The is place was absolutely perfection for the weekend. It was quiet, cozy, and comfortable. Hot shower is always an added bonus. The room we were in was impeccably clean and comfortable. Walkable to Lake Lure if you want! Kim & Rich are the best hosts and make great coffee! They are both knowledgeable about the area and happy to point you in the right direction. Perfect for a couples weekend! Can’t wait to visit again ❤️Rooms: Beautiful and cozy! Obviously a lot of love has been put into these rooms. Love having a balcony and drink coffee on or being able to open a private door for fresh air.Nearby activities: Lake Lure… need I say more?Safety: The area is quiet and felt very safe.Walkability: A 7 minute walk to Lake Lure!Food & drinks: Plenty of places to eat and drink near by. A few breweries and lots of places to dine outside by the river.

This place is a hidden gem. Booked very easily with the owner, and when we got there, absolutely blown away. The lodge is tucked away in the mountains with a few minute drive to town with restaurants and shopping. The rooms were absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast was scheduled in rounds and prepared fresh every day with produce and groceries from local markets and farms. Kim and Rich, thank you so much for your hospitality. We will definitely be coming back!

My wife and I recently stayed for a couple nights at the Grafton lodge. We were very happy with the whole experience. The room we stayed in was comfortable, and clean. The hosts were nice and helpful, we will be returning for Holliday again ASAP !Fellow travelers, the lake town does close a bit on the early side,, and some businesses are not open Mon to Sun. Thus we recommend doing some research on the area, and plan accordingly. Cheers to Rich and Kim for making our time fun and rememberal!!!Hope to see you both again soon.Rooms: WI-Fi provided, in rooms, cell service spotty at bestAnd that is for the whole lake lure area, also our GPS went jumpy a couple times getting there. We just stayed the course and everything was fine.Walkability: Easy drive or walk to the little town, next time we will bike or walk, parking can be tough. There is a pay to park lot that is only $5.00 per day as of writing. Not sure if this fluctuates with season or not .Food & drinks: Great micro brew pub with outdoor area to sit and relax, owner and bartender were friendly and welcoming, and the beverages were delicious! 🍺

A lovely unique bed and breakfast! Within walking distance to the lake and shops and restaurants. The owners are very attentive without being fussy. The breakfast is absolutely wonderful, but the shared deck and outdoor fireplace all stocked is just the best! Everything you could want in a rustic lodge with breakfast. We will definitely come back again!

The room is perfect, you can't hear your neighbors. Water temperature in the shower is superb 👌. There a small gardens throughout thr property that you can sit and relax in as well as it is located 7 mins from the very bustling chimney village and closer to the lake lure beach. The owners are knowledgeable and kind and help provide directions as well as seriously helpful tips (especially if you go exploring and hiking). The breakfast is phenomenal. The chef (one of the oweners) used to have his own restaurants and now can spoil travelers with his delicious food. I personally have always hated French toast by oh my goodness, I tried his French toast here and honestly could have eaten more. The water is delicious 😋. Tastes much fresher than anything I've drank from the kitchen sink or refrigerator and you can drink the water from your sink here, it's that good and pure tasting. 10/10 location, management, atmosphere, breakfast, and all-around relaxing and refreshing location.Food & drinks: Breakfast is delicious and included in the stay as well as coffee, oj & tea

My amazing experience started before I even arrived. I booked this place on Booking.com and apparently was overcharged. I received a text message from Kimberly immediately letting me know this and that she was working to fix it. I would’ve never known! As it came closer to our arrival date she touched base with me to make sure everything was perfect before arrival. I have never stayed at a bed-and-breakfast before so I was very excited. When we pulled up it had such charm. A cute little breakfast room that was available until 8 PM each night in case we wanted any coffee or tea or homemade cookies! The room was much larger than I expected so that was a nice surprise. The bed was extremely comfortable as well. The details in the room did not go unnoticed such as tissue by the bedside, a nightlight in the bathroom, etc… The simple things that you don’t think about but they do. The breakfasts were amazing and such a cool experience. The property was serene and offered enough to where I could have stayed there the entire time and been perfectly happy. Me and my children absolutely loved this place and I plan to go back. If I could give it more than five stars I would!

We absolutely loved our stay here and them having pet friendly rooms was such a plus. The pet fee is cheaper than most places charge so that was a good bonus. Our room was so spacious and clean, the property was quiet, cozy, well maintained and even included board games in their covered seating area. The breakfast room was open until 8pm; perfect for an afternoon cup of coffee, water, ice or even a homemade cookie. The homemade breakfast everyday was absolutely delicious!The beach and some restaurants were only a 10 minute walk down a private street which made for a lovely sunset walk. Chimney Rock was only a 5-7 minute drive.

