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.

Great place. Clean attractive though a bit small. Need to know if you want double room it’s on the back lawn area and not very easy for elderly

This motel is a fine choice for the area. My only quibble is that daily maid service is not provided. This was a big disappointment to my wife and myself.
3-night trip

10/10

You won’t find a better property in chimney rock. They did a great job with the updates to the grounds and the rooms. The “backyard” is amazing. The only negative to come by is the $50 charge to check in early. $50 for a couple hours? If the room is ready, let the guests in! I know it’s policy and I get it. Lots of hotels try it, just pet peeve of mine when traveling. Again though, just an amazing spot!

Loved the Carter Lodge in Chimney Rock, NC. It is clean, quiet, and newly renovated with very friendly staff and a great location. We could see Chimney rock and the river from our balcony. In walking distance to the town which had great restaurants and stores. Only two things I didn’t like and nothing big, need black out curtains on window facing the road due to outside lights and lower shower curtain to keep floor from getting wet. Other than that it was great!! We will definitely go back.

The manager Ms. Linda was so kind and attentive. The property is so beautiful and peaceful, with the river running right behind it! I was there to have alone time to deal with death in my family! The tranquil surroundings gave me just what I needed to renew myself. I plan to return often now that I know about this quaint and tranqil place.The view of the mountain outside my room was also amazing! Ms. Linda thank you!

This was a quick weekend getaway and i couldn't have ask for anymore.Family owned and operated,Mrs.Carter checked me in and let me know she was there if we needed anything during our stay.This is an older hotel,as they all are in the Chimney Rock area,but was immaculate.The views of the river and the mountains from the rear of this property are amazing.We very much enjoyed sitting in the swing late afternoon and early morning just soaking up the peace and quiet.Was only about 4-5 min walk into town for restaurants and everything else the downtown area has to offer.Just cant say enough good things about this place and looking forward to another stay very soon
