rebuilding after Helene
The owners of Chimney Rock Smokehouse are working hard to rebuild the historic Broad River Inn and Miniature Golf Course following the damage to the Chimney Rock and Lake Lure area. This property has long been part of our community, and restoring it is an important step in helping our town recover.
If you’ve been looking for a way to support the rebuilding efforts in Chimney Rock, we truly appreciate your kindness and generosity. Every contribution helps us move one step closer to reopening and preserving a place that means so much to both locals and visitors.
Thank you for being part of our recovery and for supporting small businesses in the Lake Lure and Chimney Rock community.
