We'll be staying in a private chalet with amazing mountain views of the Chimney Rock and Lake Lure area (see sample pictures below). Chimney Rock, the filming location of "The Last of the Mohicans," offers amazing and sweeping mountain vistas. Chimney Rock village is in the Hickory Nut Gorge, a natural gap through the southern Appalachian mountains that contains such unique geological features as the Chimney Rock formation itself as well as many rare plants and animals. Chimney Rock village, incorporated in 1991, is among just a few villages in North Carolina. Most buildings downtown, just outside Chimney Rock Park, date to the 1920s. The village became a resort town around Chimney Rock Park, which began to be developed in 1902. Chimney Rock State Parks elevation ranges from about 1,100 feet to 2,800 feet and include ~5,000 acres. Within the park you'll find some of North Carolinas most unique offerings including the 404-foot Hickory Nut Falls, one of the most dramatic waterfalls in Western North Carolina, and the site from which many scenes in “The Last of the Mohicans” were filmed.
