The facilty is beautiful. The grounds are surrounded by a high class golf course. The weather was not good and we had a hard time getting to the resort and lost a day, but when we arrived they had set us up to pick up our check-in packet and that was done very professionally. When we reached our condo, it was well appointed with all the things to make our stay comfortable. It was very quiet in February. The rooms are comfortable and we had a fireplace that was quite romantic. We hiked around the grounds, and did some local hikes near Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park. Using the jetted tub was wonderful and relaxing. Thanks for a great stay.

The condo was spatial and the views were amazing. Victory Kitchen, a local restaurant nearby, was an amazing place to have breakfast the day we arrived, and Joy, the waitress who waited on us, was awesome. The staff was unavailable, unfriendly and unwilling to help. Condo had spiders, a hole in one of the doors to the master bedroom, cobwebs, porches that were all moldy and one porch had rotten wood that was weak and could have caused a serious accident on one of the balconies no. Condo had a smell and appeared like it had not been occupied in awhile. There were old rusty appliances in the condo that looked like they hadn’t been used in years. Same with the porch furniture (rusted, worn and old). The TV in the master bedroom was a Sanyo and the remote was a Phillips—-the TV couldn’t be watched or controlled with the mismatched remote. The power and internet “mysteriously” went out our third and final day there with no real explanation. It was pitch black outside afterwards and it was out for hours. We had flashlights and gathered in one room to wait out the power outage. It was around 2 or 3 am. It was ONLY the power to our condo that lost power. The power came back on around 8:45 am. The cleaning people came around 6:30 am and threw a bag of supplies against the front door, startling us and making it sound like someone was trying to break into the place. One of the gate entrance keepers asked me AFTER I showed ID what was my name AGAIN, how long was I staying and what was my cottage number. He wrote it down, as if my ID and room key weren’t proof enough. I found that totally inappropriate. The power went out after that. He and it was very weird. Staff was weird in general, like when Laney and Brian at the “Welcome Center” told us they didn’t recommend we buy day passes for the jacuzzi and spa, and Capri telling us there were no more slots for massages the day we went to the spa, but then added us to a same day waiting list afterwards, as if she would fit us in. The staff discouraged my family who didn’t look like them from using any of their limited facilities.

Fox Run Resort is a very pleasant, quiet and convenient place for vacationing in the Asheville area. Positioned on Lake Lure, it has a wonderful view of it and the surrounding mountains. If you're golfer, theres two courses lined by townhomes, rental condos, and Bald Mt. We came off-season when amenities like restaurants and the outdoor pool were closed, but the wellness center with its fitness room, sauna, hot tub, and inside pool, plus outdoor putt-putt and tennis courts were still available. We enjoy hiking and and came here for that reason. We found Fox Run to be a great home base for our outings. Chimney Rock SP and the town by the same name is just a half hour up the road. The town is rebuilding from Hurricane Helena over a year ago, but has a couple of great restaurants, an ice cream shop, candy gift shops open for business. Catawba Falls is just 40 minutes west near Old Fort. And then the Biltmore & Asheville just another 20 minutes further down interstate 40. Young's Mt Trail and Weed Patch Mt. Tr were just a few minutes outside the entrance of the resort. We liked our detached unit that came with a full kitchen, large rooms and front door parking. Staff were all friendly and helpful. We really had a lovely stay.
