A beautiful place to stay with beautiful views of Chimney Rock and more.

We were looking for a place to stay one night in Chimney Rock area as we head back home. Loved the reviews from others about Evening Shade so we decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. Yvonne and Jim were so pleasant. They were running errands when I called but said they would hold the room until we arrived. I inquired about places to eat nearby. We tried the Lake house for dinner and Victory Restaurant for breakfast. Both were excellent recommendations. Our room was perfect. Small area but plenty big for us. We Loved it had a front and back porch. Parking in front of your room. Inside there was a small couch, side tables have lamps and plugs in for chargers, there is a small refrigerator, TV, bed, closet, and basic bathroom necessities. The room was Spotless!!!! The towels and sheets smelled amazing. I would love to know what they use as it smelled that good. The sheets were super soft and the comforter and decor was beautiful and welcoming. The bed was perfect. They also have creek and chimney rock views along with a view of Hickory Nut Falls. They have several fire pits near the water with chairs (folks please take out your trash. Sad to see what folks leave). There are picnic tables and swings for guests to enjoy down by the water. We loved it there so much we stayed another night.

Not at all friendly

We stopped at this hotel because we were looking for a room for a week in the surrounding area, before arriving at the reception, we stopped for a few minutes to take a photo of the mountain, the owner then came to attack us, without a hello nor anything yelling at us that it was private property then seconds later her husband came too even though we were doing nothing wrong just stopped to take a photo before going to the lobby, so given their behavior and aggressiveness, we left without making the reservation because that is not the way to treat people.

New room look

We come here all the time and have been for the past 4 years multiple times a year. Man they have done some amazing renovations. From the new office look to the rooms. JUST WOW.. we get the same room each time and when I opened the door my jaw dropped. It looked totally different. We loved it before but now we are totally in love. Yall have got to check this place out. From the amazing Yvonne & Tim to the newly renovated rooms to the breathtaking views to the rumbling of the river to the fire pits to the fresh coffee each morning this was the best trip ever. Thank yall for making our home away from.home even better

Very disappointed with two-night stay

Our early October 2023 stay at Evening Shade was a big disappointment in several ways. Units are right on a busy main road, just feet off the road. Traffic and its noise are alarming and impossible to ignore. Cabin #4 has dark paneling and nothing about it is clean, new or welcoming. A/C unit is deafening and we had to sleep with our door open for cool night air. Shower wasn’t clean, showerhead was lower than our heads, and there was a mold-covered, rotten wooden window within the shower. Late at night our smoke alarm issued an ear piercing “low battery warning.” Management responded promptly, but it shouldn’t have happened. Significant leak from bathroom sink. Were told sink is cracked and replacement would take longer than our stay, so our bathroom trash pail stayed under the sink to collect what flowed out — with the leaking water splashing on our legs on its way into the pail. We brushed our teeth in the bathtub. Mattress was awful, one bed pillow each, overhead light in the room didn’t work, had to request a hairdryer — none in room. Closet was a dark cave in the wall. Don’t want to be unkind and don’t consider ourselves terribly fussy but there’s a lot of work needed to bring Evening Shade’s rooms to better, acceptable standards. Discussed lousy experience with management but a week later and no resolution. Is it close to Chimney Rock Park? Yes. Is there a pleasant river behind the property? Yes. Is self-service coffee set up outside the locked office at 7:30 am? Yes (no hot water for tea). But be aware of what the accommodations are like indoors. There’s rustic and then … .

Damp but not forgotten

This is a quaint little place, reasonably priced, The owners were friendly and polite. However, this is definitely not for someone over six feet tall. I had to walk crouched over to avoid striking my head. The room was small but musty from damp carpet caused by a small window air conditioner unable to keep up. I would hate to be here in the summer.

Excellent location
