Hurricane Helene: Thankfully, this home and surrounding resort area were mostly spared by the hurricane and we are so grateful and very eager for visitors to return to enjoy the unique beauty of the Hickory Nut Gorge. Great news that the main lake opened again for recreational boating, swimming, and fishing in May, 2026 (after being closed over 18 months). The Army Corp of Engineers extensive efforts have removed over 5 million sq yards of vast debris and sediment deposited during flooding that occurred on Sept 27, 2024. As a result, the lake is cleaner than it has ever been! The beach at Rumbling Bald is open now with cabana, playground, pavilion, grassy field, and sandy beach for tanning and swimming. Chimney Rock State Park is open and many businesses. 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 also small lakes in the resort available for fishing. Reach out to property manager for info and updates.
