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.

The area is beautiful. The inn is very cute. The room was small which wasn't a huge deal, but the bathroom was tiny. We enjoyed our stay though. We were there for a wedding and the location was very convenient...less than a mile from the wedding site. I loved that the owner made coffee each morning for the guests to sit out on the deck and enjoy. It was a nice touch.

The walk to cabin unsteady. Only parking under a tree. We left with much sap and stuff all over our car. Would be nice to have newer, softer towels. Otherwise we loved the cabin and staff particularly one so nice who was ever so helpful a shout out to her were wonderful! Will stay again in the same cabin in the Fall.
