Top Clearwater Creek Hotel Reviews

The Shaded Crest (Adults Only 21+)

10/10 Excellent

"As many other reviews have stated, the Shaded Crest is a real gem of a place with wonderful hosts. The cabin was perfect for our stay both inside and out with the other facilities including the pool and spa which were welcome in very hot weather. Everything was spotless and the hosts were not just very welcoming helpful but passed on some great advice for our onward travel. The only downside is that we only had one night there!"

Lakefront cabin at Lake Lure with grill, boathouse, dock & porch

8/10 Good

"The house itself was wonderful. Large dining room and living room. Great windows to look at the lake. Clean and well kept. Easy to find and close to everything. One thing we did not see and would have been nice to know was that there're no stairs to the lower level where 4 of the beds are from the inside. The only way to get to them was from the outside. We also knew there were stairs down to the lake, but did not realize there was about 6 flights of steps down. It was fine for my husband and I, but not for my parents who are older. We would stay again, just maybe with a different group."

The Riverside Lodge at Chimney Rock

8/10 Good

"Nice clean room. The private balcony had a great view and was really cool in the early morning but it was too hot to use the rest of the day while we were there...temps in the 90's. We love this area and had previously stayed at The Evening Shade a few times and next door at Carters Lodge. We were really sad that one is gone and the other boarded up. We were very happy to see what businesses were open and of coarse the view from the Chimney. If the weather had been a bit cooler our stay would have been perfect. Riverside Lodge is small but a nice stay."

Fox Run at Lake Lure

8/10 Good

"This property did not disappoint!!! The villa we were in had everything we needed, and was very spacious. Our party had 6 adults and there were plenty enough beds and room for all of us. They have so many things for families to enjoy indoors and outdoor. We will definitely be booking again in the future. If you like to golf this is definitely a place to stay. Beautiful greenways."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Clearwater Creek?

The best time to visit Clearwater Creek is during the autumn months, from September to November, for pleasant weather and beautiful foliage, or in late spring, between April and May, for outdoor activities before the peak summer heat.

Autumn is particularly appealing for those who appreciate cooler temperatures and the natural beauty of changing leaves. The air is crisp, making it ideal for hiking and exploring the area's many trails without the humidity of summer. This period also often features local harvest festivals and events, offering a taste of regional culture.

Late spring offers warm, comfortable weather, great for outdoor adventures like kayaking on Clearwater Creek itself or exploring the nearby Appalachian Trail access points. The flora is in full bloom, and the wildlife is often more active. It's a great time for couples seeking a romantic getaway with opportunities for scenic drives and picnics.

While summer can be warm and humid, it's also a popular time for families due to school holidays, with plenty of opportunities for water sports and swimming.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Clearwater Creek hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Clearwater Creek hotel?

Hotel prices in Clearwater Creek often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
