Beautiful location! The hotel is old, but the bed was comfortable. The view from our little porch was outstanding. I would go back for that alone. The food in their dining room is mediocre.
The staff is friendly. Check in is smooth. The hotel's environment is very beautiful, and you can see the beautiful lake and Mountain from the room window. Room space is enough. Dinner is very good. Big parking area.
The property was above and beyond my expectations. The staff was friendly, professional and welcoming. We are already planning our next vacation to include another stay at the lodge.

Wonderful location for great hiking and peaceful environment.
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.
Peaks of Otter Lodge was very busy. But that was to be expected given it was peak leaf season. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The view of the lake was amazing. We dined in the bar. As season closing was coming up shortly, it seemed they were a little short staffed for the number of clients even in midweek. I think the weekends will be packed. The food was absolutely amazing though, so well worth any wait. It was also convenient, being right on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The dining and food service were excellent. All meals and the wait staff were wonderful and made us feel at home.
-Our room was not cleaned of pet hair on the floors before or during our stay. This concerned us since we mentioned is to the front desk after we checked in and nothing was done about the issue. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay.
Was our first time there. Beautiful setting! Very clean, great restaurant and the customer service was outstanding. Such a great gem on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Loved the history of the place,too. Would definitely visit again!!
