Beautiful location, hiking, away from the noise of cities. Great for nature lovers.
Glendacile, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay at the Peaks of Otter Lodge. The lodge may feel a little dated, but it is very clean and well looked after. Our room was comfortable, with a good bed and beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Dinner and breakfast at the lodge restaurant were both very tasty, with fresh food and generous portions. The staff were attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. It’s a unique and peaceful place to stay — especially if you want to enjoy the scenery of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Virginia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Glenn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Larry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is really a great weekend destination. Quaint and historic property with trails and nice lodge atmosphere.
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was attractive and comfortable. Absence of porch rockers is a negative. Outside of lodging buildings badly needs paint. Dining experience has declined dramatically from past experiences. Playing 80's Rock in the dining room is totally inappropriate for that lakeside setting ( and I like music but it's terrible the ambiance desired at the Peals ding room. Soft music or something like mountain dulcimer would be fitting). Waited 20 min for fresh chicken- 3 old wings were all that was available. Rolls were hard from sitting a long time. Experience could be so much more and cost creating that heightened experience would be recovered from increased business volume. Badly need visionary management team.

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.

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.

This is a great location right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Great walking path around Abbott Lake. The food in the red was good.
