You can tell at one time this was a very nice place to stay. Unfortunately, it hasnt't been maintained and seems to be rundown. We stayed in Johnny's cabin. It was charming and definitely in better condition than other parts of the property. We really enjoyed the Jacuzzi tub and robes! It was clean and worked well for our basic stay, but if you're looking for anything fancy or modern, probably not the stay for you. The TV had basic very fuzzy channels. I had to relocate the coffee pot to the bathroom because the power kept tripping when I tried to use it in the kitchen. The inn itself could use a good face lift. Some paint and just overall tidying of the property could go a long way. The inn sign is falling apart. It's really sad to see a property with so much potential and past nostalgia, just fall apart. The spa was not open. It was interesting to walk around the inside of the inn and check out the surroundings at the suggestion of the very nice woman who checked us in. We decided to check things out one rainy afternoon, but unfortunately we seemed like an annoyance to the female employee working inside at that time. We left the building and didn't go back in our entire stay. The pool was refreshing and we did use it several times throughout our stay. I really hope the Inn can be restored to its former glory. It's one thing to preserve history, but not at the expense of basic upkeep and maintenance.

This was our first stay at the Lake Lure Inn and will definitely not be the last. The staff were amazing and we loved our room. We didn’t eat at the restaurant or visit the bar. The spa is closed but they are working on restoring it after Helene.
If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Set your expectations for 1920’s luxury. This resort is not modern and does not have breakfast options, the tv is small, rooms are small and it is old. However if you want history and a fantastic location in a beautiful area this is it. The pool is fantastic, views from the porch are fantastic and staff is wonderful

We arrived 2 hours early so we decided to go in and see if maybe we could check in. Walked inside and stood at the counter where you check in and a man was sitting there and for over 5 minutes NEVER acknowledged us. A lady who was vacuuming the floor in the lobby finally asked if she could help us. I told her we had reservations and she said that it would be 4 PM before we could check in because nothing was ready. While standing there waiting to be acknowledged, I heard the cleaning staff report over the radio that the second floor was complete and they were heading to another floor. We left and drove around for awhile and
we finally checked in a little after 4. The actual check in process was ok. Ate at the on site restaurant that night and the waitress was really nice. The food was ok. Nothing special. My son in law, grandson and I had a golf tee time the next morning at 0750. We had called the hotel prior to coming and ask about having coffee that early before we left. The lady there told us on the phone that there was a coffee truck parked outside and would have some. The next morning we stopped to get coffee and it was closed. Our wives walked down there a little later and it was still closed. People in the hotel were waiting in the lobby and complaining that they were told the same thing about the coffee truck and there was no coffe at the hotel lobby. Finally around a little past 8 AM, staff came in and brought out a container of coffe. Same the next morning.

Beautiful historic property. Lots of neat history, almost like you're staying in a museum. Beautiful town, lake, beach, and close to a lot of restaurants, hiking trails, the marina, and parks. It's not a modern facility, but it has that cute historic vibe that's perfect for a weekend away. The pool is amazing.

As always, the Lake Lure Inn was a delight. They used to have continental breakfast but weren’t offering during this stay. Always enjoyed the continental breakfast and it added value to the many stays there. We look forward to its return. In its absence we thoroughly enjoyed delicious breakfasts at a fairly new restaurant called The 828.

The reason I gave the Inn a poor rating on amenities was the bar was closed, the restaurant was closed, and the staff(which was excellent) was only on duty from 8 a.m.to 8 p.m. Lucky we didn't need anything as the rooms were well stocked, but if we did we would have to call and wait for a person to come help. I think that the Inn should have let me know they were on a winter schedule until Memorial Day and the bar and restaurant were closed. I probably would have booked somewhere else. It is a historic hotel and I understand the fixtures are old, but the toilet kept cycling and as mentioned no one was available to fix it after hours. Not a big problem but a little annoying. I will state once again that the two ladies at the front desk were friendly, efficient, and super nice. Thank you ladies.

We only stayed one night. The Inn had not opened for the season yet. It is still recovering from hurricane Helene as is all of Lake Lure. Therefore, there was no dining available. We only encountered one staff person. The reception desk young woman, who was extremely courteous and accommodating. She even offered to take our bags upstairs to our room since the elevator was out of commission. Would definitely return again when everything is in operation.

I visited in the off season, but the hotel is lovely. If you're used to staying in the cookie cutter hotels that all look the same, this hotel will surprise you. It's all furnished with antiques. There's so much charm and personality here. It's delightful! Don't hesitate to come here thinking the hurricane has everything closed. Lake Lure is very near \"full pool\" now. The town is open for business and could use your support. The staff helped me out with tips on local events and attractions. Go to Lake Lure! Stay at the Inn!

