The Lodge is amazing but our experience at the lodge restaurant was not that great. Food and drinks took forever and there was a mix up with my food and the quality was not good

Beautiful grounds. Delicious dinner.
Breakfast was disappointing. No landline in room, must go outside to use hotel phone. Although I had a cell phone, connectivity was challenging

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.

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!

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.
