"Come, take a step back in time ... and enjoy!"

Chimney Rock Village is situated in one of the most beautiful natural settings in all the mountains of western North Carolina - Hickory Nut Gorge. The Village lies directly below the famous vistas of Chimney Rock Mountain and contains almost three miles of the scenic Rocky Broad River. The Rocky Broad River sliced its way through the high terrain eons ago and one can only stand in awe of the magnificence on display in the rugged cliffs, the sheer drop of a 400 foot waterfall, incredible rock formations, glimpses of wildlife and the joyous rush of the river itself.
