Beautiful hotel full of history! I love historic places and this place definitely has a story!! I stayed in Baby's Bungalow and it was so cozy!!! Updated with tile, perfect size, convenient kitchenette, and a very comfy bed!!! They allowed pets so we felt right at home sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch watching the dogs play and looking at the beautiful lake!
Upon arriving the front desk staff was less than friendly. I asked a few questions about the history and was referred to a book for sale in the gift shop and given no other assistance.
Veranda (restaurant in the main hotel) was great!! We were the first to arrive and they turned on the fireplace for us and welcomed us with open arms. The decor was amazing and made me think of all that must have gone on here in the 1920's. Our waitress, Shae was top notch-she must have training in fine dining!!! VERY professional!!! Food was amazing I took her recommendation and ordered the tuna----ahhhh sooo good!!!
I also visited the spa only for a manicure and pedicure but I received great service. The spa is decorated beautifully and the staff is great. Ashley provided my services-she is very young but very professional and what a great head she has on her shoulders...we should see great things from her!!! I will most certainly go back and receive other services! I look forward to it!

WOW!!! What a find! We came across this place by accident when our booked reservation at another hotel didn't have handicap accessibility and they were able to accommodate us at a moment's notice. The lobby is grand! Full of history with antiques and photographs of bygone days everywhere. The young lady at the desk was very friendly and accommodating. The surroundings are breathtaking with the lake and the mountains and trees of all colors in all directions. There is a nice cafe next door to the hotel that served great breakfasts at a great price. The waitresses at the cafe were extremely friendly and very helpful. Overall, we had a very positive experience at Lake Lure and would recommend it to all those who want to step back in time!

We stayed at Johnny's Cabin as part of 'Deep South Honeymoon Road Trip' and being an avid Dirty Dancing fan, I decided to treat us. We were really lucky and were able to book with less than 24 hours notice. The cabin was pretty pricey but not excessive but was TOTALLY worth it! This cabin was absolutely beautiful and the bathroom left me speechless! I am a 'shower person' but even I couldn't pass up the opportunity for a chill-out in that bathroom! We couldn't afford to stay more than one night but that was all we needed for the 'Johnny's Cabin' experience.

Do not stay in the Beach Motor Lodge part of Lake Lure Inn. It is not what you think. If you have a room with a window you look at the parking lot. The rooms are very small, dark and dingy. Our AC didn't work! The TV was placed above one of the beds, so if you were that person and wanted to watch TV you got a soar neck. Very overpriced for what you get. Don't know if the actual Inn is any different.
