Hotel was okay. Nothing more. It would help if the lake had paddleboats etc.

Thank you for your input. The lodge isn't fancy but the real beauty is on the outside. With every room facing Sharp Top mtn and Abbott Lake you couldn't ask for a more picturesque spot. There have been discussions with the park service regarding paddle board but disrupting the wildlife is a major concern. We are constantly adding on and improving services so we hope you will visit again.

Serene setting right off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Pros: The setting and food were stellar. The beds were clean and comfortable.
Cons: The bathroom could use some updating!
Location: Vistas and hiking!
We will definitely return to the Peaks of Otter. Very serene setting right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The staff were very nice and truly accommodating. We ate at the restaurant which was excellent!

We spent a wonderful, relaxing night at this delightful hotel on the superb Blue Ridge Parkway. It was so unique and such a change from the chain hotels we had used previously while travelling. Fantastic room, helpful staff full of character, superb, freshly cooked meals and silence!!! We loved the birdlife, surroundings and enjoyed lovely, sunny weather. If we ever return to the USA we want to revisit this paradise!

A great weekend stop

Pros: The hiking available so close. The AT runs through this area and accessible in several nearby spots. The Johnson farm trail is right at the lodge.
Cons: The walls need insulation. Even being quiet we could hear our neighbors simple conversations. A bit of upgrade on the furniture is needed.
Location: Fisher's is a great breakfast place with amazing french toast recipe. The visitor center and D- day memorial keep the good half of a day.
The lodge is conveniently located right on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the town of Bedford lies below. A stroll around the lake or even putting in a fishing lure complements the real hiking trails in the area, most easy to moderate. but the town of Bedford has the D-day Memorial which is a historians highlight. The lodge has a great dining area but the town also offers up some unique hometown foods. The lodge rooms are built with thin walls so you may hear a few conversations but the visit to the area is worth a little noise. Remember to practice quite time when you can. did I mention it's pet friendly too.
