It was nice and clean. Comfy and cozy. Lady at check in was awesome and very informative. Will refer friends and family. Planning on future trips back here.
Room was clean, but we found a hair in the bed, so could be a little cleaner. Bathroom was spotless and beautiful! Terry, the woman at the front, was wonderful to talk to and very understanding to us getting in late on check in. We ended up checking out a little late and they had no problem with it too. Overall, a great stay and will be comjng back in the summer!
our room was perfect, the property was beautiful, and we absolutely adore the staff! the woman in the office & the owner were extremely kind, welcoming, and accommodating :)
will definitely book again next time we’re in the area!
Peaceful, tranquil, they have a small library which is a huge plus to me. I would definitely go again. Loved the waterfall, pool was clean and accessible. Fresh coffee on the front porch to set out and enjoy the setting was a major plus for us and let’s not forget the bears! Super enjoyable
Home away from home..It's sooo cozy here and the Staff makes you feel like family..Very clean..and the hospitality is Amazing..I recommend this place highly..
Great location between the town of Chimney Rock and the lake. Super cute and charming. Very North Carolina mountains. Plus they have a pool, a little fountain, and a large shared front porch. I really enjoyed our stay.
Needed a clean place to stay for a weekened at Lake Lure / Chimney rock and this place checked all the boxes. Staff were great and coffee was good. Rooms are small but it's a motor inn and not the Grand Bohemian, so manage your expectations. Would stay again.

Good location. Was looking right at chimney rock off the front balcony
We had a lovely stay. It’s evident the owners make every effort to ensure each stay is wonderful, and ours was! The updates are appreciated, yet none of the charm is lost. It’s a safe and secure place to stay in town, and the added charm is noted. Would stay again anytime. Thank you!
The staff there were very friendly and helpful. Anything you need they would be there for you. Excellent place to stay. Thank you for making it homely. RP
Great little one night getaway. We stayed in the Mimosa cabin so cute and clean. We walked past the waterfall to the pool and was almost disappointed as the pool looked void of any water. Nope the pool was that clean the water was so clear ! Inn is close to everything.
Room was small but cozy, however, there's a huge front porch/deck across the length of the hotel with rocking chairs plus "picnic" tables. The property has hotel rooms and cabin rentals. The hotel rooms have been very nicely updated and decorated by the new owners and cabins will be updated soon. There's a beautifully landscaped waterfall and bushes planted around the fenced in pool that give a sense of privacy. My sister and I had a quiet, relaxing stay. Highly recommend!
The room was perfect and the view and setting were ideal.
The staff were friendly, helpful. It was a surprise after the first night to have the linens changed in the bathroom. Most hotels we have stayed at recently only change the towels after a few days or at the end of the stay.
We would definitely stay here again.

The cottage was perfect for my husband and I.we was so surprised, that the voters had everything plus. And right by the river.. Don’t forget your fishing pole. Cottage is fully furnished, grills and stove. We will book again. You well be sorry if you pass this Gem up. Thank you again Ashley and chimney riverside cottages.
Fantastic overnight stay. Room was clean and fresh. Early evening (SAT NIGHT) a little loud music from the restaurant/pub across street but that ended early. I love the porch rocking chairs and view of mountain!
I might suggest to owners that they don’t allow guests to smoke directly outside of their room, but perhaps a designated area down at far end. Often when I opened my door to the porch, I could smell cigarette smoke.
Otherwise, a great place to stay!