Unfortunately, due to the flooding last year, no restaurant, bar nor spa was available. I would have liked to know that before booking. Staff was very nice but only worked limited hours. At arrival, no other cars were in the parking lot. Front door was unlocked, but nobody in the hotel. There was an envelope on the front desk with my name on it. Inside was a room key (an actual key) and a nice note to lock the front door behind me for the night, or if we went out again. I was taken back at first, but it did add a friendly small-town appeal to the property. The room and shower were clean and tidy but very dated and small.

Easy check in. Beautiful old hotel. We had a king suite on the first floor. It’s a little bigger than some & I didn’t want to deal with hauling things up. I didn’t know until we were checking out I could have wandered around and looked at things. It’s kinda like a museum in some areas.
Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The bathroom needs some minor changes. The shower curtain clings to you, needs to be longer w magnets. There’s absolutely no place to put any of your bathroom items or makeup. A small table or low shelving in the closet with no doors would help. Closet is in the bathroom. The shelf over the toilet leans & if touched things start to slide forward and it’s directly over the toilet with NO lid. Back of toilet there’s an handicap rail & prevents much of anything there.
It does have an older look to fit the time period, but there needs to be some adjustments to have places to put your bathroom travel things.
Small microwave and refrigerator. Tv is very high up & very small and it’s across the room from the bed. Being so close to the ceiling I got a creak in my next trying to look at it from the sofa.
Man made lake/pond is across the road. Not far from chimney rock entrance & reason we were there. There’s so much going on and it’s coming back slowing. So much work to do in so many areas it’s gonna take time. Restaurant is closed and there’s no breakfast or anything around serving any so bring stuff with you or wait till lunch.

The Moose & the Goose was a fun bar. The continental breakfast wasn’t much. People unfavorably commented on the frozen waffles with sugar crystals that barely fit in the toaster. Came out in a million pieces. Should have offered a waffle maker and fruit juices.
Coffee makers should have been labeled.
Our room 222 had the tiniest bathroom ever seen with a toilet that was only 12” tall & very hard to get off of. The Wand was missing from one of the blinds. Thank God hubby could reach to close it with his fingers. The queen bed was very comfortable. We had no soap to wash our hands with. Only shower wash in a tiny tube was provided. We tripped on the bathroom step up a few times. Ouch! It was very awkward. The wall A/C was quite loud with white noise, but okay with earplugs, which I brought. The old fashioned room keys emphasized just how much this was a Historical Hotel. Nearly 100 years old!

The rooms need to be totally gutted! The rug must of been 30 years old and never been cleaned. We traveled with my pup who is allergic to many things. He is finally well after 8 years due to a new drug. He now has an awful infection and has to be on Prednisone to get him to stop scratching. Imagine paying $60 and then having a sick dog because of the dirty room. We were in the room for only 16 hours. There was a power strip where the frig and micro was and that was the only place to charge phones, etc. The lighting was awful. Even the toilet seat was bizarre. There was no room on the sink to put anything on and there was no soap. The breakfast was decent. Parking was good.

Grand Old Place past its prime

The lobby and main hallways are grand and amazing with beautiful furniture, artwork, and antiques. However, once you get off the main halls, there is a musty smell. The rooms are very, very old. There is a stong musty odor. Luckily, we were able to open the windows. The shower is very tiny and looks like the tile is original to the hotel, but the water pressure was good. The bed and pillows were of adequate comfort. Cleanliness was pretty good given that the rooms are so old, and it is hard to clean old things and make them shiny.

We spent 2 nights at the inn. They are trying very hard when their community was devastated by hurricane Helene. The Inn was constructed in 1927 and there is a lot of history at the Inn.

Loved the bar in the lobby. Food was good. Service was great and staff was friendly.

But was very disappointed in the room. It was an absolute mess. My teen said it was the worst room ever.
-All around just seemed dirty
-Dirty smelling sheets/comforter,
-The soap holder in Shower was dangling
-Bathroom smelled bad
-Shower did not look clean
-The Toilet was leaking from tank when flushed
It was so bad that I seriously considered just leaving and eating the cost, but the surrounding properties had limited availability. Definitely would not ever stay there again. We stayed in the area because my daughter was getting married about 30min away...

The property exist in an excellent location for guest to easily enjoy all that Lake Lure and Chimney Rock have to offer. It is walkable to the beach and local bars/restaurants. The property is clean and run by excellent hosts. The inn was opened in the same year as the dam and therefore possesses volumes of history in its walls. That said, the inn is very dated and could use more comfortable bedding and up to date in-room entertainment but I would still encourage others to visit and will stay there in future visits
