You won’t find a better property in chimney rock. They did a great job with the updates to the grounds and the rooms. The “backyard” is amazing. The only negative to come by is the $50 charge to check in early. $50 for a couple hours? If the room is ready, let the guests in! I know it’s policy and I get it. Lots of hotels try it, just pet peeve of mine when traveling. Again though, just an amazing spot!

The Hotel was great, Very Comfortable King size Bed, Great A.C., Super clean, only 1 thing bad the person above us,second floor was Stomping So Loudly, Could Barely sleep! Very Loud Stomping thought he was going to come through the roof sounded like he was playing basketball

Although not quite as nice as it used to be still looks like the best view in Chimney Rock. It’s an absolutely beautiful area

This motel is a fine choice for the area. My only quibble is that daily maid service is not provided. This was a big disappointment to my wife and myself.

Was able to check-in late and check out early easily. Owners made it very smooth. The furnace was extremely loud though. Unfortunately im a very light sleeper so only slept a clp hours.

It was very quiet and beautiful and very clean place to stay. The location was perfect for a walk into everywhere we went.

Everything was wonderful! The room was new and decorated and a modern rustic style. Everything was well thought out with the room design, although not large was very efficient and comfortable. We had an exceptional view from the deck of chimney rock and the river below. We left behind a few items and the manager Linda called twice to make sure we knew and offered to send our items to our home address. The location was fantastic at the end of the restaurant s and shops . It was quiet and peaceful there. We would definitely return whenever we are back in that area. Great job, Linda!

Bathroom frosted windows could still be seen through from outside. Need curtains or shades on bathroom windows.

Loved the Carter Lodge in Chimney Rock, NC. It is clean, quiet, and newly renovated with very friendly staff and a great location. We could see Chimney rock and the river from our balcony. In walking distance to the town which had great restaurants and stores. Only two things I didn’t like and nothing big, need black out curtains on window facing the road due to outside lights and lower shower curtain to keep floor from getting wet. Other than that it was great!! We will definitely go back.
4.4
Quaint, peaceful. Lovely place for a stay.
Downside was no microwave or coffee maker.
Would stay again.
4.4
Beautiful spot! Outdoor area soooo nice! Clean, even though older. My only reason that may not come back is the mattress was just not for us. Very soft.

This was a quick weekend getaway and i couldn't have ask for anymore.Family owned and operated,Mrs.Carter checked me in and let me know she was there if we needed anything during our stay.This is an older hotel,as they all are in the Chimney Rock area,but was immaculate.The views of the river and the mountains from the rear of this property are amazing.We very much enjoyed sitting in the swing late afternoon and early morning just soaking up the peace and quiet.Was only about 4-5 min walk into town for restaurants and everything else the downtown area has to offer.Just cant say enough good things about this place and looking forward to another stay very soon

The property was a little run down and over priced.

Loved the outdoor area overlooking river , access to river and Chimney Rock view. This area contained swings!, tables and even a few games. Relaxing atmosphere
4.4
Motel style room on upper floor, basic amenities including fridge but noisy air con unit. Morning coffee and microwave provided on lower floor, none of the vending machines were working at the time of our stay. Our balcony had nice views over the river and great views of Chimney Rock, we paddled and swam in the river which has access from the hotel garden. Rooms on the upper floor have private balconies, sun umbrellas and easy access from the car park. Chimney Rock village was 10 minute walk away with good range of gift shops, cafes etc the Burnt Shirt Vineyard had terrific food and great staff. Rumbling Bald Trail appx 15 mins drive away provided a really good circular walk.
4.4
We would stay there again. Comfortable bed and bath. Cold air condition. Short walking distance to Chimney Rock. Would bring chairs next time to sit in the river on a hot day.
4.4
This is our favorite place to stay in Chimney Rock. The view is awesome, the staff is friendly and helpful.

Nice location with river and view of chimney rock. Door wouldn’t lock and property is very old and dated. Beds cheap and uncomfortable. Tip envelope for housekeeping is tacky. Is it wrong to expect the room to be clean?
4.4
I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful setting..the creek is literally at the edge of the great outdoor space. There are some minor amenities my issues- toilet ran very loud, the towels are thin and it’s a little dated but honestly there is absolutely no reason not to stay here (just a heads up that it’s a simple motel with weak Wi-Fi but that’s the case in the area in general) but if you want a peaceful stay that’s convenient to everything in the area with a cup of coffee by the creek or great balcony to watch the sun set on the mountain this is your place!!
4.4
If you’re thinking of visiting the area and don’t stay at this place, you’re doing a disservice to yourself. Great view of the river and of chimney rock.
Good restaurants and stores within walking distance too. Stay here, you will not be disappointed.

The manager Ms. Linda was so kind and attentive. The property is so beautiful and peaceful, with the river running right behind it! I was there to have alone time to deal with death in my family! The tranquil surroundings gave me just what I needed to renew myself. I plan to return often now that I know about this quaint and tranqil place.The view of the mountain outside my room was also amazing! Ms. Linda thank you!
4.4
Great location right on the river. Beautiful little place. I imagine it would get a bit busy if it was filled up but lovely setting I'll definitely be back
4.4
Nice 2 day visit.
4.4
Fantastic location right next to the river. Lodge was in need of some touch ups but room was comfy and good bed . Only bad thing was no internet. They give you a Wi-Fi password but service is terrible. Town needs to work together to get fiber installed for entire area.

Great stay. Nothing at all to complain about. Will be back.
