The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa, a Western North Carolina landmark and the gem of the Hickory Nut Gorge, announced a new chapter – the transfer of ownership and operation from Lake Lure Properties LLC to Ridgeline Acquisitions LLC.

The sale includes the 72-room hotel; the iconic Arcade Commerce Building; the historic Keeter home and acreage; the lrongate salon and spa; multiple restaurants; professional offices and public spaces, which draw hundreds of thousands of patrons annually. All operations will continue uninterrupted during this transition.
