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.

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!

The room was fine. Bed clean. Only had shampoo and body wash in the bathroom. One towel, no wash cloths or hand soap. Big blue stain in the shower. Checking in was a pain. Tried multiple times but they couldn’t get us in. Had an event at 530 pm so we had to leave and couldn’t check in until 11pm. In the morning we called the front desk 3 different times between 7-830 am. No one answered so we walked over to the office and there were 2 people at the desk. Won’t be back.
