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.

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!

The lodge is older, but very clean with nice beds and linens. I do miss a fridge and microwave in the rooms, but the restaurant staff were very accommodating to provide hot water for my tea. The beauty surrounding the lodge is unbeatable. Love the chairs outside to sit and enjoy the quiet beauty of the lake and Sharp Top. Such a peaceful place! We enjoyed hiking on the many trails right here. Hope to come back!!

For the price, I felt that the breakfast buffet options were not much better, if not similar to the standard free complimentary fare one finds at hotels along the Interstate. Watery eggs, paper thin bacon, greasy sausage, cold pancakes, etc.. The Brunswick Stew was cold when served, my BLT was greasy, and the waffle fries were dry and over cooked. The room was indeed clean, with the exception of the dirty and stained wine glass, torn paper towel roll, and dirty paper cups found in the chest of drawers in one of the only drawers that could be opened.

The accommodations appeared clean but I question the carpet from the 70's as it did not feel like it was clean. It just gave me a feeling a very uncomfortable feeling due to how much it could hide. Also, as we left, I noticed our room was marked "No Pets" and we had a dog. This could be a serious problem for someone who is allergic. The rooms really need updating badly. I felt like I was camping in a cabin. I haven't stayed in a lodge or hotel with an outer screen door. The caulk around the tub was coming off and the grout was either missing or moldy. It was hard to tell. I can't say that I have ever seen a slot to put your razors in the tile, which didn't seem to have a way to empty if you did use it. The property is beautiful and the staff are friendly. Being as secluded as it is, I wish there were more dining choices other than buffet or a better to go selection in case you arrive after the dining room is closed. I have a hard time believing this is a 3 star hotel. I have stayed in 2 star ones that have had more amenities. I do like that they are pet friendly and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. It is just the rooms that I had a problem with.
