We love the ease of life in these upper foothills of western North Carolina. It's comfortable, health care is convenient, and it’s fun to explore not only historical Rutherford County, but all the quaint small towns peppered throughout the area.

Take a drive along the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway, or a dinner cruise on beautiful Lake Lure. Walk into the many old hardware stores and find those long forgotten items they no longer even make. The stores still have the old wooden floor boards that squeak as you walk on them. Stroll down to the library and pick up a new book. Strike up a conversation at the coffee shop. We don’t mind a couple of new faces to talk with.

You won’t find a friendlier town, or more open, honest and helpful people than right here in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Think of it as a second childhood, or a long deserved rest. Either way, you’ll be impressed with the quality of life in the hills of western North Carolina!
