We’ve heard the fishing is pretty great at Lake Adger!
Get your family and friends cooking in the gourmet kitchen, or go out on the large patio and grill under the stars. Relax on the deck and enjoy the sounds of nature and take in the incredible views. This home is well equipped if traveling with little ones; there is a Pack N Play, basinet, safety gate at stairs, high chair, booster seat, and portable play yard.
In addition to all that Lake Adger offers, Lake Adger House is about 11 miles from the Lake Lure beach and Chimney Rock State Park and village. National Geographic Magazine ranked lake Lure as one of the top scenic lakes in the world. There are water sport rental options (kayaks, wakeboards, boats, etc.) and pontoon tours of the lake.
The iconic Chimney Rock, for which the village and State Park were named, was featured on Arthur Frommer`s Sept/Oct 2012 issue of Budget Travel magazine. The park received the platinum award for Favorite State Park in Blue Ridge Country’s 2013 Best of the Mountains travel poll, with voting every five years and covering seven southern states in the Appalachian Mountains. There are also several excellent golf courses nearby, including Apple Valley Golf Course, Bald Mountain Golf Course, and Etowah Valley Country Club and Golf Resort, which Golf Digest rated as one of the top 50 golf destinations in the US.
This home is located just 30 minutes from Bat Cave; 40 minutes from Hendersonville; 55 minutes from Asheville; and about 1.5 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina.

These forests feature hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, horse trails, exquisite waterfalls, and beautiful mountaintop views. If you and/or your children are fans of The Hunger Games book and movie, a scene with Katniss and Gale was shot at the Pisgah National Forest. A few small but significant scenes were also filmed at the DuPont State Recreational Forest.
