I honestly cannot say enough good things about the Grafton Lodge. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our room was spacious, clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Breakfasts cooked by Rich were amazing. Our morning chats with Kim and Rich were very nice and we appreciated their tips on local attractions. Check in was simple and easy and Kim was very thorough, even asking if we had any preferences for breakfast. Kim and Rich, your hospitality is impeccable. We can't wait to come back for another relaxing stay. Brad and Renae read more

We happened upon Grafton Lodge for a two night stay via a Trip Advisor review just before the 4th of July holiday weekend. It was a last minute stop on a long road trip and we felt lucky that they had a room for us. The Lodge is unpretentious but our room was very spacious and clean with updated bathroom, cozy linens and good wifi. It's a convenient distance to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Kim and Rich were gracious hosts. Rich made us yummy breakfasts and both were enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their community, restaurants and things to do. We would not hesitate to go back. read more

What a catch! I booked the Grafton Lodge without doing much research and we really lucked out. The Grafton is located right off the main road around Lake Lure. They were great at accommodating our late arrival and had the room ready and "fire" on for us on a chilly winter evening. The room was clean and comfortable. The best shower grout was sparkling clean (which is one of my tests for cleanliness). They have a great kitchen where they fix breakfast in the morning. Both owners were really nice. The breakfast?! Devine! The owner is a "retired" chef who treated us to carmelized bananas on waffles with fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream. Oh, and a slice of home cured Canadian bacon! Even the coffee was perfect. I'd come by just for the food if they had that option. Just make sure your GPS is set before arrival, your phone likely will have bad signal in the area. Don't worry, they have free WiFi which will boost your signal when you're staying there. read more

I was so pleased with our experience here! We came with family for a weekend of waterfall hunting, bbq eating, and Chimney Rock climbing. I really was blown away by the staff here. I forgot a razor and they hunted one down for me! We got to park right outside of our room and the accommodations were lovely - comfortable bed, clean bathroom...exactly what you need. We even had a fairly large TV in our room, even though we didn't really need it. The lodge is so close to town and don't even get me started on their breakfast - they bake all of the breads in the morning and they are scrumptious. We grabbed a small plate and ate on the front porch listening to the birds. I would definitely recommend a stay here and we will be back! read more

We stayed in the Hill House for a weekend getaway for our 25th anniversary. The weather was frigid when we arrived Friday night, but we opened the front door to find that the lights and the heat were left on for us. How nice is that? We loved the house, everything was perfect except for the showers. We were forgiving of the long wait for hot water, as it was below freezing outside. But the pressure was low on both showers, and both stalls were uncomfortably small for a big guy like me. Otherwise, I can't wait to come back when the weather allows for some exploring. Oh, and no WiFi could be an issue for some, we were fine without it. We had no cell service in town, but plenty on top of the mountain. read more

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. read more

It was very clean. The local area is great, near lake lure, chimney rock, biltmore and more. A couple things, it is not on the lake,,, not really even close, you couldn't walk there. The canoe they have is a few miles away. We stayed in the nuthatch cabin. It's on the smallish side but adequate. One bathroom. Small TV, 19" maybe. AC but only in living room, and very loud when running. The noise from the woods outside was amazing at night. Slept great. No where close to do laundry, bring extra clothes, or just don't wear any. Overall it was ok. Just doesn't have that appeal that makes you wanna come back year after year. read more

This place is the perfect getaway for those couples looking to relax and enjoy the scenery of Lake Lure. Located just parallel to the main road, it's quiet and beautifully set in the heart of the mountains. The owners Susan and Martyn were very accommodating and serve a quaint breakfast. We stayed in the Courtyard Room in the main lodge which worked perfectly for us, with a patio balcony right outside of our room. There are also several cabins to choose from, but were unfortunately already booked for the weekend. We didn't give them a whole lot of notice, but they gladly took us in. I will definitely be back. You can't beat the price for $89/night, which includes a continental breakfast and free access to their private boat dock, which is just a short drive away. This was the perfect vacation spot for a weekend getaway. We'll be back soon! read more

A lovely place to spend the night. The owners, Kim and Rich were very accommodating and sweet. The room #5 was spacious and the decor was beautiful. We were even served vegan pancakes made by Rich that were delicious before our hike to Chimney Rock. It was nice having a common kitchen at our disposal with well stocked teas, coffee and hot chocolate. Definitely recommend. read more

This lodge is wonderful! The rooms are cozy and welcoming. The owners have clearly spent some time making the place special for guests.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in for 1 night for a wedding at the Lake Lure Inn (which was more than double the price of the Grafton Lodge, and just 0.5 miles away!) and everything was great. The room was clean and quaint, the lodge itself was nice and quiet, and the proprietor was friendly and helpful. We stayed at the main lodge and there were several nice little sitting areas outside with various tables and chairs etc, just nice places to relax for a little bit. Would recommend to others and would stay here again. read more

I've been to Lake Lure several times, but this was my first time staying at the Grafton Lodge. Susan and Martyn were very gracious: they met me later in the evening for check-in and made sure that I would be able to have a good breakfast even with my early schedule. The breakfast was incredible: blueberry-orange waffles, real maple syrup, bacon, and fresh pressed fruit juice.The room was very cozy with a spacious bathroom. The lodge is quiet, and free parking is close to the room. My visit was perfect; I know where I will be coming on future trips! read more

We stayed at the "Acorn" cabin for the weekend and really loved it. Everything was very clean and plenty of room. The bed is big and comfortable and the tv works well - cable comes in like a charm. Kitchen had everything you would need for the most part, although we did get "take out" a lot so really didn't cook. The fridge is a large mini-fridge so really no freezer room and not a lot of fridge room, just fyi. The bathtub/jacuzzi works great. Only downside is the window unit is a little noisy but it's in the other room with the tv and sofa so it's not so noisy from the bedroom. read more
