Guest Reviews
The Evening Shade doesn't exist anymore. It apparently was taken during hurricane Helene.
The fact that we had no where to stay once arriving.
We chose this place based purely on its location and hoped for the best. It didn’t wow us, but it didn’t disappoint. My biggest issue is that there was no one in the office for check in, our key was in an envelope with our names on it taped to the office door with a page of instructions, and we had to call the number on the instruction sheet to find out about things like the wifi only to be told that it was in “the notebook”. The notebook they referred to was buried in a basket that I had to dig around and find. The notebook had interesting information in it, like a page instructing us not to turn the a/c below 70° or it would freeze and we’d have no a/c. The dishes in the cabinet and drawer were not clean, guests are to wash, dry, and put dishes away and someone didn’t seem to understand what that means,
Great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views.
The cabins were charming. It was relaxing to sit outside by the brook
The space felt small but cozy.
The view from the balcony, and its proximity to the river is what sold us on the room. The sitting area along the river was really nice. There were chairs, a fire pit, two or three charcoal grills, and even a swing.
We got off to a rocky start when the key for my room would not unlock the door. We got there around 4 PM, found our key in an envelope taped to the door, and tried several times to open the door. Our neighbor even tried! I called the number listed, and the man who answered it acted as if I didn't know how to use a key. He said they were out to dinner, and he would be back in about 30 minutes or so. He came within the 30 minutes, and lo and behold, the door wouldn't open for him either! Finally, we got in and got unpacked. The room was very small, but adequate. The bed was very uncomfortable.
Location and view was perfect
WiFi and TV service could use improvement but to be fair it was like that every where in the area.
The stream on the property was beautiful.
The ceiling in our room was very low.
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.
We were looking for a place to stay one night in Chimney Rock area as we head back home. Loved the reviews from others about Evening Shade so we decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. Yvonne and Jim were so pleasant. They were running errands when I called but said they would hold the room until we arrived. I inquired about places to eat nearby. We tried the Lake house for dinner and Victory Restaurant for breakfast. Both were excellent recommendations. Our room was perfect. Small area but plenty big for us. We Loved it had a front and back porch. Parking in front of your room. Inside there was a small couch, side tables have lamps and plugs in for chargers, there is a small refrigerator, TV, bed, closet, and basic bathroom necessities. The room was Spotless!!!! The towels and sheets smelled amazing. I would love to know what they use as it smelled that good. The sheets were super soft and the comforter and decor was beautiful and welcoming. The bed was perfect. They also have creek and chimney rock views along with a view of Hickory Nut Falls. They have several fire pits near the water with chairs (folks please take out your trash. Sad to see what folks leave). There are picnic tables and swings for guests to enjoy down by the water. We loved it there so much we stayed another night.