We were here for my cousin’s wedding. What a place! So scenic, pristine, cozy. The bridal cottage was just perfect. The bride room was beautiful. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the cutlery. We loved the experience, we enjoyed the wedding and stay. The hosts were wonderful people, the breakfast was sumptuous, delicious, finger licking delectable. We even celebrated 4th of July! Ingles is close to get all your groceries. Just a word of warning, internet is non existent here and there’s WiFi inside the cottage but it’s weak too.

Richard & Kim are kind and attentive, we had so much fun getting to know them and the other guest a bit. The cottage where we stayed is large and clean included a full and well equipped kitchen where my wife and I made dinner each night. We highly recommend it as, even though it’s a bit more expensive than the other rooms you can save in the long run vs eating out each meal. The breakfast each day were unique and far better than anything we would ever make for ourselves. I also enjoyed the touch of the blues music playing in the background as we ate and Kim being conversational and constantly attentive to our needs through each meal. We will certainly be back and recommend others as well. Thanks y’all!

My girlfriend and I stayed here a couple weeks ago, this was our first Bed & Breakfast experience, it was amazing! The owners were very nice and provided great hospitality! They prepared an amazing breakfast for us in the morning, they also left access for us to the kitchen for the day until 8:30pm. There was an outdoor lounge area to smoke cigars and enjoy a nice fore from the outdoor wood burning fireplace, the bed was amazingly comfortable, and the room was super clean! I highly recommend this place and want to come back again!

This is my 1st 100% rating ever on anything. Kimberly and Rich were absolutely amazing from the second I called to book our stay to the very last wave goodbye for now. Our room was spotless, comfortable and just the right amount of space. The breakfast each morning was delicious and Rich's creations will keep you thinking "what's for breakfast tomorrow ". Can't thank them enough for being such amazing hosts. We will definitely see you again soon. And I think I owe Rich a dinner 😆

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying this weekend at Grafton Lodge and it was amazing! Kim and Rich, the new proprietors, are fantastic and made our stay truly memorable. Our room was very nicely appointed and you could not ask for a better location, just minutes from Lake Lure and Chimney Rock and 20 minutes from Hendersonville. The breakfasts each morning were delicious, homemade casseroles and omelets and Kim and Rich really made us feel at home.Great work guys, we cannot wait until our next trip to Lake Lure so we can once again enjoy the wonderful hospitality of the Grafton Lodge. I strongly recommend this great jam to anyone who is visiting the area, you will not be disappointed.

Great little spot which served our purpose well for a weekend get-away.... a very comfortable atmosphere and convenient to the things we wanted to do.. horse back riding, zip lines, a visit to Chimney Rock state park, etc.Rich and Kim were great people, easy to talk to, very personable. Sitting downstairs having breakfast ( Good food by the way) felt more like catching up with old friends as opposed to getting to know strangers. Would definitely stay again.

Booked the lodge for my wedding guests. It was absolutely perfect. The owners were fabulous, accommodating and made sure everyone was happy. Every single guest talked about the wonderful sleep they had in the amazing beds and the 5 star breakfast. Loved everything about the place and the owners. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

We just spent the weekend and we were blown away by the cleanliness of the room, the owner's hospitality, and the tranquility of the property. The lodge is situated amongst the trees and located in close proximity to the shops in the center of town, Chimney Rock, and the lake. Breakfast was absolutely delicious! We can't wait to go back and stay again to explore more of the area.

This place is a hidden gem. If you don't mind your escape bed and breakfast style ...this is the place to go in Lake Lure. Walking distance to the beach, market, great for dogs - a very dog friendly place and less than 10 mins drive to lake house restaurants and bars. Enjoy the mountain view views, a cozy roof deck and ground level with a great fireplace deck. Will come back. Thanks

We spent five nights here mid-August, 2018 and absolutely loved it! Kim and Rich are great inn keepers and will meet your expectations. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, breakfast was over the top every day, the covered BBQ area is very nice to sit and relax and drink your morning coffee. They also will give you tons of local things to do and explore. I even did zip lining for the very first time! Everything about Grafton was excellent. I would highly recommend it.

My girlfriend and I are currently staying here. We couldn’t be more happy , the room is spotless the bedding is clean and as soft as ever! Shower was an A+ and the owners are some of the nicest and most attentive people we have encountered on our trip. I appreciate their dedication to their business and would recommend staying here to anyone at all!

The owners Rich & Kim are a lovely couple who painstakingly pay attention to details. We arrived VERY late, well after everyone was in bed, but they made sure we were able to find the place and get to our room. The room was peacefully inviting and refreshingly fragrant - the linens smelled like lavender. Every morning, Rich (a former chef) short-order cooked an amazing breakfast! We are gluten-free and sugar-free - he accommodated us deliciously and very creatively. They advised us on places to visit AND offered savings coupons for several of the places. It was a relaxing getaway and we can't WAIT to visit again!
