The Spotlight on Lambuth Inn

Tranquil Lakeside Escape with Concert Access


Lambuth Inn is a peaceful, historic hotel nestled in the scenic surroundings of Lake Junaluska. With its classic charm, manicured gardens, and views of the mountains, this inn offers a relaxing retreat just a short drive from the energy of Asheville’s live music scene and Harrah’s Casino. The property balances old-world character with modern comforts like free WiFi, a seasonal outdoor pool, and a 24-hour front desk.

Why Concert-goers love it


Concert-goers appreciate Lambuth Inn for its quiet atmosphere after a night out and its proximity to popular venues in Asheville and Cherokee, both within a 30 to 45-minute drive. The late 4:00 AM check-out is a rare perk for those needing extra recovery time after a big show. With free parking and on-site amenities like a fitness center and outdoor spaces, it’s easy to unwind pre- or post-concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a peaceful base between shows
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist and wanting a safe, scenic stay
  • Couples making a weekend of it in the mountains
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans seeking value and comfort

Food and Drink Options


While Lambuth Inn doesn’t have a full-service restaurant on-site, there are local eateries within a short drive in Waynesville and Asheville. The shared lounge is a great spot to relax with snacks, and there are vending machines available. For late-night cravings, nearby drive-ins and diners stay open past concert hours.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself is more of a serene escape, the area gives you easy access to Asheville’s vibrant nightlife—think live music bars, local breweries, and lounges. If you’re heading to Harrah’s Casino, you’ll find drinks, gaming, and entertainment just 23 miles away.

What People Say

  • Guests love the historic charm and peaceful setting overlooking the lake
  • Many say it has a welcoming, retreat-like vibe that’s great after a loud night out
  • Families and groups appreciate the spacious rooms and clean facilities
  • Highly rated for its friendly staff and scenic grounds

Areas for Improvement


This isn’t the place for party vibes or modern nightlife on-site—some might find it a bit too quiet if they’re looking to keep the energy going after a concert. Also, food options are limited on-site, so it’s best to plan meals ahead or explore nearby towns.

The Bottom Line


If you want a quiet, scenic spot to recharge after a show—without breaking the bank—Lambuth Inn is a solid pick.

this was a stressful unsettling...

Liked: the scenery was beautiful
Disliked: the outdated outlets that didn’t work had shorts in the outlet didn’t provide comfort or charging your phone or using bedside lamp. the window in the room stayed cracked open at the bottom no maintenance to fix it on the weekend they put a towel in the window little flying bugs everywhere inside the room because of the window not shutting and the screen so outdated it’s tore. our room wasn’t available when we got to the hotel was t ready till about 1 hr and half after check in made it inconvenient i have a special needs son and drove a long way . the front desk also told us no more events were going on but there were more things going on free even that night of check in and was told everything here was done the night before . i complained to the manager once i was told by the bus drivers that every guest can attend the saturday concert free she told me to go to the even them told me i could not then told me i could have a free extra night that’s what i asked to make it right but then said it’s not free another false hope and mistrust i had to pay for all the lies that i was told and for my unhappy vacation and alll i kept getting was excuses why they can’t make it right because it’s a outside event cost or something they just didn’t want to have to pay anything to make me happy make sure they get something out of it .
