Fantastic location
Amazing location, overlooking the lake and peak. The rooms were basic and tired, but clean and great value for money - fine for us passing through for a night. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Took my 99 year old Mom and my granddaughter to peaks of otter Lodge for an overnight. The granddaughter and I wanted to climb the peak. When we checked in, we got the exact room we needed. They had already reserved us a handicapped room and we had access to an elevator to go to the room that was actually in the main lodge. The area was right there too. Graciously allowed a late check out so my mom could stay in the room while we did our hike. When you stay at the Lodge, you have to understand that it is an old property and you’re not gonna get five star accommodations because it is what it is, but it was clean and the beds were comfortable , and they added a rollaway for my granddaughter. If you wanted to relaxing enjoyable time sitting by the lake and hiking around the lake, this is the place. If you’re very adventurous try to climb.

A bit like a step back in time. Just how you would hope to find an older mountain inn. Full service with wonderful views and lots of outdoor options. We hope to come back soon.

Great getaway
My husband and I were engaged here, and we recently came back to celebrate our engagement anniversary. The staff then and now were very helpful and friendly, and our room was clean and comfortable. They also make efforts to be more eco friendly. Also also, the scenery around the property is GORGEOUS. I definitely recommend!

Locked out till after 1 a.m.
We stayed here as a break in our trip to VA Beach. The place is dated, but nice. We rode our Harley and this was in a beautiful area. We went out to eat, came back and sat by the pond for a while. Around 11 pm we were unable to access our room. Had to walk to the front and ask for help. Tired and frustrated we sat on the sidewalk till after 1 a.m. the girl at the desk tried her best, but couldnt get help. She opened the door to the nearest room and gained access through our patio door. There are no excuses for this kind of trouble. The girl tried, but the property service model is not designed to help after dark. They said they would request a 50% discount from hotels.com. It is not about the money. I will never stay here again. I would rather stay in town, where i know i can get in my room, and drive the parkway from there.
