My Mom introduced me to the Chalet Club many years ago and we've delighted in returning on numerous occasions. In addition, I've introduced friends to the Chalet Club. I've usually stayed in the Lodge and enjoyed venturing downstairs for an early cup of Java right before breakfast. Breathtaking views, the Washburn's hospitality have made each visit more than memorable. My... more

I have just returned from my fourth visit to Chalet Club, and each visit makes me yearn to return for another. There are no signs directing guests to Chalet Club, and there is no sign identifying the inn once you arrive. Rather, it is more like arriving at the secluded mountain home of old friends from whom a special invitation... more

Basically, I felt as if I was the victim of the classic bait and switch; I was promised in writing one rate and charged another. I even had the old rate on my reservations in writing on an e-mail from them and they did not honor it. They reminded me that their web site plainly states that rates are subject... more

What can one say? We are extremely disappointed in some of the negative reviews posted about our operation. In all fairness…our society represents a broad scope of personal tastes and expectations. During the seventy plus years of The Chalet Club’s existence, the vast majority of guests has been, and continues to be very pleased with the accommodations and services. To...

Many years ago, before the birth of our first son, a family friend recommended The Chalet Club to us. Our family, including four sons, along with dear friends from Duke days who have three daughters, meet at the Chalet Club for summer family vacations. No question - from the serenity and staff TLC we built priceless memories for ourselves and... more

Thanks for the kind words and recognition Keels! We have enjoyed being your hosts for over thirty years, watching your children grow up, and celebrating the wonderful relationships that have evolved with you and the other members of The Chalet Club family. To all who have embraced that which we do, and have voiced their appreciation - along with constructive...

This is a quaint little place in the mouintains. It is not necessarly up to date, but the views/trails/help are great. Rather than being priced like a quaint little place in the mouintains it is priced like a four or five star resort. What a beautiful setting to waste with accomodations that are not maintained as they should be. The... more

When we arrived at the Chalet Club, it was if we took a large step back in time, perhaps forty years but I bet this place was spectacular back then. Unfortunately, other than required maintenance (heating and air, some appliances), few cosmetic and structural updates have been made. We stayed in one of the houses - all of which seemed... more

The Chalet Club is in one of the most scenic locations I know of in the southeastern US. The premise is wonderful...laid back, quiet, beautiful, hiking, swimming, horseback riding, boating, skiing, fishing, etc.--an old-fashioned, family-run mountain resort with many other mountain activities and sites to visit within short drives. Lake Lure is beautiful and the town of Chimney Rock is... more

We just had a fabulous stay at the Chalet Club. We decided to visit Lake Lure and booked the Chalet Club after reviewing their web site and reading the Trip Advisor reviews. The visit surpassed our expectations and we loved every minute of it. We stayed in the authentic log cabin (also know as the Honeymoon Cottage). The atmosphere is... more

Stop searching for the perfect mountain vacation spot for a family with kids. You will find it at The Chalet Club at Lake Lure. From its accommodating hosts to its quiet, charming rooms and spectacular location, the Chalet Club has it all in the midst of the most beautiful, dramatic mountain retreat area of North Carolina. The lodge was built... more

My wife and I are from NC and it was our first time visiting Lake Lure. The Chalet Club was a beautiful place to get away and relax. Bob, Anne and Brad were very hospitable and treated all the guests with great attention. They asked us how they could help with our activity for the day. We got the all... more
