"We ate breakfast every morning on the back deck with our dog, Magnus. Trails galore to walk him on. The ones with rushing water beside them were so calming. After our walks, the hanging chairs on the front porch were a dream to hang out in with a cool drink and my Nintendo Switch.

"This was our first trip to 1927 Lake Lure Hotel but not the last I hope. Staff was excellent and so helpful. The room was very clean. The whole property is so pretty and the antiques are a very nice touch in the lobby as well as on every landing. The only thing I would add is to have restaurant open we would have rather to have eaten there. Hope to come back with my best friends for a girl trip soon. "

"My stay was for business purposes. I arrived late at night and left early. The room was clean and comfortable. Albeit the hotel was obviously an older one, the room was clean and everything worked fine. Both front desk clerks with whom I had interactions, were friendly and professional. I do have to say that, even though I arrived too late to use the pool, it was not only out of service, but also served as a large frog pond."
