We ended up checking out a couple of hours after arrival. The room was clean but needs a serious upgrade. There were a lot of dogs there and we were concerned we would not get any sleep overnight. The restaurant's buffet was empty when we went for dinner and the bar has minimal options. However, the scenery was absolutely beautiful!

Wait staff at the restaurant were very good. Reva is a sweetheart and does an excellent job.

Overall cleanliness at the lodge was good. One minor issue when we first checked in.

There does need to be more coordination between the on site staff and the company running the location. It sounded like the front staff did not have the answers for many questions from the people staying.

We love the site and have been staying there most years after spending our honeymoon there 51 years ago. We were joined this year by friends from Texas and they loved it.

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.

Our stay was less than satisfactory. The room smelled old and musty. There were multiple flies in the room when we checked in . There was one hand towel on the bed and it was damp. There were only tea and decaf coffee keurig cups. We did go to the front desk and were given 2 clean, dry hand towels as well as some caffeinated keurig cups. The restaurant was understaffed. The first day we waited 10 minute before a host even came to the host stand. Then had an hour wait to be seated. The waitress at lunch was wonderful though. Although the skillet cookie and berry crisp were both out of stock. We were told they’d be back for dinner, but they were both out AGAIN. For dinner we ordered out to take back to our room as the wait was 60-90 minutes. The food was cold and although we ordered ice cream with our chocolate torte, neither of us received the ice cream. Breakfast was ok - Holly kept forgetting things (honey for tea, more hot water and coffee). This is all for a one night stay. The property was beautiful but the price was overpriced.

We arrived for check-in ontime. After waiting for at least 30 minutes we were given keys to a room that was not cleaned after the prior guests left. I went back to wait in line, about 20 minutes, to ask for a clean room. While waiting for assistance I noticed the other guests waiting for clean rooms, and they had been waiting 4 hours for their room to be cleaned. I was given new keys to a \"clean\" room. The door to that room was locked with a deadbolt so I could not get in. At this point the front desk clerk offered several folks refunds so I decided to get my reservation refunded. I did not get the full refund and asked the front desk clerk why. She indicated to me that her supervisor had access to the full charges and she did not have that access herself. Her supervisor left her alone to manage the front desk. She promised me she would tell her manager my phone number and email to contact me to discuss a full refund. I have waited 5 days, no contact. Very upset and frustrated with this hotel. I recommend going to the Blue Ridge Mountains but stay in a town nearby not this hotel.

Probably the worst lodging experience I have ever experienced. Discovered upon arriving at the room that they had put us in a Pet Friendly room. I did not ask for a Pet Friendly room because I don’t have a pet, and more importantly because I all allergic to pet dander. When I returned to the front desk to ask about it, it was clear that they knew all along they were placing us in the wrong room. The desk clerk said, “yes, sorry but we can’t move you tonight.” There were no more than 20 cars in the parking lot! This lodge is on the Blue Ridge Parkway, in a very remote location in the mountains of VA. There are no restaurants on the parkway or nearby. We had traveled all day and were starving. Really looking forward to a nice relaxing dinner. We went into the restaurant at the lodge at 8:00. Every website or printed material about the restaurant stated they were open until 9. While waiting to be seated a server said, “we close at 8 on Sunday.” The posted hours said 9, the website said 9, the pamphlets and flyers said 9. The clerk said, “yeah, they should really change that on the website.” We were on top of a mountain with nothing around us at 8:30 on a Sunday night. We had not eaten since 7:00 am and there were no other options. Worse, we checked in at the front desk directly across from the restaurant at 7;00. The desk clerk never said a word about the restaurant closing at 8, And..,,, the coffee bar had no creamer or sugar, the room stayed too warm and stuffy all night

The Peaks of Otter hotel looked nice online, but it had a few flaws. First, the rooms were not very clean. It is not a new hotel and it is tatty, I think. The worst thing, though, was the buffet on Sunday night. This wasn't mentioned in the reviews I read online, as I wouldn't have gone to a buffet. Anyway, there were few choices: Fried chicken was the only main dish. There were green beans that had the oddest flavor, as if there were a rancid ingredient in them. The dessert table was just awful. In all, I wished that I hadn't eaten there. I would never, ever go back to the Peaks of Otter hotel.

