Mountain Cove cottage is in a perfect location for both quiet relaxation and wonderful sightseeing. The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina provide a beautiful playground for everything from visiting the largest private residence in the United States to hiking to taking a dip in beautiful Lure Lake. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite things to do in the area. It includes restaurants, parks, golf courses and anything else we think is fun!  We have been to all of the places listed, so we can personally recommend each of them. We hope you have a wonderful, fulfilling, and relaxing vacation at our Chimney Rock Vacation Home.
