The Lodge on Lake Lure

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).

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.

The coziest, most serene Inn you could imagine! Amanda and her talented staff made our stay the perfect getaway. Rooms were immaculate with the comfiest beds. Make sure to dine at Appalacia, the chef is an ace. Enjoy relaxing on the deck over Lake Lure with a beverage to take in the views. You won't want to leave! Boat house is coming soon! Make sure to read about the history of the Inn, it's fascinating. There's a binder in the lobby.

Absolute Gem of a place My wife and I tried this place out for out 25th anniversary. So much charm (amazing rustic décor everywhere) Such incredible views Staff so nice We took the boat cruise--so informative and fun We rented kayaks and paddle boards too Just relaxing on the (multiple levels) deck with the views was amazing We will 100% be back next summer and every summer after The restaurant inside (Appalachia Restaurant) was 5 stars as well - amazing food and service--and again, the charm and setting were outstanding!!!

Beautiful property with a great staff. Exceptionally clean. Good food at the restaurant. Highly recommended staying here if you are looking for a quiet place with amazing views. Will definitely be going back.

Very well done recent refurbishment of a classic, small lake lodge. Lots of stairs, but that's the only negative I can state. Dining room was small & intimate (matching the character of the place) but food and service were excellent.

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!
