Lake Lure

As I shared in my last post, my husband and I went on our first anniversary trip last weekend. We started off the weekend by attending the Block House Steeplechase horse races. After that, we drove to Lake Lure to spend the night at the Lake Lure Inn and Spa, built in 1927. F. Scott Fitzgerald stayed at the inn once(and as he is one of my favorite authors, I found this very exciting!) as well as Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey while they were filming Dirty Dancing. Lake Lure is a lovely hidden gem and only about hour from Greenville, so if you live nearby I would highly recommend visiting!
