Getting Here

Lake Lure, North Carolina — tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains with easy access to local landmarks and natural beauty.

Address

Lake Lure, NC 28746, United States

Parking & Getting Around

Parking for at least 5 in our driveway. The driveway is mostly sloped due to the terrain although there are two flatter areas for those that need it. The neighborhood is walkable and lightly traveled from what we’ve observed. We are very close to the Flowering Bridge in Lake Lure.
