North Carolina's Outdoor Destination

Our communities of Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and Bat Cave are in a time of renewal. With many of our businesses opening up after over a year since Hurricane Helene, we are proud of the strength, resilience, and determination rooted in our mountain communities.

Your visits, purchases, patriotism, and donations are more than acts of support—they are acts of partnership. Every meal you enjoy at a local restaurant; every night you stay in our lodges/hotels/vacation rentals; every gift you buy from a small business; and every dollar you contribute fuels the revival of our communities.

Together, we are rising from hardship with gratitude and determination. Your support helps us RISE, BUILD, and THRIVE—restoring not just buildings and businesses, but hope, connection, and the vibrant mountain spirit that makes our region so special.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in us, and helping our communities shine again.
