The staff is friendly. Check in is smooth. The hotel's environment is very beautiful, and you can see the beautiful lake and Mountain from the room window. Room space is enough. Dinner is very good. Big parking area.

Beautiful location! The hotel is old, but the bed was comfortable. The view from our little porch was outstanding. I would go back for that alone. The food in their dining room is mediocre.

Beautiful area but lodge is OLD and overpriced. This is more like a camp out. I wish they could get federal funding to restore buildings. The restaurant buffet was also a disappointment

Just off of the Blue Ridge Parkway, this nugget offers a tranquil view of peaks and lake. Pleasant easy walk path around the lake also takes you the lodge and dining.
