Awesome hiking with great views! Our favorite: take the elevator up to Chimney Rock and then hike the upper trails.  It's worth it - less people opt to travel those and the views are great!

Open seasonally, a great place to enjoy the view and cool off in the hot months.  

A year round family favorite and the best part it is FREE!  We try to go early or late in the day during the peak spring and summer months, then a late night trip in winter for their lights. 

Hands-down our favorite winery!  Good drinks and the owners go out of their way to make sure you enjoy the experience.

Our favorite brewery--also has history as on old jail!  Great food, service, and beers.

A great way to support LOCAL!  In addition to hardware, check out their selection of Eggs, Honey + Fishing Poles!

So delicious! Cupcakes, cookies, fresh breads, coffee and tea.  Good choice for breakfast, brunch, or snack stop!

Wait for a seat on the patio and enjoy the views!  Our favorite: Deep Dish Pizza!

Cute market with local items, delicious food, live outdoor music...must stop if you're near Lake Lure!

Grocery filled with Local Eats!
