The Lodge on Lake Lure

The Lodge on Lake Lure is just the best and deserves six stars at least!!! The rooms are remarkably comfortable, the staff makes you feel like family, and the in-house restaurant, Appalachia, nails the fine line between fine dining and comfort food. This place simply has it all. Finally, but not least, the staff is phenomenal, especially Amanda and Chef Tim. They make you feel like you have stepped into their own homes. To cap it off, what can you say about a place that takes care of you while a disaster is happening around you? This happened during the recent Hurricane Helene disaster and with no power, no cell service, and no internet available, they took great care of us and made us feel safe and secure. We truly loved our full visit here and recommend it to one and all.

This is a beautifully restored historical building in a peaceful setting. It’s a great place to go to just “chill” for a bit, but also close enough to some good hiking trails. Also, it’s a good “base of operations” if you’re interested in visiting Hendersonville and/or Asheville: they’re both just about an hour away; making it a great day trip. It’s not a bed and breakfast, however, they have a continental breakfast of cereal (the overnight oats were delicious), homemade muffins and breads, bagels, or toast which we thoroughly enjoyed each morning. Amanda and Sharron were very nice and made our stay enjoyable. There’s a restaurant on site with good food, but pricy. Be sure to take the evening pontoon boat ride that you reserve directly through the Lodge; very relaxing, and informative, enjoyable evening. Recommend you book a room with the oversized clawfoot tub: fantastic for a rejuvenating soak!

This is hands down the best place to stay in Lake Lure!! We are repeat visitors to the lodge and it gets better with each visit. Some of the highlights of the weekend were the private access to the lake for swimming, the beautiful lake views from our balcony, fabulous on site restaurant Appalachia and the aesthetic of the historic lodge! It’s in a beautiful, natural setting and we saw deer each morning while eating our breakfast. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating- they really strive for perfection! I can’t say enough about the comfort and beauty of the rooms too. When visiting Lake Lure, this place is really all you need! Once we got on property this past Friday, we didn’t leave again until it was time to head home Sunday. Looking forward to our next visit!

The Lodge at Lake Lure was absolutely incredible. We were a late check in and everything was ready for us with notes on exactly what we needed. The rooms were spotless and the beds were very comfortable. We were with 4 other couples and toured each one’s room. All were spectacular with a cozy feel. The restaurant had delicious food and was 5 stars. We ate lunch on the dock and swam. It was such a relaxing weekend and we never had to leave the Lodge for anything. The staff was so friendly and catered to all of our needs. The views were impeccable. We will definitely go again!

My husband & I came here for a 4 night get away. We were not disappointed. The views are spectacular, the food amazing and the staff so accommodating! We were in room 9 and it was wonderful! Comfy king bed, private balcony and very large bathroom. We took Captain Bill's boat trip the first night and he was great! So informative about the history of Lake Lure. We did some sight seeing in the mornings (Chimney Rock, Chimney Rock Village & Flowering Bridge) and hung out on our balcony or on the deck of the Lodge in the afternoons. The "continental breakfast" every morning was more than adequate to jump start our day. Amanda & Anastasia (the front desk staff), Jennifer at the bar & Kathy who served us in the Appalachia were all wonderful! I left my hair dryer in the room & called them upon returning home. They had found it & said would ship it to me. A few days later, Amanda called to say, they suddenly couldn't find the hair dryer but she went on Amazon and sent me the exact same dryer - free of charge! THAT is customer service! I worked in the hotel industry for over 20 years and I know all about Hospitality! The Lodge on Lake Lure is 5 Star! We will be back!

The Lodge on Lake Lure is a true hidden gem! The room and view are unparalleled. We loved the pontoon boat ride and received outstanding service from the entire crew. The dining options were excellent, and our family was thoroughly satisfied with our stay.

The best way to experience Lake Lure! The hotel staff made everything easy and ensured you had everything you needed to feel right at home. The view is unbeatable from the restaurant and deck area (which is very large). There’s everything from quiet spots to soak in nature to fun activities by the boat house. One of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at!

We had an unforgettable stay at The Lodge on Lake Lure! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views and the serene atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and spotless, with an incredibly comfortable bed that made our nights restful and rejuvenating. The perfect blend of cozy, romantic, and rustic, our lakefront room was both charming and inviting, creating the ideal setting for a romantic getaway. Amanda's warm and friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our stay, making us feel right at home. The dining room provided exquisite meals that were delightful, with an amazing view. We especially enjoyed a fantastic lunch by the lake, which was the perfect way to savor the beautiful surroundings. The staff's kindness and friendliness truly enhanced our experience. Logan, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing time. He assisted us with renting kayaks and paddleboards at the boathouse, making it easy for us to explore the lake. Every aspect of our stay was thoughtfully curated to provide the ultimate in relaxation and enjoyment. From the luxurious amenities to the exceptional service, The Lodge on Lake Lure exceeded our expectations in every way. We are already planning our return!

Wow. Very underwhelmed. Stayed one night with my husband who has stage 4 cancer and just released from the hospital after having a stroke. We were guests ($350 per night) there and my daughter was being proposed to on the dock. We were watching from the empty restaurant where I was approached and told we couldn’t sit there. I told them I was happy to pay for drinks and food so that my husband could watch the proposal. I was then told it was a reserved table and I was happy to reserve any table by the window and again offered to order food and drinks. We missed the proposal thanks to the ongoing conversation. We ended up in the bar area and tried to make the best of the situation. By the time we left there were zero guests seated in the restaurant area at any of the tables I offered to reserve! Someone needs to look up the definition of hospitality. In all my travels (I’m a travel advisor who has been to 6 of our 7 continents) I have NEVER seen such lack of empathy ever. If I could rate the service a zero I would. It’s my understanding they may be under new ownership so maybe that’s where the disconnect is…. The room was nice but the ac blew so hard and loud I literally had to turn it off so I could sleep (room 17).
