Peaks of Otter Lodge has a beautiful property on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is comfortable (great king mattress) and cleans, shows some signs of aging, but perhaps that is part of the charm. The walls are concrete, so it was quiet at night. EVERY ROOM in lodges 1 and 2 have a view of the lake! The A/C was great! There are some hikes, including an option to purchase a shuttle ride up Sharp Top Mountain to walk up to the summit (steep stairs, a little tricky!) .The restaurant has a magnificent view, and the dinner prices were very reasonable. However, there was confusion over the breakfast menu, because they just switched to breakfast buffet only, and no customers and a few employees did not know about it. Another mix-up was that we were given room keys to a room someone was staying in- my husband went in and found items there! They did find us another room and comped us meal vouchers. I would definitely stay there again to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and the convenience to the Parkway!

We loved the setting and view from our deck. The food in the restaurant was very disappointing. For the cost, we expected a superior meal. They wouldn't even give us a piece of bread with our meal. We will definitely not eat there again on our next visit.

Property is clean but dated. Dinner was good with reasonable prices. Breakfast was not worth the price. The Holiday Inn Express free breakfast is much better. The orange juice was watered down, the toast was cold, the jelly selection was minimal, the grits were tasted blan, the scrambled eggs were plentiful and the bacon was either over cooked and some under cooked.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The view was amazing, unfortunately that's the only good thing I can say about this place. It is old and dilapidated, it was maybe remodeled 40-50 years ago. The shower gel and shampoo containers in the bathroom were empty. We had a king room but they only gave us one washcloth. The furniture was ancient and should have been replaced years ago and the carpet was filthy. No microwave or refrigerator. When we walked in the room there was a strange, musty smell that we attributed to it probably being closed up for a while. But about 11pm we were laying in bed watching TV when i looked up and saw what appeared to be black mold on the wall near the ceiling. I took pictures of it. We complained to the front desk the next morning. The lady had my partner hold while she talked to the manager, who said we should have come to the desk when we saw the mold. Really?? At 11pm when we had our PJ's on? My partner asked to speak to the manager and was refused. I have stayed at the Pisgah Inn before which is similar to this lodge but much, much cleaner and updated. This was the worst room I have ever stayed in for almost $200.

The staff was awesome, friendly and helpful. The location and scenery couldn't be any better. Only problem, and i understand because it is an old hotel, is rooms are pretty dated, and microwave in room would have helped for coffee getting cold. Although a little pricey in my opinion the friendliness of staff alone would make you want to come back.

Peaks of Otter Lodge really stood out for us on our roadtrip. The most notable feature is easily the scenery and seclusion of it. All rooms overlook the lake and the ability to walk out and immediately have views of the lake and peaks surrounding it is really special. The complex sits on its own surrounded by greenery without other buildings around. We were really charmed by it, felt instantly relaxed, and even thought it might make a good stop on a honeymoon! A leisurely walk around the lake takes no longer than 20 minutes. The setup is US 'motel' style: three units of two stories arranged alongside ample parking with communal ice machines. The bathrooms in particular were showing their age a bit. I found this to be characterful / charming more than off-putting but the shower head was a bit rusted and impossible to adjust and ventilation was just achieved through opening a window rather than an extractor fan. The main room was more recently decorated and spacious but the floor didn't seem to be completely clean so I deducted a star for that. These are relatively minor and we'd still absolutely stay again. We didn't dine in the restaurant so can't comment on that.

The stay at The Peaks of Otter this weekend was incredible! It was really refreshing to see the beauty of God's creation all around. So peaceful, tranquil, and beautiful everywhere I went. The service was spot on, the food was really good, and the people were really friendly. I would recommend The Peaks to anyone!

The rooms were very comfortable. I've been wanting to stay here for a couple years now. However I didn't realize due to the proximity of mother's Day the restaurant ran out of food the first night of my stay which prompted us to have to drive to town to find a place to eat. However I would book it again as I enjoy the area
