Fall birthday gathering
4 adult siblings gathered for one’s 60th bday. 1st time here and I loved it. Loved the rooms with the 2 doors and everyone gets the same view and a patio/balcony. Don’t know if it was the beds or mountain air but I slept great. Very crowded as there was a wedding on site that weekend which made the restaurant/bar service very slow and busy but I’m not gonna bash anyone for that. Could have had more than one bartender though. We ate dinner twice and breakfast buffet once and the food was very good. No fridge or microwave in room but we had coolers and had a little bday party in the room. It’s an older lodge but is updated with plenty of lighting and plugs(3 prong) so you can bring some of your own small appliances if you’re driving(fan, electric kettle….). Always had hot water in the shower. Walls a little flimsy so bring some earplugs We also had amazing weather and peak leaf season It is not a fancy 5 star place but I found it perfect for all of us

Pleasant Stay
Very relaxing and peaceful stay. Views from our balcony were spectacular. Service was lacking, due to staffing shortage, but all the staff there were extremely pleasant and helpful.

A Tranquil Mountain Escape – Peaks of Otter Lodge Delivers Beyond Expectations. Our stay at Peaks of Otter Lodge was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this serene retreat offers an unforgettable connection to nature with its unparalleled views and warm hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the calming ambiance of the picturesque surroundings—Lake Abbott shimmering in the distance, framed by the towering peaks. The lodge itself strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. Our room was cozy yet spacious, with a stunning lake view that we woke up to each morning. The private balcony allowed us to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere at all times. But what truly sets Peaks of Otter Lodge apart is its proximity to nature. From scenic hikes up Sharp Top Mountain to peaceful walks around the lake, the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains is always within reach. The lodge’s staff were more than happy to provide helpful tips on trails and nearby attractions, making sure we could explore to our hearts' content. For those seeking a peaceful getaway in the heart of nature, Peaks of Otter Lodge is a must. The quiet, serene atmosphere combined with the thoughtful touches throughout our stay left us feeling refreshed, recharged, and already eager to return. If you’re searching for a true mountain escape, this lodge should be at the top of your list.

I loved our stay here. Our second floor room had a private balcony overlooking the lake. Numerous hikes are in close proximity including a beautiful and very accessible one mile walk around the lake. Our room was very clean, well appointed, and roomy and bed covers soft & fluffy. We took our meals in the dining hall & overall I would rate food as average. We had a wonderful time & will definitely return.

I think the property is great but the place is way overpriced. I guess you are paying for location but I regularly stay at a national park on the Blue Ridge and pay much less. The food in the dining room is just okay.

Eeeek!
We had a relaxing stay. Room was adequate, king bed was comfy & the views were amazing. The food in dining room was delicious. We definitely would eat there again. Our last morning, there was a MOUSE in our room!!!!! We checked out quickly and won't pick this lodge again.

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
