Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The property is old and has not been updated. The carpet is terrible. The furniture stained. The AC barely works. Dust on a lamp that I could have written my name. Virtually no WiFi in the rooms. The bedsheets felt clean and bed not bad. Shared concerns with manager. She was understanding, expressed they are having issues and comped our breakfast.

The room was attractive and comfortable. Absence of porch rockers is a negative. Outside of lodging buildings badly needs paint. Dining experience has declined dramatically from past experiences. Playing 80's Rock in the dining room is totally inappropriate for that lakeside setting ( and I like music but it's terrible the ambiance desired at the Peals ding room. Soft music or something like mountain dulcimer would be fitting). Waited 20 min for fresh chicken- 3 old wings were all that was available. Rolls were hard from sitting a long time. Experience could be so much more and cost creating that heightened experience would be recovered from increased business volume. Badly need visionary management team.

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay at the Peaks of Otter Lodge. The lodge may feel a little dated, but it is very clean and well looked after. Our room was comfortable, with a good bed and beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Dinner and breakfast at the lodge restaurant were both very tasty, with fresh food and generous portions. The staff were attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. It’s a unique and peaceful place to stay — especially if you want to enjoy the scenery of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Asked for a 2nd floor, put me on the ground floor in a pet room that smelled like dog the whole time we were there. Window sills had dead bugs, not cleaned, wi fi was terrible.

Beautiful setting and area. For the high room rate, too bad the rooms don't have a bit more rustic lodge feeling. They really need a bit of sprucing up. Since there is no cell coverage there, the internet connection needs improvement. Very nice dining room and food. The staff are quite helpful and friendly.
