We love this place for the peaceful, quiet stay. Beautiful scenery, restaurant food was good, the menu is small, but everything was delicious. There's a paved path around the lake for a stroll, bird sounds and a close encounter with a deer!

Tucked into the mountains and overlooking a small lake, this is a very special place to stay. It's perfect if you want to continue your national park experience overnight, but prefer a very comfy bed over a tent. I can't recall the last time I encountered such warm, welcoming staff. They helped make this a very memorable part of our travels and we hope to return soon.

Peaks of Otter is a very special lodge off the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s a great place for a family with Adirondack chairs by a beautiful pond and an easy walking trail. The rooms and restaurant have biews of the pond as well.

Similar to other National Parks lodging, this one is antiquated. The room is badly in need of updating. No mini fridge and the only place to get food in the area is the lodge's own restaurant that is reasonably priced but below average. The room was damp and smelled bad. The only plusses to this hotel are the truly attentive, abundant and kind staff, and the beautiful location and grounds

Love this area!! They are very limited in staff for dining & housekeeping. Be prepared to wait, be out of menu items, persist in getting towels, rooms not ready after you walk in to them. But the waitress, bartenders are wonderful yet stretched thin

We liked our stay. The blinds did not go up and because some strings were frayed and there was a bit of mold in the bathroom. They view was wonderful and we saw lots of deer. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. People that work there are supper friendly.

I truly appreciate the Lodge and understand that there are probably financial constraints that prevent renovation or remodeling: the National Parks system is AMAZING and the lodges are in beautiful locations and affordable. Peaks of Otter is a lovely, accessible location. But the air conditioner was very old and very loud, and the blinds didn't work because the cords were broken. Aside from that, everything was wonderful: inexpensive dining and lodging in a beautiful location. Thank you!

We had three nights at Peaks of Otter Lodge. We loved the nostalgic feel to the lodge. Rooms aren't fancy here. But very clean. And the view from every room is stunning. The grounds were well manicured. Such a peaceful place. The restaurant staff was wonderful. The food was delicious. We are so glad we chose this beautiful place to celebrate our 45th anniversary.

Very nice place to stay if you’re looking for a little mountain getaway! The views itself makes this little treasure well worth it. The staff were outstandingly kind and helpful during our stay. The rooms themselves remind me of camping lodges, but that honestly just adds to the outdoorsy feeling. The food was good too. Now the road closures weren’t my favorite so plan accordingly as it took us an extra hour to get there lol. Overall, would totally come back!

We had a very quick overnight stay, and did arrive fairly late. Even though we had contacted the hotel that we were coming, we still had to wait a good 10 minutes for any staff member to check us in. The hotel rooms were dated but clean. The location is BEAUTIFUL. Overall it worked fine for what my family needed for the evening..
