The Grafton Lodge, and particularly suite #6, exceeded our expectations. The property was well maintained and manicured, and our suite was unbelievable. It was beautiful, well furnished and decorated, and very clean. But most important, the King bed was very comfortable...we slept like babies.

This lodge is so comfortable, clean and renovated. The owners have provided everything that other hotels do not such as wine glasses and corkscrew, full length mirror and magnified mirror, overhead shower that’s also a jet spray, small refrigerator, and access to kitchen with homemade cookies, tea, coffee and candy. The grounds are charming with lots of spices for just relaxing. Our bed was very comfortable and room renovated and very clean.

We had steady communication about our arrival and stay throughout the day that we were traveling. Our room was ready and spotless with a welcoming fire going. It should be noted that pets are not allowed in the breakfast room, but we were accommodated every morning with tray service that we took to our room. Very comfortable bed and seemingly unlimited hot water in the nicely appointed bathroom. Kim & Rich have thought of everything and provide a lovely B & B in a peaceful quiet setting. The outdoor fireplace is cozy with comfortable seating and lighting, there are snacks and coffee/tea available most of the day. Very enjoyable stay!

Rich made a fabulous breakfast for me after assessing my likes/dislikes and any food allergies. I will definitely return and let my friends know about this gem.

We had a wonderful stay at the Grafton Lodge. The owners, Kim and Rich made us feel like guests in their home rather than lodgers. We didn't have an itinerary for the weekend, but they were happy to recommend restaurants and things to do. The breakfast was second to none! I definitely recommend the Grafton for those looking for a quaint option within walking distance to Lake Lure.

This was a beautiful bed and breakfast that was perfectly located for our needs. Far enough away from the main sprawl of Chimney rock to not be busy, but close enough that is was less than a 5 minute car ride with stunning views. The owners are extremely friendly, helpful, outgoing, and all around good folks. I highly recommend you book with them. Check them out on facebook for more information!
