“Fantastic location...cabin feeling dated room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2012 via mobile

The view it gorgeous of the river below and chimney rock above. Stairs give you access to the river below! However when down there if you aren't facing the river you see the unappealing grounds 'beneath' the motel. As for the room, we were in room 12, which I think attached to the apartment of the owner with a lock... More

“Well, this is better than Rumbling Bald resort. Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2012

It is the best new "hidden" hotel/inn. Watch the river from your room! And then get in it. It's cool but we had to. Greatest place in Chimney Rock/Lake Lure. As soon as you walk downstairs and to the back you are transformed into a different day. I don't think we'll ever even go back to Rumbling Bald now that... More

We have had no complaints whatsoever of anything like this at all, in fact we just had our health inspection and was graded with a 99. They did inform us that people carry bed bugs... More
