Amazing Lodge in an Idyllic Setting

This historic old lodge is just a few miles from the Tail of the Dragon. Accommodations are clean and charming and the restaurant is right on the river. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We'll be back.

Driving the Tail of the Dragon and staying at the Tapoco lodge as been on my bucket list for years. Neither disappointed. The folks at the lodge were super nice, dinner and drinks were lots of fun. The location is fantastic and the property is really enjoyable. The cabins are rustic cabins so don't expect 5 star accommodations but they're fun.

Look at the website pics. This Lodge looks and feels exactly like the website pics. No way to go wrong if you like a rustic stay in the mountains. A sure nuff trout stream… fire pits and s’mores at night… cozy bar/customer lounge…great hiking trails…fast cars courtesy of the rail of the dragon… mountains everywhere

The Tapoco Lodge is absolutely beautiful and the staff was amazing. The cabin we stayed in felt like everything was antique but somehow still new. My only complaint was that Expedia allowed me to book it as a pet-friendly room when the actual room I chose wasn’t pet-friendly. The Tapoco honored the reservation anyway and took care of us. They were terrific. My wife is already asking if we can stay here again.

Despite all the positive reviews, I am extremely disappointed with this place. I thought it was maintained better since it is a historic hotel. We stayed in Overlook cabin, the bathroom's grout was falling apart and had cheap plastic bathtub. The room was musty. Kudzu is invading all the vegetation in the yard, either the owner has no idea or they don't care, the lawn was maintaned as little as possible. Right by the river and national forest, how can you even use and serve a coctail in a plastic cup? We were served stale chips with jar salsa, salad's romain was old, pizza was OK, if you like the cheapest topping on your pizza. I am sorry, I might have higher expectations if I am paying $250 per night, but if you own and manage a place built in 1930, please be proud and maintain it better, and don't use plastic cups or straws, be environmentally conscious.

Beautiful lodge and property. I was looking for something tucked in the mountains that would accomodate my dog. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Mountain cabin was clean and very comfortable. Got some.nreakfsst sandwiches in the morning, amd the biscuits were delicious. There are also miles of hiking trails on and near the property, and a gorgeous river.

IDYLLIC STAY

We found the hotel quite by chance after our previous booking at Asheville was cancelled due to Hurricane Helene. We absolutely loved everything about our stay - the hotel, the location, the staff, the hot tub, the hiking trails, and the trout I had in the Tapoco Tavern was one of the best meals I have had during my time in the US. We live in the UK but will definitely recommend the lodge to our family living in Atlanta and anybody we know visiting North Carolina
