Brown Mountain Beach Resort is located at 6785 Brown Mountain Beach Rd, Lenoir, NC 28645, right beside Pisgah National Forest. It's a 1.5 hour drive from both the Charlotte Douglas International Airport and the Asheville Regional Airport.
Google Maps currently shows that Brown Mountain Beach Road is closed and suggests a much longer route than necessary, but the road is and will be open! The drive time is 1.5 hours from the Charlotte airport and you can use Waze to see the most direct route.
Note: There is very limited cell service at and near the venue, so please set your GPS before approaching! Also, BMBR has very limited WiFi only in specific locations, including in only some cabins, so please plan accordingly.
There is no Uber/Lyft availability in the area — we recommend carpools if possible (contact us if you need help coordinating or are willing to drive others!) and getting a rental car if arriving at the airport. There is free parking at BMBR. There are also a few local taxi services, such as AbbyCab, that can do airport rides but should be booked in advance.
BMBR has limited space onsite for lodging which we are coordinating. If you haven’t received communication from us about onsite lodging in your invite, then we cannot currently guarantee you a space onsite and recommend you book one of the other lodging options below. We will do our best to get as many guests onsite as possible and will reach out to confirm interest in switching to onsite lodging in the event space opens up. For those who do not stay onsite, you'll still be able to participate in all of the activities of the weekend.
Other lodging options include our hotel block at the nearby Hampton Inn in Lenoir, as well as some great AirBnB / VRBO options in the surrounding area (e.g., Lake James, Lenoir)
