This motel has been TOTALLY remodeled and the family has done an awesome job! The owners are very pleasant and have done most of the work themselves. The view from the back balcony is gorgeous. There's lots of nice seating areas outside too. I would highly recommend staying here . I will definitely return.

You won’t find a better property in chimney rock. They did a great job with the updates to the grounds and the rooms. The “backyard” is amazing. The only negative to come by is the $50 charge to check in early. $50 for a couple hours? If the room is ready, let the guests in! I know it’s policy and I get it. Lots of hotels try it, just pet peeve of mine when traveling. Again though, just an amazing spot!
