Peaks of Otter Lodge

Our stay was less than satisfactory. The room smelled old and musty. There were multiple flies in the room when we checked in . There was one hand towel on the bed and it was damp. There were only tea and decaf coffee keurig cups.  We did go to the front desk and were given 2 clean, dry hand towels as well as some caffeinated keurig cups. The restaurant was understaffed. The first day we waited 10 minute before a host even came to the host stand. Then had an hour wait to be seated. The waitress at lunch was wonderful though. Although the skillet cookie and berry crisp were both out of stock. We were told they’d be back for dinner, but they were both out AGAIN. For dinner we ordered out to take back to our room as the wait was 60-90 minutes. The food was cold and although we ordered ice cre

My husband and I visited from south Florida and while dining at the lodge, we had the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and grilled pork for lunch. Both dishes were truly amazing. Chef Dustin was super personable and went above and beyond to ensure everything was to our liking. He is definitely a great asset to the lodge and is the reason we will definitely be coming back the next time we are in the area! Thank you Dustin!

I gave everything 5 stars, primarily because of the location. The lodge is an “old-fashioned” motor lodge-type motel. While the rooms are pretty basic — clean and comfortable — you are paying for the views and location. They had two large groups while we were there — our group of about 45 who had gathered for a friend’s celebration of life and a wedding party. Every room has either a private balcony or patio, overlooking Abbott Lake and the “Peaks of Otter.” of the buildings was designated as pet-friendly. The restaurant accommodated our group gatherings in their very comfortable meeting room — a catered happy hour event and luncheon. The restaurant staff went out of their way to seat us as a large group for a dinner. I think everyone else staying there were hikers and there are several

I needed a little reset and ultimately decided to stay here. I have no regrets! Everyone I came in contact with was friendly, the staff was great and the food is good. I recommend the Crab Cakes! The room was fine (a little dusty and a few webs but you are in the mountains) I love that there is a privacy balcony and the view was AMAZING! I drove through the mountains and its simply breathtaking. I plan on coming back with my family when the foliage changes. Thanks again to the great staff!

Location is everything! If it's luxury and amenities you are looking for go look somewhere else this is not a hotel that provides a whole lot. For snacks they have nothing and their ice machine is in desperate need of cleaning. For the price of the joint you($264 check-in time 4:00 p.m. check out time 11:00 a.m.) would think you could at least have access to a microwave but there is none. There are no phones in the room you have to walk up the hallway outside to be able to call the front desk. If you're going for Aesthetics of the surroundings then it is perfect! it is beautiful this time of year, my husband and I been here twice for our anniversary this year it was our 37th. but access to the rooms is very bad especially someone who is disabled like myself I thought getting back and to m
