Other things to note: We are fortunate to be in an area where many species of wildlife make their home. We hope you will get to see plenty of deer, birds, and bunnies during your stay. You also have the chance to see other wildlife that, while cute or exciting, could harm you. Some of those animals are bears and various species of poisonous snakes. It is best to watch your step when walking and be aware of your surroundings, especially at night when our night vision isn’t so great. It is also wise not to leave food unattended or outside overnight because many of these animals consider them tasty treats. While fun and cute to watch, it is dangerous for us and them. Be Our Guest In addition to some of the most breathtaking views you will ever see, western North Carolina offers several entertainment and activity options. See the Amenities and Local Area Guide for just a sampling of what the area offers. Pack your clothes, pick up some groceries (stores nearby), then sit back and relax. We look forward to you being our guest. AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2024, through the first quarter of 2024(March 31st).
