"Excellent Anniversary Experience"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We enjoyed our long weekend stay at the lodge to experience our 45th wedding anniversary. Hurricane Debbie had knocked out electric service to the lodge which came back shortly after 6:00pm. The lady working the bar while we were there gave excellent service. On Saturday we ate breakfast and dinner in the dining room. Food was excellent.

"A delightful stay!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Had a wonderful first time visit to Peaks of Otter Lodge. Staff were very friendly and helpful! I stayed on the lower floor where the rooms are ADA compliant and can be accessed by an elevator (I walk with a cane). Be aware, if you stay on the upper floor, you will need to be able to walk stairs with your luggage as there is no elevator to that floor. The room was clean and comfortable with a walk in shower with a bench. TV, refrigerator and coffee maker but no microwave. Very comfortable beds! The room had another door that lead outside where there were a couple of chairs for sitting and looking at the lake. The resturant had plenty of seating and wonderful views, friendly and efficient staff. Peaks of Otter is a small, no frills (no pool or gym) hotel that is clean and quiet and great for relaxing and communing with nature. KBS Richmond, VA.
