Grafton Lodge

Lake Lure - 800 yards from beach

A recently renovated bed and breakfast in Lake Lure, Grafton Lodge offers outdoor fireplace, private parking and sports facilities. The property features mountain and garden views, and is less than 1 km from Lake Lure Beach. The bed and breakfast also offers facilities for disabled guests. We stayed in a pet-friendly room. Plenty of space for our dog to be with us and easy access to the outside. The room was clean, cozy, and well enough appointed to make you feel pampered. Comfortably bed. Clean, recently refreshed bathroom. They have several gathering places outside including a nice outdoor fireplace with lots of seating - hot logs on a cool night. Breakfast was certainly first class - Rich is a great chef. Kim is an informed host with the skinny on activities, restaurants, and what all. The lodge is on a quiet road close to everything - an easy walk to the beach and park area of Lake Lure. Top your day off with a home-baked cookie made fresh everyday.

We walked a little in a circle the first day trying to figure things out but our little walk was still enjoyable. Needed a table for 8 one night, I got to walk down to the restaurant, add my name to the waitlist, and wait for the table to be ready in the comforts of “home”.
