is not as frequent as Charlotte International, which is about one and a half hours away from the cabin. Check your favorite air carrier for schedules and prices. We need directions to the cabin! These are included in the Welcome Packet which is sent to you immediately after we receive your deposit. What is there to do in Lake Lure? Goodness, the sky's the limit. Just about anything and everything you can imagine is just a short drive away. Check out Things to Do page for more information, but the short list includes: golf, hiking, water-skiing, boating, swimming, white-water rafting, horseback riding, mountain climbing, and of course we have the world famous Chimney Rock! The list goes on, but you get the idea. Any place good to eat nearby? Ah, so you're a culinary afficianado, just like we are! There are a number of excellent restaurants in Lake Lure. Our favorite is Larkin's On the Lake, which surely won't disappoint. Besides that, there's everything from sub sandwiches to pizza to BBQ. You'll feast like kings! A comprehensive list of restaurants can be found at the cabin. We want to play golf! Then you picked the right spot. The Municipal Golf Course is located less than 10 minutes to the west on Highway 64/74. Apple Valley Golf Course, located in Fairfield Mountains, is rated among North Carolina's top 50 golf courses and features scenic views and challenging greens. Bald Mountain Golf Course has been hailed by Golf Digest as "One of the most beautiful mountain courses around." Information on nearby golf courses can be found at the cabin. We want to fish! Lake Lure has over 27 miles of shorelines and 1500 acres of water surface area. Anglers can catch a variety of fish ranging from Lake Trout to Largemouth Bass! Is the pond on the property stocked with fish? Yes it is! As of August, 2007, one guest reported catching a 2 lb. bass. Catch 'n release, please! We want to visit Chimney Rock Park! It's just a few minutes away. Hidden Hills is clearly visible from Chimney Rock (and vice-versa.) Besides the fantastic view, there are also nice hiking trails up there. Getting to the top is a 26-story elevator ride. We don't want to do anything! We're coming here to relax! We can sure relate to that one. When we get a chance to stay at the cabin we tend to stay on the property most of the time. It's a great place to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. After you pick up some groceries the cabin has everything you need to slow down for a few days. We have a selection of books, board games, DVDs, video games, and of course wildlife and on-property hiking. We always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. You will too.
