Peaks of Otter Lodge

Had not stayed at Peaks of Otter for several years. Our stay was enjoyable. Everyone was friendly, courteous, and extra communicative. Truly a pleasurable experience.

Beautiful setting and area. For the high room rate, too bad the rooms don't have a bit more rustic lodge feeling. They really need a bit of sprucing up. Since there is no cell coverage there, the internet connection needs improvement. Very nice dining room and food. The staff are quite helpful and friendly.

I love the ambiance

We truly enjoyed our stay at Peaks of Otter Lodge. We had a slight bump with someone having been in our room, but that was fixed after it was reported (staff shortage that day). The room was cozy, the restaurant food was tasty (breakfast was buffet only until the crowds kicked in later for July. There's a cute little gift shop there with some local things (the blackberry jam was really good!). You can take a little walk around the lake or sit out by a fire to see more of Sharp Mountain. There is also an inexpensive trip part way up, where you can get off of the van and hike the rest of the way up (or hike from the bottom) to see a beautiful view! It was such a convenient location, since we decided to drive through the Blue Ridge. Check ahead for road closures that may force you another way to the lodge.

Great Lake view!

Check in fine went to room ac clean filter light on ac cover on floor but was fixed quickly . Next day took shower tub very slow drain tub filled with water told front desk said would have someone that day to fix did not. Was disappointed on Sunday dining room only had buffet no menu orders. Overall I enjoyed my stay quite and peaceful did wish they had more than one fire pit and was shut off to early for guests in my opinion.

The Lodge offers simple rooms with comfortable beds and an awesome view of Abbott Lake and nearby mountains. Staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurant was quite good and super convenient. Don’t miss the walk around the lake, which is paved and accessible. It’s a great pre- or post-dinner stroll and we enjoyed it. Excellent stop while taking in the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway! Highly recommend!

The room had cobwebs, tv didn’t work because the remote was missing, no wifi in rooms, and the staff wasn’t helpful. Overpriced!

We'll be back

Beautiful setting. Food was above average for the price. The room we had felt like a basement, Damp smelling.
