"The Lantern Lodge was the perfect accommodation for my husband and I. Our road trip (over 3,000 miles) was coming to an end with Ashville our last stop before heading home to southern Georgia! Several things drew my attention to the “lodge”! We were looking for more than a hotel room, the nightly room charge was better than 90% of most hotels that we are loyal to, we wanted to stay in Ashville, and my maiden name is Lanter! We arrived about 45 minutes before check in. Waze got us to the check in location but it is poorly marked. The check in is at the restaurant that is currently closed. Pretty confusing, and could be better marked as the actual checkin location. Our room was not ready and that was okay with us. The young man that checked us in was very professional but certainly did not give off any warm fuzzy energy! When we went back to check in around 5:00, the woman that checked me in was also very professional but seemed in the edge of being put out! She did give good directions to our unit and It only got much better as we found our condo, located a luggage cart, loaded it and found our unit. I read good reviews and not so good (hard mattresses, outdated, not close to the pool) but we found our condo to be perfect for us! Although lacking a few amenities, staying for one night it was just fine! The mattress and pillows were heavenly, the bathroom excellently, technology for phones and television great, appreciated the washer/dryer very much! I highly recommend!"
