Hickory Falls Inn

"A Must Stay!!! I rented the apartment here and it was Home away from Home! I rented it to just get away for the weekend. The owner and staff are so kind! We spent 4 days here. It is absolutely Gorgeous!! I have stayed at other places but Hickory Falls Inn gives you an experience of a lifetime when it comes to down home country mountain living or just to Get Away from everything. The check in and out is Self Service which is amazingly convenient, a guest closet if you are to need anything and a lounge just to relax! I did have an issue with my bedroom TV the last day we were there but the Manager and Owner were not hesitant about contacting me ASAP. They both contacted me personally which was awesome! I have T-Mobile so the phone signal is hit and miss at times but that is to be expected in the mountains and we had a storm while there but you do have good reception inside and outside of the room. I loved seeing the rain from our window and porch! The apartment was very clean and had everything you needed for a perfect weekend! There’s the town to your left which has stores and places to eat! Constantly hearing the water as it flows down the river is Amazing and our view from the room was Spectacular! We walked out of our door and there is the mountain with the waterfall! It’s a must see in person and only at Hickory Falls Inn. This trip meant so much to me. My dad unfortunately passed away in September of last year. The place he wanted to go was the mountains when he got better but he didn’t get to go so I went and I said Dad, this is for you!! The stay at Hickory Falls Inn has been one for my books that’s for sure! I will definitely be staying here a lot more often throughout the year! Even if it’s not vacation if you need to just get away from the world, this is your place and you will not have any regrets!! Thank you Bridgett and Zandra for making our stay so wonderful and peaceful ☺️"

"We stayed for two nights. The location was superb and very near to lake lure and chimney rock. The room was clean and cozy. It has self checkin and checkout option which is very unique. Highly recommended"

"I checked in late on a cold December evening to find that my room did not have any heat, because it was so late I couldn’t get a hold of anybody. I slept in my car the next day I wanted to take a shower, and only a small trickle of water came out of the faucet just enough for an ant to maybe take a sponge bath in. If you were looking for the experience of squatting, you have come to the right place. If you want heat and a shower, you will have to go somewhere else."

"My fiancé and I have stayed here a couple times now, and this will now be our go to spot when we visit the area. The Inn is self check in and service, which made me a little nervous at first but the owner is so dedicated to ensuring it all goes smooth. The rooms are clean and very cozy, all updated and modern. I liked that we were able to go get extra linens or coffee whenever we wanted instead of having to wait on staff. They even had binoculars in the room so we could look at the waterfall and mountains. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend!!"

"We booked a family deluxe room at this self-service hotel having both a king bed and a twin. It was the cheapest option in town and I was pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. It was obvious that the people over the hotel are dedicated to its upkeep- it was a beautiful room. I didn't expect the twin bed to be a top bunk with chairs underneath for seating. My 2 year old enjoyed his night on the ceiling despite multiple bonks on the head and him asking for a drill so he could "make a big hole up here". The bed wass comfortable and the bathroom was large enough but there is not a fan and it gets humid. I planned to crack the window but then saw all the bugs on the other side drawn to the light (it was nighttime) and thought better of it so adding a screen may be a good idea. There is a nice view of the waterfall from the front and it's not far away from town but it is on the fringes and there aren't any sidewalks to get there (however there is a wide grassy shoulder that makes walking safe enough if you opt for that). Parking was available which after visiting the village of Chimney Rock, I see how valuable that is as space is limited. There was a storage closet that allowed you to pick up whatever you may have forgotten to pack including a pack and play, razors, toothbrush kits, and of course refills for the items provided in the room. There is a lobby that contains lots of games and some refreshments and a fenced in dog lot for if you are travelling with a pup. I loved the text-based check-in system and having a room code instead of a key card- it made everything so simple."
