A Little Trivia: “Dirty Dancing” was filmed in Lake Lure! If you plan your visit in mid-September, you can take advantage of a Dirty Dancing highlight – the annual Dirty Dancing Festival in Lake Lure. Founded in 2010, a year after Patrick Swayze’s premature death and 23 years after the film debut, the Dirty Dancing Festival is a celebration of the inspiration, courage and love that Johnny and Baby instilled in legions of fans worldwide. Featuring live movie-inspired music and dancing, watermelon races, shag competitions, dance lessons, Kellerman’s Talent Show, a lakeside screening of the film and, of course, opportunities to attempt the famous lake lift, everyone comes to the Dirty Dancing Festival to “have the time of their life."
A Little More Trivia: Chimney Rock State Park is proud to have been one of the filming locations for the famous movie "Last of the Mohicans.” The iconic backdrop was shown in the last 20 minutes of the movie! The waterfall scene, the fight scene and bathing scene were all filmed at Chimney Rock State Park! If you are in the area be sure to stop in at Chimney Rock State Park, where you can stand at the base of the famous Hickory Nut Falls, the waterfall in the movie!
"Visit North Carolina" named Chimney Rock one of the best places for mountain hiking in all of North Carolina. Once you reach the peak of your Chimney Rock hike, you will enjoy wonderful 360-degree views - and - if you look carefully, you might even be able to see our cabin!
When you head back to our cabin to relax on our upper and lower decks and enjoy the spectacular mountain views, you will even see Chimney Rock. And you will love the luxurious amenities featured throughout our spacious log cabin home.

While your security is important to us, absolutely no surveillance devices are ever used inside the property. Nor are any surveillance devices ever used outside the property during your stay with us. To the contrary, all outdoor surveillance devices are deactivated during your stay. For security purposes only and only when no guests are at our cabin (especially due to the secluded location of our cabin), surveillance devices such as SMART doorbells and cameras are used outside the cabin and face away from the cabin. There are SMART doorbells on both the front and back doors (facing outside of the cabin) - again, these devices are not active during your stay with us (note that the devices light up when they are active). There are also SMART overhead cameras outside each entrance (facing outside of the cabin) - again, these devices are not active during your stay with us (note that the devices light up when they are active). Even if any security devices were active during your stay - which they are not - no camera is located in any area where guests have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Please note that all hosts are required by Vrbo/HomeAway to disclose their security systems on property descriptions.
The above description is just a brief summary of our beautiful cedar log cabin home. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us 24/7.
We look forward to hosting your awesome getaway at The Overlook at Lake Lure!
