A short distance from cycling, hiking and biking trails, and more, this pet-friendly condo lets you experience it all. Lake Lure is an easy 10-minute walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 10-minute drive to Chimney Rock State Park.

After you return, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink by the outdoor tennis court. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi.

Feel free to prepare a home-cooked meal with the oven and refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
