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

We loved our stay at the Lodge. It’s such a peaceful, relaxing place. The restaurant was very good and service was excellent. The Overlook Cabin was great except for the bathroom which is in need of a major update.

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.

This place is perfect! Staff is attentive and the food was delicious. Love the bird background noise in the room, the great coffee that is always available, river front dining with our wonderful waitress and the cozy and comfortable bed and bath. Motorcycle garage a plus!

We selected a cabin and could easily walk from it to the main lodge. The setting on the water was perfect. Just a short ride from the Lodge is the southern tip of the Tail of the Dragon, a great ride for us in our Vette.

The view out of our window was beautiful, we were on the creek side.
The room was clean and comfortable and large
Staff is very friendly
Small store on site has great gift items
Downside is there wasn’t a TV in the room
Also cars on The Dragon can be noisy
Restaurant is just OK- pizza was delicious but other food (burgers, trout) not great
