Quaint lodge on the Broad River, just below Chimney Mountain. Open the windows and let the sounds of the Broad River lull you to sleep. Wake up with coffee and enjoy the view and sounds. We will definitely stay there again if in the area.

I really enjoy staying at Evening Shade. This was my 4th visit over the past few years. I love that you can sit beside the river. They have picnic tables, wood for a campfire.

The absolute best view and park like setting we were craving on our adventure. The room was not our main attraction which was probably a good thing. Couldn’t get tv to work or wifi. Small space. But we were there to be outside.

We went for a small girls trip weekend. The views were amazing. The river sounded wonderful, and it was within walking distance to downtown. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Evening Shade. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a balcony overlooking the river and with a view of Chimney Rock. They had grills and picnic tables that we would have used if weather had been permitting. The room we stayed in even had a little kitchen with all amenities. We will definitely be back in the spring to enjoy all the amenities.

We payed for a double room with a balcony view. They ended up downgrading us to a single room and we ended up paying the same price. Kind of a smack in the face for us on our honeymoon.

With rating of 9.2, we were excited about staying but did not expect how misleading this way. When we got there, the couple was very friendly. Check-in was fine. When we went to the room: TV would not work. Internet would not work. Air conditioner and heater would not work. I went to the front office and found they had left so I called them. They said that they would be back in about few hours and would walk us through the steps to getting the TV to work. We found dirty socks in the closet and used bar of soap in the shower. It was late so we couldn't go anywhere else so who knows if the sheets were even changed. One of the chairs in the room was broken. When the agent came, he kept messing with TV and couldn't get it to work so he went and got another TV and got it to work. Told me the internet was spotty but should have no problems. It took me 30 min from one page to another...I finally gave up. The overhead light fixture would not come on...he yanked it and said it was broke and he couldn't fix for this visit. Room was very small. Very disappointing.

The view and location of the river was awesome. The proximity of the shops was great. It was just a few things that could’ve been improved in the apartment itself. When I walked across the floor barefoot my feet were dirty, like they had not mopped the floor / lvp. The Faucet in the bathroom needs an aerator. Could’ve used a couple of night stands. Beds are fairly soft, which is not good for my back but my wife loved it. Recommend having one soft mattress and one stiff. Internet was not good very spotty and no USB connections for charging. We enjoyed our stay overall.

Although it was a quaint, very tiny room. The window air conditioner, leaked onto the carpet, it was musty, smelling, and damp. My husband could not stand up in the room without hitting his head on the ceiling. He’s 6’3” tall. The shower is was so small. I had to crouch to wash my face. This was not a place for children, or the elderly since walking down to the river, was unsteady and dangerous.

Very quiet, friendly place. The river was beautiful. The only issue wasn’t from the place itself, whether it was someone parking in our spot even though there was a sign stating parking for our room only.

The view off the porch of our room was relaxing. You could see down to the river, and up to Chimney Rock.

For $$$ a night, you should be able to stand without hitting your head & shower without getting on your knees. Could not sit on deck, overrun with carpenter ants, spider's, web's, sand fleas, & horse flies. We left in the middle of the night to drive home. Why? There is a motion light inside the room, for outside use. The bed was built for Hobbit's & every time we moved, the beacon light from hell turned on. Could not sit by the water, were overwhelmed by horse flies & sand fleas. Property is not kept up.

The images can be a bit misleading as they appear quite larger in the pictures than they do in person. I reserved two rooms and had no issues parking and getting to my rooms. However, the lodge was much smaller than anticipated with little space to move around. I tried to shower at night but was unable to get the water to start running. There was no one to contact as I had no service in the area. The nearby fire pit area was lovely (but quite dangerous, especially for little ones). I was not aware there was a quiet policy from 10pm to 8am so this might be something to consider if you’re traveling with infants. Otherwise, it was peaceful and a unique stay!

It was SMALL. There were 4 adults and we were under the assumption that there would be room to set up a cot. There wasn’t any room to do so. The bathroom was SMALL. We were there for 3 nights and never got any clean towels. We never saw any housekeepers to ask for any. It was ok to sleep but that’s about it. The back of the property was beautiful with the river passing through. Probably wouldn’t stay there again.

Very comfortable stay. Loved the kitchen. It had everything we needed to prepare most of our meals at the property. Chimney Rock was very cute, cute shops and nice restaurants as well as nice tourist attractions. My daughter and I enjoyed swinging by the river at the property one evening while my husband made supper. The road noise was more than I anticipated, but after the first night, we were used to it. Would stay again.

It had a beautiful view of the river, & Chimney rock. It was quiet the only thing I didn’t like about it is my boyfriend is 6 foot six and the ceilings in the room or too low for him he had to walk slumped over & The shower was too small and so was the toilet for him

The staff was incredibly warm and kind. It felt as if we were working with family. From check in until check out, they were both absolutely wonderful. The condition of the room could be improved. When booking a room, be sure to fully understand the nuances of the rooms and if it fits the needs of your family. The scenery is hard to beat from the balcony! The perfectly places benches and picnic tables are great for taking in the river’s beauty.

Rooms are not insulated and was quite warm during the daytime. Window air conditioner could not keep up. We left a day early due to the warm room. The owner called me and asked why we left early. She then offered us a free nights stay this fall after it cools down. Management was very nice to us. We will take her up on it in November.

It was so awful that we left a day early, even though it was non refundable. We had no hot water, only Roku tv, and the Wi-Fi was so bad we couldn’t use our prime video, Netflix or tv provider to get any other service. There was no hot water! The ceiling in our room was so low that you couldn’t raise your arm. The room was musty and damp and smelled like urine. When we went to office at 6pm to request something it was closed with a note on the door to come back later. Truly an overall terrible experience the only positive was the location, close to everything and the grounds were lovely by the River, but ver difficult to access from our unit. No stars!