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.

For the price, I felt that the breakfast buffet options were not much better, if not similar to the standard free complimentary fare one finds at hotels along the Interstate. Watery eggs, paper thin bacon, greasy sausage, cold pancakes, etc.. The Brunswick Stew was cold when served, my BLT was greasy, and the waffle fries were dry and over cooked. The room was indeed clean, with the exception of the dirty and stained wine glass, torn paper towel roll, and dirty paper cups found in the chest of drawers in one of the only drawers that could be opened.

The accommodations appeared clean but I question the carpet from the 70's as it did not feel like it was clean. It just gave me a feeling a very uncomfortable feeling due to how much it could hide. Also, as we left, I noticed our room was marked \"No Pets\" and we had a dog. This could be a serious problem for someone who is allergic. The rooms really need updating badly. I felt like I was camping in a cabin. I haven't stayed in a lodge or hotel with an outer screen door. The caulk around the tub was coming off and the grout was either missing or moldy. It was hard to tell. I can't say that I have ever seen a slot to put your razors in the tile, which didn't seem to have a way to empty if you did use it.

The property is beautiful and the staff are friendly. Being as secluded as it is, I wish there were more dining choices other than buffet or a better to go selection in case you arrive after the dining room is closed. I have a hard time believing this is a 3 star hotel. I have stayed in 2 star ones that have had more amenities. I do like that they are pet friendly and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. It is just the rooms that I had a problem with.

I have never had such an awful experience at a hotel in my life. The Peaks of Otter Hotel was completely unacceptable. Our room was infested with bed bugs AND fleas – an absolute health hazard. We woke up with multiple bites, and upon closer inspection, we saw the bugs crawling on the mattress and headboard. It was beyond disgusting.

When we reported the issue, the response from staff was shockingly inadequate. There was no urgency, no real apology, and no offer to compensate us for the horrible situation. To make matters worse, the staff was rude and awful to us when we asked about a refund, which is completely unacceptable given the circumstances. This level of negligence is inexcusable, especially for a property that charges these rates and claims to provide a quality experience.

For your own health and safety, avoid this hotel at all costs. I will be contacting the local health department to file a formal complaint because this is a serious sanitation problem. Do not risk bringing bed bugs or fleas home from this place.

Property Needs Improvement

We recently stayed at Peaks of Otter Lodge and had a very mixed experience. The setting is beautiful, and it’s a great place to disconnect and enjoy nature. The highlight of our stay was the Sharp Top shuttle ride—Dave made it such an enjoyable experience! Drinks at the bar were also wonderful, and the pricing on them was very reasonable.

However, for $250/night, we expected more from the room. It was very outdated, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and hard, and the air conditioner barely worked. There was no phone in the room, and it lacked basic amenities like a mini fridge or microwave, which should be standard at this price point. To top it off, we found a spider in the bathtub upon arrival.

The check-in process was slow with a long wait at the front desk just to get our room key. While we were at the lounge, there was a wedding party that made the space overwhelmingly loud, and it was hard to place a drink order with so many people crowding the bar.

This lodge has potential and the location is stunning, but the rooms and guest experience need updates to match the price.

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!

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.

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 property is clean and is in an amazing location!! 10/10 for location. However after the first night we stayed we got locked out of all three rooms. I had to run to the lodge to get new keys and it was pouring rain. When I got back to the hotel we found out they took all our towels and soap. I had to once again run back to the lodge to get new ones. When I explained the situation the lady at the front desk was very understanding but said she didn’t know how it happened as they didn’t have a cleaner…so who cleaned my room? Nothing was stolen. But given the issues I personally had I more than likely will not be returning.

Best Mountain / lake View EVER!

The room was clean and the view is spectacular! Sharp Top Mtn and the Lake Abbott are the very best ! Coffee in the morning, on the porch is my favorite. At night the stars twinkle off the lake. The cool night breeze is really refreshing ! This is my “Happy Place!”
