About this place

Mountain Moments by Carolina Properties - Pet Friendly, Great Views, Private!

LAKE LURE WILL NOT BE OPEN FOR RECREATIONAL BOATING, FISHING, OR SWIMMING IN THE 2025 SEASON. Although the lake is closed and lowered while Hurricane Helene cleanup continues, there is much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. LAKE ADGER, LAKE LANIER, and MIRROR LAKE suffered no damage, so homes and those lakes are available. BALD MOUNTAIN LAKE in the resort is open and beautiful. We are welcoming guests in over 60 beautiful homes to use as a "home base" for visiting nearby towns, restaurants, shops, hiking areas, and seasonal special events in Lake Lure, Hendersonville, Asheville, Black Mountain, Saluda, and Tryon. Golf is open to the public at Rumbling Bald, and local area wineries, breweries, trails, and music are within an hour's drive. Many of the Chimney Rock shops are set up at the Tryon International Equestrian Center Pavilion. Chimney Rock Park is now open!

PET FRIENDLY ~ EXCEPTIONAL MOUNTAIN VIEWS ~ INTERNET ~ ROMANTIC ~ FIREPLACE ~ WOOD FLOORS

Breathtaking Splendor
A saying automatically brings this home to mind: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away." The splendor of this bountiful landscape is boundless and breathtaking!

Guests have called the views therapeutic. This is a retreat you will not want to leave. When you do, it is one you and your family (four-legged family members welcome) will long to return to again and again, no matter the season. This mountain home is 33 miles from Linville Caverns, 52 miles from Grandfather Mountain State Park and the Mile High Swinging Bridge, 19.3 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 20.6 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, and 27.7 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC).

A Therapeutic Recharge
Whether it is to get away for a long weekend (there is a 3-night minimum stay) or a relaxing vacation, step inside Mountain Moments, and you will feel your stress melt away. The wall of windows, stone fireplace, and hardwood walls and floors of the great room give an instant feeling of warmth and comfort. Just imagine enjoying a gorgeous sunset while relaxing in front of a blazing fire. Dine indoors or in the mountain air on a stone patio (gas grill) with a fire pit to keep you warm. This is also a perfect spot for your morning coffee or tea; have a seat on the stone wall.

With All the Comforts of Home
With three spacious bedrooms, a loft sleeping area, and two 2 full baths, there is ample room for seven (7) guests. The fully equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, refrigerator, range, microwave, coffee maker, and various small appliances. In the hall is a stacked washer/dryer. For entertainment, the home offers a TV with a DirecTV Classic Silver package and 200 channels; a VCR/DVD and selection of movies; a stereo with an iPod connection; and internet service (no streaming, gaming, or downloads).

Conveniently Located
Mountain Moments is located in Sugar Hill, North Carolina, 15 minutes south of Marion, 20 minutes from Old Fort, and 20 minutes to Lake Lure/Chimney Rock. This log home is convenient to Lake James, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Black Mountain. It is 45 minutes from Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
