Simple Mountain Luxury at its Best

For those seeking the best in simple mountain luxury, Creekside Chalet is not one to disappoint. From the pristine Blue Ridge Mountain views to the spacious and beautifully decorated interior, this Western North Carolina cabin invites you to escape and find complete bliss on your vacation.

Tucked away in a gated mountain community in Rutherfordton, Creekside Chalet is perfect for getting some much needed rest and relaxation with plenty of room for everyone.


Start the day off with a stroll over to the scenic community park complete with a gazebo and picnic area while the kids have fun on the playground. A small creek borders the edge of the property and offers tranquil sounds of water trickling over the creek stones. This makes for ideal background music while enjoying your family outing or a romantic picnic.


When you and your guests are ready to take the fun inside, there's plenty of entertainment to be had. Choose from a challenging game of foosball or pool in the fun game room or curl up in front of the living area's stone fireplace with a good movie. Before turning in, you'll want to experience the peaceful evenings out on the large covered deck with ample seating for everyone. Be sure to have your morning coffee out here too where the majestic views await!

On days for getting out and about, take a quick 30-minute trip and explore the natural beauty of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park.

Dragon boat race & festival

I stumbled upon this really amazing kids' fundraiser being held at Lake Lure, Lure of the Dragons.

The event is being held at Lake Lure, the site of Dirty Dancing and a really beautiful and fun place to visit. (About 45 minutes from Asheville.)

Teams (anyone can sign up!) will race small dragon boats just beginning to be exported from China - in fact, this is the first exclusive small boat race in the United States!

The race is held in concert with the Asian-American and Southern Culture Festival, which will offer all day food, crafts, music, dance, demonstrations, games, inflatable play park and a playground for the kids, and a picnic area.

And, the best part of the event is that all of the proceeds go to WNC non-profits or services that work to improve quality of life for children and teenagers.

For those who might be interested in traveling to the area and putting Lake Lure (and this event) on your itinerary, you may also want to check out the Asheville Mountain Discovery Pass, with a free ticket to Lake Lure Tours, and Chimney Rock Park.

Chimney Rock is minutes away from Lake Lure - which makes it
an easy extra for a short weekend in
WNC. The Park is open all day, and
