I have never had such an awful experience at a hotel in my life. The Peaks of Otter Hotel was completely unacceptable. Our room was infested with bed bugs AND fleas – an absolute health hazard. We woke up with multiple bites, and upon closer inspection, we saw the bugs crawling on the mattress and headboard. It was beyond disgusting. When we reported the issue, the response from staff was shockingly inadequate. There was no urgency, no real apology, and no offer to compensate us for the horrible situation. To make matters worse, the staff was rude and awful to us when we asked about a refund, which is completely unacceptable given the circumstances. This level of negligence is inexcusable, especially for a property that charges these rates and claims to provide a quality experience. For your own health and safety, avoid this hotel at all costs. I will be contacting the local health department to file a formal complaint because this is a serious sanitation problem. Do not risk bringing bed bugs or fleas home from this place.

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 Needs Improvement

We recently stayed at Peaks of Otter Lodge and had a very mixed experience. The setting is beautiful, and it’s a great place to disconnect and enjoy nature. The highlight of our stay was the Sharp Top shuttle ride—Dave made it such an enjoyable experience! Drinks at the bar were also wonderful, and the pricing on them was very reasonable. However, for $250/night, we expected more from the room. It was very outdated, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and hard, and the air conditioner barely worked. There was no phone in the room, and it lacked basic amenities like a mini fridge or microwave, which should be standard at this price point. To top it off, we found a spider in the bathtub upon arrival. The check-in process was slow with a long wait at the front desk just to get our room key. While we were at the lounge, there was a wedding party that made the space overwhelmingly loud, and it was hard to place a drink order with so many people crowding the bar. This lodge has potential and the location is stunning, but the rooms and guest experience need updates to match the price.

A beautiful mountain getaway! My room was basic but comfy and clean and the beautiful views and mountain setting is what makes this place so pretty. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.
