This place is all about location. The rooms are about as good as a good Days Inn, so they are expensive for what you get.

My wife and I had a wonderful, peaceful relaxing time. This is a beautiful getaway. I highly recommend the elevated pot roast. The breakfast sausage is amazing. Very dog friendly.

View of the peaks was nice as well as the balcony, facility needs major upgrading, bathroom was needing thorough cleaning, rooms were very noisy to neighbors next door, charged my credit card when I had no additional purchases, shuttle to the peaks was pricey for the experience, dining experience was barely average and pricey, overall disappointing given we choose to spend our 50th wedding anniversary here having visited here 50 years ago on our honeymoon.

The property itself is absolutely beautiful. Grounds are pretty well kept and nice view of lake and Peaks of Otter. The bar area is very quaint with friendly staff. Dining room is also nice. The room we had was mediocre at best. It was under the bar area and very noisy until around 10PM. Also, little things like an extremely dirty vent in the bathroom and uncovered electrical box in the bedroom were kind of disappointing, especially considering the price of the room. Hot water in shower was just warm enough to shower comfortably.

The Peaks of Otter Lodge was very clean and the bathrooms, while small, have been updated. The king bed was very comfortable and the view from our second floor room balcony is so beautiful with Abbott Lake and the beautiful peaks to look at. The grounds of the lodge are very well maintained. We especially enjoyed the mile long walkway that goes around the entire lake. Its just a really nice and relaxing location. We will definitely go back in the future!

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.
