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.

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 fabulous stay at Peaks of Otter Lodge. It’s a great place, but what made it better was the front desk person, Emma. We stayed there during a 7 day Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway bike ride. She actually called me while I was in the middle of a 12 mile uphill to see if we’d need anything when we arrived. When we met at the desk she was welcoming and gave us local knowledge about roads, trails, etc. and was a delight to talk to. She was able to help us with specific requests which made our travels so much easier. Restaurant and bar service and food really good.

The staff were great and the views amazing, but the actual accommodations were not good. The walls are thin and we heard everything in the rooms beside and above us. The wifi does not work in the rooms which we were told has been a problem "for years" and there is no cellphone service.

This is a beautiful property and we have stayed here once before. Overall the staff was very nice and helpful. We were not happy with the check in procedure. The app says 3pm check in. Their actual check in is at 4 pm. As we waited patiently in the lobby for almost an hour we were a little surprised when a couple came in at 3:50 pm and were checked in. No acknowledgment that we were there first or any interaction until we made the effort to get checked in. Even so , we highly recommend this property!
