The cutest little place right in chimney rock. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The room was super cozy and clean with a nice balcony and view of the river.
Owners were super nice and accommodating. Room was quaint for just 2 nights, not a lot of moving around room. The bathroom did its job, towels were soft and plenty, even had makeup towels and complementary essentials. Just some mold up the walls and on the ceiling, there was no fan in there. The river was the nicest addition to the stay. Since the room was small, it was nice to sit out on the rocker or go down on the rocks and watch the river. The downtown tourist area is a minute down the road. It is such a nice spot we would definitely consider coming back.
What a lovely and charming property!! The view out the back porch was tranquil. I was surprised we had such a nice mountain and river view! The room itself is adorable, clean, and has a homey feel. The owners are very kind and accommodating, and the coffee out front in the morning was great! We had a wonderful two-night stay, and we look forward to staying again! The ceilings are a bit low, but we are 5’6 and 5’9 and did just fine! Thank you again for looking up firework information for us!
I have mixed feelings about this place. The location was ok. I LOVED the creek behind the place and I would stay here again just because of that. I LOVED seating on the porch looking at chimney rock also while listening to the creek and birds. Ok I love nature and the back of this place did it for me. The property itself is fine, BUT only bcz I’m 5’2. I could touch the ceiling and my arm wasn’t even fully extended. Anyone over 5’6 would have to dock. No coffee in the room, but they do provide coffee in the front office.
I was met in reception by someone who barked at me like I was trespassing. I took the key went to the room, looked around and went straight back to reception handed back the key and left. Very disappointing.
The Evening Shade hotel is amazing - we have now been a few times and each time it does not disappoint. The staff is friendly. The cabins are wonderful. The scenery is breattaking… it is truly our favorite spot in all of the Blue Ridge Mountains! Thank you to the wonderful owners, too! We love the Evening Shade!
This is a relaxing, family friendly location. We enjoyed the rocky beach area, the cold river water and so many places to sit and relax. Exactly as pictured and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We plan to stay again!
