Go here anyhow if only to admire the place. Also note the Spa at the Grove Park is one of the nicest in the country. Spa only recommended for a weekday as you can enter without being a guest at the Hotel. Spa pools and sauna's alone are something like $90 each now. You can get a mani or pedi and enter through, and I've been told it may be cheaper now with a treatment.

Lake Lure
"Lake Lure is a cathedral of mountain cliffs and our forefront is a rushing river and a serene lake. Here romance and charm converge with a storied history in a stunning setting. Relish in outdoor adventures, a hike in the woods, a thrilling mountain bike ride, a climb on a sheer rock face, a day on the water fishing, boating, or kayaking. A multitude of lodging, dining, and shopping options await you, all tied together with a big dose of genuine hospitality. Whether it’s climbing, paddling, water-skiing, or hiking, it’s little wonder that Lake Lure tops North Carolina destinations for multi-sport adventurers bathed in a setting of unrivaled scenic beauty at every turn." : visitncsmalltowns description
