When we first discovered Lake Tillery, Morrow Mountain State Park and Uwharrie National Forest, we kept asking ourselves and others…why have we never heard of any of this before? We were told on several occasions,

‘This area is the best kept secret in North Carolina.”

If you’re in the same situation, let us help you discover the natural charms of Stanly and Montgomery counties and beyond…within an hour or much less of Piney Point Retreat.

Just look at what you’ll find nearby…

If you’re up for a challenge and NOT afraid of heights…check out Carolina Tree Top Challenge! Just a 20 minute drive from PPR…we haven’t tried it yet, but I know there is at least one visit in our near future!

If boating & /or fishing is your thing…bring your boat! We have plenty of parking for your trailer. And with 2 beautiful boat launches, each 10 minutes away…you have quick and easy access to the lake…

…Or rent a pontoon boat at Tillery Boat Rentals located at nearby Lilly’s Bridge Marina or a kayak at Lake Tillery Kayaking.

Discover Morrow Mountain State Park! Trails, boating and picnicing await…only 20-25 minutes away. We were shocked at the elevation up at the scenic overlook!
