We want to be upfront about the status of Lake Lure. In October of 2024, Hurricane Helene left an unprecedented amount of debris, and while cleanup efforts are underway with the US Army Corps of Engineers, the lake has remained closed and will continue to be closed for the rest of 2025.
However, we're pleased to share that the town of Lake Lure has announced its official target date to fully reopen the lake for the 2026 summer season: May 1, 2026. While this timeline isn't guaranteed, we remain optimistic that this goal will be achieved through ongoing restoration efforts.
In the meantime, the magic of Lake Lure extends far beyond the water—breathtaking mountain views, charming local restaurants, award-winning vineyards, scenic hiking trails, championship golf courses at Rumbling Bald, and the world-class Tryon Equestrian Center just 25 minutes away are all ready to welcome you.
The Ginger Fox is a cozy log cabin tucked inside the Rumbling Bald Resort community in Lake Lure, where every stay includes complimentary access to top-tier resort amenities. Whether you're craving lakeside adventure, mountain air, or a peaceful place to recharge, this home blends rustic charm with comfort and convenience.
The cabin's warm, wood-accented interior offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, making it a welcoming choice for families or small groups. Spend crisp mornings sipping coffee clear evenings stargazing around the wood-burning fire pit. Inside, classic board games bring a nostalgic touch to slow moments in between adventures.
Guests enjoy full access to the Rumbling Bald resort grounds—just a short drive from the cabin. Start your day with a workout using the treadmill, elliptical, or weights in the on-site fitness center, then cool off in one of three resort pools or with a refreshing dip in Lake Lure. Explore scenic hiking trails, take your pick of tennis or pickleball, or enjoy a laid-back afternoon on the bocce court. When it's time to unwind, relax your muscles in the infrared sauna or stretch out at the community picnic area with a view. From waterskiing and tubing on Lake Lure to evenings by the fire, The Ginger Fox invites you to make the most of mountain lake life.
