This motel has been TOTALLY remodeled and the family has done an awesome job! The owners are very pleasant and have done most of the work themselves. The view from the back balcony is gorgeous. There's lots of nice seating areas outside too. I would highly recommend staying here . I will definitely return.

Nice place to stay in Chimney Rock Village

This is a remote hamlet. Mainly a summer destination. Very pretty and Chimney Rock Park is just down the street. The hotel is on the river and they have it set up so that you can relax in a lawn chair and watch the river and chill out. And you can grill if you want. The hotel itself is probably mid-60's but well maintained.

Beautiful spot! Outdoor area soooo nice! Clean, even though older. My only reason that may not come back is the mattress was just not for us. Very soft.
