We had a fantastic time years ago at Chimney Rock. There's a wonderful little town at the base, and a beautiful lake, as well (Lake Lure). Just a little south of Asheville, so there's access to everything Asheville has to offer. Although, it's hard to go wrong anywhere in the NC mountains. Love it! Have fun.

I live right on the outskirts of Asheville, NC, and you really can't go wrong anywhere you choose. There is Lake Lure, and there is Cherokee (there is a river, not sure about lake, but went camping there once and had a ball) pretty much anywhere around the Asheville area there is easy access to Lakes or Rivers, and when I look out my windows, all I see is mountains in any direction I look. And Asheville is very colorful. Huge mix of interests there, pretty much something for everyone! Hope you enjoy your vacation no matter where you choose!

Lake Lure is really nice.
