1. Baymont by Wyndham Forest City

Forest City

"It is a very dark area. The motel itself is well lit, but getting to n the correct road even with gps was not easy. Panhandlers. Then asked for a security deposit. Requested to cancel and response was "we don't handle 3rd party". I did book through Expedia, but didn't think it would be available source of discrimination. I was alone. Traveling to see my dad in hospice. Still made me pay for the reservation despite leaving the property and booking elsewhere."

The Quiet Chimney @ Lake Lure

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice small cabin in a great location."

HOT TUB, FIRE PIT, DOGS WELCOME, 2 MINUTES to LAKE LURE BEACH and CHIMNEY ROCK

8/10 Good

"We loved the location of this property, private feeling and with trees all around. The smells and sounds of summer and nature were very relaxing. We loved the outdoor space and the windows which afforded a lovely view no matter where you looked. It was a like a tree house get away. There are stairs to get to the front door and stairs to get down to the 2nd bathroom and beds on the “basement” level. The downstairs can only be accessed from the outside and is completely separate from the main space. It was so conveniently located to the lake for boat rentals and a market just down the road. 5 minute drive to Chimney Rock’s little Main Street. An hour to Asheville for a day trip. We would stay here again but there were a lot of spiders and webs (you are in nature, in a forested location) so you must sweep them away every time you go out on the deck especially if you have little ones or pets visiting. While we were there the hot tub was broken and the upstairs shower was not working but our host was so kind to refund us for the inconvenience and was very easy to communicate with. It’s a quaint, quirky older property but it has a very relaxing and comfortable air about it. The beds were comfortable and it was a safe, quiet place to stay."

Lakefront cabin at Lake Lure with grill, boathouse, dock & porch

10/10 Excellent

"Charming & rustic cabin with beautiful views and great lake access. Especially loved the huge dining table for group meals, games, and puzzles and the simple & spacious layout for letting the kids run around."

Lakefront-Private Cozy Cottage with Beautiful Views Directly on Lake Lure!

10/10 Excellent

"This place was absolutely perfect for us! We spent as much time outdoors as possible and never even felt the need to sit in the living room or turn on the TV. The covered deck was wonderful, even during the afternoon storms, and the private dock with steps into the water truly made the experience. We loved being able to fish, float, and enjoy the lake right from the property. The location is also fantastic, just minutes from great restaurants. We will definitely stay here again and are already looking forward to our next trip. Thank you, Judy, for sharing such a special home!"
