We stayed in Bear's Lair for a week, and it was the most relaxing vacation I have had in years! The house was ideal for a large group - the kids had a floor to themselves complete with bunk beds and a rec room. There were three other bedrooms, an office, and two living rooms as well; the bathrooms were... more

Overall our stay was pleasant and relaxing. True - the room was small and pretty cramped with a King size bed, but at least the bed was comfortable. The rooms are what they are - 80+ years old with plaster walls; there's not much they can do about the size and still keep the history, character and charm of the... more

While on Vacation we ran across this place on a recomendation of several Locals. It is a small family owned business, that much to our surprise has the best pizza we had ever eaten. The staff were friendly and the owner was very helpful and accomadating. We eat out alot as we travel and this is by far the best... more

Lovely location right on the lake front - fun to watch boats come and go as we enjoyed a wonderful meal. Service was very attentive and professional. They have an extensive wine list but I don't know anything about wines. The food was very good with a good salad to begin and nice sides. more

This restaurant overlooks Lake Lure in what seems to be the middle of the town. During our visit helicopters were flying water to a nearby fire, not an everyday occurance but added to the excitement of dinner. Service was friendly and the food was quite good. Definitely a family friendly place with an outdoor covered patio area too. more

Wonderful place for a romantic getaway - the lodge is set up above the lake with wonderful views. Kathy, the general manager, was very friendly and had great information about local places. We booked a garden view room and it was very comfortable, well equipped and supplied bathroom too. Afternoon tea and evening cocktails are provided in addition to a... more

My husband and I just returned from a side trip from Asheville to Lake Lure 08/03. It was an especially hot day and we were anxiously waiting to cool off swimming in Lake Lure after hiking at Chimney Rock. The beach looks very nice. It cost us $6.00 a person to enter the beach. After putting our towels down we... more

The resort itself is just beautiful and the service on the resort itself was great, but the log home was horrible. There were loads of things to do. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking. We rented a pontoon and cruised Lake Lure, along with some fishing. We went to Chimney Rock Park (breath taking) which was only 30 minutes and the... more

My husband and I just returned from a stay at the Lake Lure Inn. We were there to attend a wedding and as I was in it we had to stay 2 nights. We had a very disappointing stay several years back but thought we would give it another try as we had heard there had been some renovations. I... more

AVOID .this place.....unless you have some pathological need to "follow the rules." Upon arrival, we decided to overlook the cat hair, rampant yard weeds, stuffy bedroom and kitchy decor... We were spending a weekend visiting our adult daughter, an inner city teacher who was enjoying the summer in the lovely foothills of the Smokey Mountains. On Sunday morning, our daughter... more

If you are a couple and are looking for a bed and breakfast that will be beyond unforgettable, and with owners that are some of nicest people you'll ever meet, go to Linne Ardan!! Aaron and Linda, and let's not forget Katie.....are absolutely wonderful. This was our 11th wedding anniversary and I was trying to find something different and very... more

We enjoyed our planned two night stay so much that we extended a third night. Everything about our time at the Inn was perfect including the accomodations, the great breakfasts served and the friendliness of our host's, Linda and Aaron. The servings of Banana's Foster and Strawberry Shortcake as a late night snack were a real unexpecteded treat. We highly... more

I spent my honeymoon in one of the townhouses on Maple Lane. The bad: I thought the website was terrible -- my MIL booked the trip for me but I had no idea where I was staying until check in. I sent THREE emails to the email address on the website with lots of details ,asking where I was staying,... more

If you like scenery and peace and quiet this is the place to go. We just came back from Lake Lure in North Carolina and had a great time. The resort itself was okay, but the scenery was great! We stayed in Fox Run Resort as we have a timeshare and wanted to see Lake Lure. We were at the... more

Aaron and Linda provided a wonderfully relaxing experience for our fifteenth wedding anniversary getaway. Their attention to detail led to flawless service and fantastic food (not to mention generous conversation). The wooded location seems secluded even though it is a short drive from numerous restaurants and diversions. The exposed log interior of the MacGregor Room and easy access to screenless... more

We booked our week via Interval International using a trade from our "home resort" of Swallowtail (Hilton Head Island.) Fox Run may be an older property; however, our particular unit (# 14) had recently been refurbished and was in excellent condition. The on site activities (golf, pools, beach, boating) were great and there is free wireless net access in the... more

We found this hotel by chance and the room was small but different, The staff were very helpfull and the whole experience very nice. Pool area was excellent and very clean. Did not eat at the hotel,but at a resturant up the hill,highly recomend. more

WE loved the service we got from the staff. The manager Steve let us extend our check out time to 5pm. They also let us have a Lake house for 2 days that rents for 6 days. There are a lot of activities and the place is just beautiful. The rates for were priced good for families. We will go... more

We just visited Lake Lure for a long weekend trip with my 2 young boys. We were pleasantly surprised since we had never been before. The lake and senery are beautiful. I recommend the boat tour when you get there. We also rented a pontoon boat which we really enjoyed as well. I was surprised how close Chimney Rock was,... more
