We had the best time here! Johnny’s cabin was so cool! Huge beautifully carved 4 poster king bed, nice jacuzzi and a cool bar area. The lake was drained so we explored the lake bottom which was super cool. It’s right next to a bunch of good restaurants and more importantly Chimney Rock. Do yourself a favor and book Johnny’s cabin!

My husband and I got married here last weekend and could not have asked for a better wedding! It was absolutely perfect! The staff are easily the best part of this Inn! They are all so welcoming, nice, and accommodating. They are all very talented and knowledgeable. They were so sweet and helped make sure everything ran so smoothly. The venue spaces are absolutely stunning and well decorated! Our guests are still raving about the dinner they were served which is from their events menu. In addition, having the Moose and Goose Lounge there was absolutely perfect for guests to visit if they wanted a drink or a small bite to eat during their stay. We rented out a cabin and were very impressed with how comfortable it was! They have thought of everything and there are lots of little things that really make the experience special such as nice robes, makeup remover, etc. Thank you all for making our day so wonderful! Best place for a wedding or a weekend get away!

Officiating a wedding at Lake Lure Inn and Spa was nothing short of breathtaking! They still have the ambiance of Christmas with the Christmas trees glowing in early January which almost felt cinematic. The venue offers an incredible variety of backdrops! So much fun for activities! From the antique staircase to the beautifully decorated fireplace. Everything was impeccably clean and thoughtfully designed, with tons of ample parking, a spacious reception hall that easily accommodates large celebrations indoors, outdoors, and plenty of room for dining, dancing, and joyful moments in between. The staff was warm, chef was generous, organized, and genuinely wonderful to watch. Any couple who chooses this venue is going to be ecstatic—it’s an unforgettable setting and absolutely worth every penny. Maybe I'll see you there!

If you are a bride looking to have a wedding at Inn on Lake Lure, you are in for a serene and timeless experience surrounded by the quiet beauty of the mountains and the water. It is the kind of place where the pace slows down, allowing you to fully soak in every romantic moment of your day against a backdrop of breathtaking natural scenery. We are wedding videographers and we just finished filming a stunning wedding here. This location is a wedding videographer’s dream. The natural light reflecting off the lake creates a soft, ethereal glow that is perfect for film, and the rustic yet refined architecture of the Inn offers a warm, inviting character. Whether it’s the sweeping views of the Blue Ridge foothills or the quiet lakeside paths, every corner of this property provides a picturesque setting for capturing memories. It was also such a pleasure working with all the other vendors on-site. Everyone was incredibly nice, professional, and easy to work with, which made the entire experience wonderful. We absolutely love filming at Inn on Lake Lure. — Molly, M&P Weddings and Films.

We could not have imagined a more perfect place to host our wedding than the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa. From start to finish, the experience was truly exceptional. The setting itself is breathtaking—timeless, romantic, and full of charm—but what truly sets this venue apart is the staff. Every single person went above and beyond to make our wedding day flawless. Sonya's attention to detail, professionalism and genuine care made us feel completely supported and stress-free throughout the entire process. Matthew prepared the perfect prime rib! Megan anticipated our needs and handled everything seamlessly. Laura, Chrissy, and Julie made both us and our guests feel so special and well taken care of. Everything was perfect—from the ceremony to the reception and every moment in between. Our guests are still raving about the venue, the prime rib, and the overall experience. We will forever be grateful for the memories created at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn! Joe & Michelle Hunter

Beautiful historical inn. The room was huge with an amazing jacuzzi and an extremely comfortable bed. It was also equipped with a mini fridge and microwave. Only complaint is we did have some lady bugs in our room. The complimentary breakfast offers a large selection including Belgian waffles, bagels, and cereal. We would absolutely stay here again.

too cute. ive come to chimney rock village countless times throughout the years. ive always wanted to stay in this hotel, but i usually do day trips. i finally found the time to spend a night here and it was so pretty. the view was lovely, the staff members were very friendly and helpful, it's close to the village and state park entrance. the rooms were clean and a nice size, they smelled nice too. the inside of the hotel was decorated nicely and maintained very well.
