Lovely rustic hotel with fantastic views. Unfortunately we stayed when it was heavily raining so our views were limited, but it was a gorgeous setting and the restaurant was lovely for dinner and breakfast

This is a beautiful place to stay. The rooms were huge and had a beautiful view of the small lake. Soooo relaxing. Room was very clean and beds were comfy. The accommodations are a bit rustic but very clean and comfortable. The restaurant food for breakfast and dinner was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

The lodge overall is a nice place in a beautiful location. Unfortunately my room had a pretty serious mold problem in the ceiling rafters. For $200 a night I expect better!

Skip or bring your own breakfast.
It was all good. The evening Mill and the restaurant was very good. However, the breakfast the next morning was very poor. They offered nothing but a buffet and it was low quality. Definitely not worth the $15! Would have been better had they offered an à la cart menu even if the quality was poor.

A perfect place to stay traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway. Room was more than adequate, dinner was delightful, eggs at the breakfast buffet were a tad cold but the mugs of piping hot tea more than made up for it. But the main reason to stay is its right on the parkway with magnificent views of Sharp Top Mountain and Abbot Lake

If the rates weren’t overpriced I would have been satisfied with our accommodations, but at the price we paid, they were poor. We had a mouse visit our room while we were there. The restaurant there is also way overpriced for very average food. The shuttle service up Sharp Top Mountain was excellent and reasonably priced. The driver was great.
Beautiful views.

My (now) fiancé and I came to Peaks of Otter Lodge for a long weekend getaway and could not have been more pleased! Every staff member we encountered from front desk to the lounge to maintenance were friendly and helpful. The lodge is located in a serene getaway in the mountains so be prepared to put your phone down and enjoy nature. Worth noting that the expectation is you’re staying in a lodge. The rooms and linens are perfectly clean, but rooms are a bit old fashioned (we found this perfectly charming!) The restaurant onsite was delicious for dinner, we enjoyed the Butternut Squash soup and cavatappi pasta. Overall, highly recommend this stay and we’re already planning to go back!
