Sometimes you find a special little gem and this is one. It's a very nostalgic old time hotel that reminds me of days gone by. With that being said, the facility and rooms have been updated and were very pleasant and clean. The staff checked with us daily to be sure all of our needs were met and if there was anything else they could do for us. My stay was in October and the nights were getting chilly so we had a roaring fire in one of the fire pits while listening to the river below. Guests and staff gathered around and we had a wonderful time chatting and enjoying the company. Then there's the Tiki Bar, what an added bonus. It's located on the property so it's always convenient and the bartenders were friendly and engaging. The food was good, fresh cooked with fast service and we ate there often. The location is close to town and Chimney Rock, Lake Lure and Bat Cave are right there. For us it was the perfect little getaway. I came away from my stay there with new found friendships and I can't wait to go back. Thanks ya'll for a wonderful time.
