The staff is friendly. Check in is smooth. The hotel's environment is very beautiful, and you can see the beautiful lake and Mountain from the room window. Room space is enough. Dinner is very good. Big parking area.

Beautiful area but lodge is OLD and overpriced. This is more like a camp out. I wish they could get federal funding to restore buildings. The restaurant buffet was also a disappointment

The Lodge offers simple rooms with comfortable beds and an awesome view of Abbott Lake and nearby mountains. Staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurant was quite good and super convenient. Don’t miss the walk around the lake, which is paved and accessible. It’s a great pre- or post-dinner stroll and we enjoyed it. Excellent stop while taking in the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway! Highly recommend!

It's an old lodge doing the best it can with the infrastructure... Also there is absolutely no accessibility access except in the main lodge building which does have an elevator.

The stay at The Peaks of Otter this weekend was incredible! It was really refreshing to see the beauty of God's creation all around. So peaceful, tranquil, and beautiful everywhere I went. The service was spot on, the food was really good, and the people were really friendly. I would recommend The Peaks to anyone!

Location, location, location! The grounds were beautiful. It was so peaceful. The lodge itself is in desperate need of upgrades. There is no WiFi except in the main building (restaurant). For the price, I expected a few more amenities. But overall the room was clean and the location is lovely.

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.

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.
