Hurricane Helene: Thankfully, this home and surrounding resort area were mostly spared by the hurricane but the main lake has closed for recreational boating, swimming, and fishing use since Sept 2024 but will reopen by May 1, 2026! Very thankful for Army Corp of Engineers efforts removing vast debris and sediment deposited during flooding. The beach at Rumbling Bald has opened on one side with playground, pavilion, grassy field, and sandy beach, as well as cabana that sells ice cream. The other side, the cabana, and the marina will reopen in May, 2026. There was utter devastation on Sept 27, 2024 with flooding in downtown Lake Lure & Chimney Rock resulting in bridges and roads washing out. The people of this area depend on and are desperate for tourism to return to this beautiful mountain town so please book and help support our recovery. There are small lakes in the resort available for fishing. Reach out to property manager for info and updates. Be careful, most Rumbling Bald properties require additional $6 per person/day for limited # of guest passes but they are INCLUDED with this home.
