This is a relaxing, family friendly location. We enjoyed the rocky beach area, the cold river water and so many places to sit and relax. Exactly as pictured and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We plan to stay again!

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.

Perfect lodge

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.

Great place

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.

Evening Shade is AMAZING! Thank you!

The Evening Shade hotel is amazing - we have now been a few times and each time it does not disappoint. The staff is friendly. The cabins are wonderful. The scenery is breattaking… it is truly our favorite spot in all of the Blue Ridge Mountains! Thank you to the wonderful owners, too! We love the Evening Shade!

Great little place. Just a bit dated.

This place was great. Parking was tight, but enough spaces available. Rooms were a bit dated and could use some general maintenance. Never met the front office staff, but check in and out was easy. The view made up for any problem we may have had!!

Our stay was amazing. You are transported back in time to this quaint, little, cabin like room and property. It is quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Property is right on the river. We sat by the river on the swing in the mornings. I sat on a rock reading a book for hours while listening to the sounds of the river. At night, we were able to make a fire and hang out with other guest at the fire pit.

Great little motel right in the ❤️ of Chimney Rock

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.
