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
These baby cubs and the mama was seen down the road at the eatery
If you will notice the bear that just happened across the road when I was taking a picture of the mountain

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.

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!

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.

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.

Nice place!

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!

So/so

The really nice manager let me in early to a small cottage style room ( dated) ladybugs crawled the ceiling, the bed sagged and no extra blanket. The porch outside the front door and view are worth a lot. I left at 6am but no coffee Though it’s provided at some time.

The Inn was a walkable distance to the Riverside Event Center, which was exactly what I needed. Parking to the 3 bedroom suit was not that convenient and on a narrow road, beware if you want to bring a big truck, like we did. I don't recommend bringing a big vehicle, it's doable but be cautious. I do want to say that this is an older hotel with outdated charms all over the place. Nothing is new or up-to-date for those of you looking for something modern. Easy check in and check out. Terry, an employee, was friendly and sweet to us. The VIEW from our porch was the best part! We could see Chimney Rock from the front door. Overall it was a great stay and my family will be back.

The unit was spacious, clean, had everything we needed. The cute little gas fireplace didn’t work for us but could have been user error. We were only there one night and the wall unit heated the place nicely so it wasn’t an issue. Only took off one star because while it is riverside, it’s technically not a cottage. It’s in the basement of a larger house. There was a lovely deck with some chairs we could have used to sit and watch the river in nicer weather but the price was a bit high in our opinion for what it was.
