Property Information
Tucked away, in the center of it all, The Shaded Crest is a six-cabin retreat atop a hill on seven heavily wooded acres in Western North Carolina. It sits above Lake Lure and is 4 miles from Chimney Rock State Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a hike, a day on the lake or The Rocky Broad River, or a wandering drive to explore the many small towns or cities close to Lake Lure. We encourage our guests to spend the day taking in the natural allure of the surrounding areas and come back to take refuge lounging by the pool, grilling out, or cozying up in their cabin. The Shaded Crest is designed to accommodate every traveler's style; it is secluded yet accessible with communal spaces to meet fellow travelers while having a private space to retreat to.
