Holiday Inn Express & Suites Marion by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Na"

Piney Knob Cabin 15 Min To Lake Lure - 30 Min To Tiec - Hot Tub - Stocked Pond

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at the cabin! It was very peaceful. We enjoyed looking in the creek for small creatures. Our dog enjoyed swimming in the creek as well! The hot tub was lovely in the evenings! We made some easy meals at the house and also had dinner in Lake Lure one night. It was nice to get out of the city for a weekend!"

The Firehouse Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay 🍓❤️🍓 Staff was incredible. Enjoyed the location and small town charm. Super close to Earl Scruggs festival."

10/10 Excellent

"An absolute 5-star mountain getaway! The views are unmatched and the home is beautifully stocked, clean, and superbly maintained. Our multi-generational group (ages 7 to 85) had an incredible time. It’s wonderfully accommodating for neurodivergent guests (ADD/autism), offering cozy nook opportunities for quiet privacy without feeling isolated.The outdoor spaces are fantastic, with an all- weather porch picnic area, a pavilion with a grill, and a safe, easy-to-use fire pit with firewood provided. Working with the host was seamlessly fast.We stayed the weekend before my son and daughter-in-law's wedding, and it was the perfect peaceful space to prepare ourselves and calm any pre-event nerves. We decided we had to come back for another stay just minutes after arriving. I highly recommend it!When reserving I kept thinking that the reviews had to be too good to be true. It lived up to all the reviews and surpassed my expectations."
