Cane Creek Valley Swim-Soak-Stay

Past guests and friends, Asheville is devastated since Hurricane Helene came through... the destruction is unfathomable. Besides the terrible flooding that swept away roads, bridges, and entire communities, trees across the region were uprooted from saturated soil by strong winds. This has caused power and internet outages, and many people in the region are without water or enough food.

Fortunately our whole house generator has been working, with a few more days until the propane runs out. The trees in our yard can wait... they aren't going anywhere! While the generator works we have water from our well. The pool is full of leaves and limbs, but otherwise okay. We'll be replacing the liner next spring anyway.

So we're fine for now... thank you all for your concern and best wishes. If you're able to donate to recovery organizations helping western NC, that would be greatly appreciated. Hope to see you again during better days!

Did you know that scenes from "Dirty Dancing" were filmed at nearby Lake Lure?? If you take one of the pontoon boat tours they'll show you the cove where Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey practiced their "lift" in the water. Cool!

On August 21, 1987, the blockbuster movie Dirty Dancing was released in theaters across the country.

Though set at a resort in the Catskills Mountains of Upstate New York, Dirty Dancing was shot entirely in Virginia and North Carolina. The filming came to the Southeast almost by accident. When the crew began production in September 1986, they found all the resorts in the New York mountains were closed, so they headed South.

Many of the film’s most famous scenes were shot at Lake Lure. The nearby Rumbling Bald Resort’s golf course was used for the scene where Grey asks her dad for money, and the Esmeralda Inn was used for interior dance shots.

In 2010, the town of Lake Lure decided to begin celebrating its close association with the smash hit by hosting the Dirty Dancing Festival. Now an annual event, the festival draws thousands to Rutherford County each August to commemorate the now classic film and raise money for pancreatic cancer research.

This is a terrific article about nearby Hendersonville from Travel & Leisure. People often come to the area because of Asheville, but don't overlook this great smaller city and its delightful downtown plus amenities like the Flat Rock Playhouse, Hands On Children's Museum-WNC, Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, and so much more! It's one of our favorite places, and is just a short drive from Cane Creek Valley Swim-Soak-Stay. And don't miss the North Carolina Apple Festival coming up Labor Day weekend!

Hendersonville, North Carolina, offers a charming getaway the whole family will love. Here's how to plan a perfect trip to the small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Yep, you won't want to miss the Apple Festival in Hendersonville Labor Day weekend! We'll see you there!

Did you know Henderson County grows 70%-80% of the apples harvested in North Carolina? We reckon that's a pretty good reason for North Carolina’s Apple Festival to be headquartered in Hendersonville! Mark your calendars to attend the festival Aug. 30-Sept. 2 when Downtown Hendersonville is THE place to find apple everything - apple donuts, apple cider, apple pie, apple pancakes, apple 5ks... 🍎🍏
