The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had a rear deck that that overlooked the beautiful Broad River with a view of Chimney State Park.

Loved this place. Bed was super awesome. Big and comfy. If I could live there I would 😊 Loved the little balcony on room 8 with the water sounds.
Laurie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room is very…cozy…and you can tell it’s an old building. That said, the beds were comfy, room very clean, and the balcony was awesome…so relaxing to listen to the river and the birds. Staff very friendly and accommodating too. Old school mountain charm…I’d stay again!
Andrea, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy check in/check out. Small property on the river with outside seating on porch outside of every room. Very cozy with comfy bed. Internet was very spotty, but not surprised in the mountain area. Would definitely stay there again.
Sharon, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Okay for a one night stay. Facility needs a little updating. Beautiful location on the Rocky Broad River. We saw a huge black bear across the river from our balcony. Overall good experience here.
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very rustic, but quaint! Comfortable and clean. Old motor hotel well maintained. Being riverside is a plus and the sound of the rushing water was relaxing. If you’re looking for plush and posh, this is not for you, but if you can appreciate the charm and rustic feel as to how this motel fits into its environment, then it is for you.
Victor, 1-night trip

Dirty Room

The stay was just ok. Too many dead bugs throughout the room. Under the bed was filthy.
Ryan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was a lot smaller than it looks online. Barely enough space for 2 people.
Tena, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Walls are paper thin and our neighbors left their tv on all night which was behind our head. We tried sleeping the other way but we could still hear it. We could hear everything they said and every foot step they took. Could you post a note in the rooms that the next room can hear everything and to be polite?
gerald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great family trip! Riverside was a cute and comfortable little inn. The staff was great and we loved our room. We had a balcony which had a great view of the river. So peaceful. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants. I’m heartbroken for this community. So sad this little gem is gone. When they get up and running again we will definitely be back. One of my favorite towns in NC.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice spot by the creek. The view from the balcony was great and peaceful. The one complaint is the walls are really thin, so you can hear everything. If you have kids, they may have a hard time sleeping at first until the tvs go off. Other than that, really nice stay!
Cody, 1-night trip

Nice, clean, beautiful view, close to everything.

Beautiful Scenery

The hotel is located right on the river. You can hear and see it from your room. Very serene and quiet. The room was cozy and comfortable. We were right down the street from the village and Chimney Rock Park. The hotel had parking on the premises and really loved their contactless checkin via text message. We did not have to worry about time we arrived- very helpful. Only had 2 issues with this establishment. The wood floors in our room were not very clean, cause our socks got dirty after walking around. The other issue was we had NO HOT WATER that night or the next morning and had to take COLD Showers! The management told us they were having it repaired but would not be fixed til after we left. I don’t fault them for the repair issue, but they did not even offer any kind of discount for the room, just apologized

Absolutely loved almost everything about this lodge- great location, friendly staff, clean, on the river, etc. The only thing not making this perfect is that unfortunately I am a light sleeper and the loud air conditioning unit kept me up. Probably not an issue to most people and not likely to be in the 90s most of the time like it was when I stayed. Besides this I would highly recommend!
Tami, 1-night trip

We will return

This place is Heaven!! The view from balcony couldn't be beat. It was a shared balcony but long enough that it didn't matter. We will be back and will stay in the same room. The mattress was so comfortable. The room was a little small but we spent most of time either on balcony or sight seeing. I wish I knew the lady's name that checked us in and we talked to many times. She works the afternoon shift. She is so sweet. 4 days was not long enough. The only issue we had (but didn't report it) was the last morning we had no hot water. Hoping to make this a yearly vacation and will stay in the same room (#10). Also we enjoyed playing in the river and tubing. We miss the sound of the river as well.

Secret Treasures!

So peaceful! Can't wait to visit again! I wish the balcony door had a screen door so you could leave the door open so you can enjoy the sound of the river flowing all night!
