The location is great and you can easily walk to many stores and restaurants. The owners are very nice and very friendly. The property was very well maintained. In the back they have swings, tables/chairs, and cornhole for your enjoyment by the river. Best I could tell every room overlooked the river and had a great view of Chimney Rock.... More

The Carter Lodge is such a fantastic place. This was our 3rd stay since 2009 and it is always great. The rooms are clean, beautiful views and caring owners. Joe and Linda will help in any way they can to ensure you enjoy your stay. The Honeymoon/jacuzzi room has a wonderful view of Chimney Rock and the river. The fishing... More

First off, the view is wonderful!!!! You are right under Chimney Rock. The back yard is very pretty and a great place to just relax. The river is right there and they have swings and benches to enjoy the view. They also lit the yard up with tiki torches at night so you can still enjoy the yard in the... More

We found Carter Lodge to be a comfortable and clean motel with outstanding views. We took pictures of ourselves on our balcony with Chimney Rock in the background. The rushing river sound was so relaxing esp. while sitting in a nice swing on the lawn. If you are looking for luxury digs, this isn't for you, but if a little... More

My wife and I decided to stay here rather than in Ashville on a recent overnight to pick up a friend. We were so glad we did. I had read the Tripadvisor reviews, so I knew that this was an older, but well maintained lodge. The owners could not have been more friendly or more helpful. They recommended restaurants, sight...

In area to see Chimney Rock and decided to stay a couple nights to see other points of interest. Owners were extremely nice, and looked out for your comfort. This is not a new motel with all the amenities of some, but it is quite comfortable and peaceful. Had all the necessities and at a very good price. Great view... More

Was riding through on our motorcycle not planning on stopping. Chimney Rock looked interesting so we decided to stay. Looked at a few others but thought this one was the best. Quite pleased with owners. Very clean. Old but very nice. View was great off our balcony. Short walk to town or even Lake Lure. Plan on going back soon.

We stayed here in June 2012. We had some friends that were gathering in the area. They were camping, but we prefer some amenities in life and I was oncall for work for the weekend and needed very reliable wi-fi. The room was very clean and fit our needs for a 1 night stay for 2 adults and 2 kids.... More
