The Lodge on Lake Lure

Travel Date: August 31, 2024

An absolutely fabulous weekend escape from anywhere. Top shelf accommodations with a superb restaurant (Appalachia) on property. Highly recommend the lodge boat tour to take in the entire area around sunset. Minutes from Chimney Rock, NC and other local attractions. We can’t wait to go back again.

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!

What an amazing place and gluten friendly!!! We picked the Lodge based on reviews and the need to find a quick overnight stop and relax for a night after our flight into Charlotte from New England. Although we booked the "overnight room" which is downstairs, when we arrived we were happy to discover that since it was during the week and the Lodge was quiet, we were moved to a similar room but on the main floor, so we could skip the stairs with our luggage. And this one night stay gets better -- the views are spectacular, our dinner at the Appalachia Restaurant outstanding, all service impeccable, rooms perfectly appointed in updated cabin theme, and morning coffee was full of flavor, plentiful and hot! When planning this overnight at the Lodge, as a traveler with Celiac, I am always very concerned about continental breakfasts which are typically "carb" heavy. So I sent staff an email prior to my arrival and was I excited that staff went above and beyond to make sure that there were several different gluten free options available, including a bowl of fresh blueberries for the yogurt! After breakfast, it was difficult to leave, so we spent a long time lingering with our coffee, delaying our departure time and looking at the view. We have already booked our return trip for the Fall and can't wait to see the lake in full Fall color.

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!

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 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!

Wow! What a wonderful surprise and now favorite "get away" destination. The Lodge on Lake Lure was beyond our expectations. Everything was clean, comfortable, and cozy and everyone was friendly, nice, and so helpful. It was a magical time as we were there before the craziness of hot, summer weather, and crowds. The restaurant was by far the best meal we've had in the US. Seriously, great food and drinks! I can't wait to return.

Of all the lodges or hotels we've stayed at in NC the Lodge on L Lure has the most beautiful setting. The lake is gorgeous. The new boat house and decks are wonderful to sit on to read a book, sip champagne or just relax. The staff is really friendly and the restaurant is outstanding, very gourmet. Morning coffee is delicious but they only offer a minimal continental breakfast, no big deal for us. The rooms have a mountain theme with pretty birch furniture. Our mattress was pretty firm. Our room did not have a dresser but has a closet but bring extra hangers with you. We asked for a second luggage stand which they provided. You can swim right off the dock. We enjoyed morning coffee and tea on our deck overlooking the lake. I highly recommend sitting on your deck at sunrise, the lake is very peaceful with just the sounds of chirping birds. May even see deer below your deck at sunrise. The views of the.mountains is breathtaking!

We took advantage of the sunset cruise and captain Scott was awesome! He did a great historical tour. Breakfast included delicious overnight oats. Can’t wait to visit again

My husband and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary here and loved every minute of it! The new expansive dock and boathouse make ALL the difference. The Lodge is situated on the lake so that it offers amazing views of mountains and the lake. We enjoyed paddle boarding, swimming in the lake, walking the grounds, lounging on the deck above the boathouse with a glass of wine, and exploring the multi-leveled outdoor area. Our room was newly renovated, quiet and beautifully appointed. Every staffer was friendly and helpful. And don't even get me started on the restaurant - the BEST food we've had in years. We actually brought friends back two weeks later for dinner and it was just as perfect. Thank you to the new owners - well done!

Great relaxing quiet get away with amazing lake access. Everyone that worked there fabulous! The food and drinks was creative and delicious. Boathouse and deck were a great add. Take the boat with Captain Scott. His knowledge of lake was great and best way to see the lake. We spent the afternoon floating around in the lake which was great. However watch out for the boats coming in when bar openings. We lost the peaceful with a family of kids but went back to our amazing private room with balcony.
