The closest towns and cities (listed below) are some of the most picturesque mountain towns in NC.

Forest City What is now Forest City began as a crossroads on the Shelby-Rutherfordton and Spartanburg-Lincolnton Roads. Originally, the town was incorporated as Burnt Chimney in 1877. A replica near the site of the original chimney adorns the public square today. The "chimney" was the remains of the McArthur home that marked the crossroads. Today, the population of Forest City is 17,450. The town remains the commercial hub, there you will find all the major food stores, Super Wal-Mart, Lowe’s home improvement center and a small mall anchored by Belks. The legacy of "community betterment" can still be seen in the pride the town and its residents take in keeping Forest City a beautiful and livable community. The local college, Isothermal Community College, offers a full array of educational, hobby and adult courses.

Rutherfordton: A quaint little town of just over 4,100 residents and the county seat, is an easy 25 minute drive away. There you have a 150-bed hospital, plus many antique, specialty shops, outlet stores and Restaurants.

Watch the mountains awaken as spring blankets the hillsides with wildflowers. Glorious summer brings warm days for outdoor adventures and cool nights for enjoying the hours after dark.

This is an outdoorsman's paradise. You are close to five North Carolina lakes (two of which are Lake Lure & Lake James) where you may picnic, swim, fish, boat, canoe, hike and much more.

There are several stables in the area. The closest of which is located only 12 miles from the site. Some of these facilities offer a variety of activities from trail rides to lessons and stabling your own horses.
