Hike or ride via the Sharp Top Bus to the summit of Sharp Top, where visitors can enjoy a panoramic, 360º view of the mountains.
Nestled between two of the three mountains that make up the Peaks of Otter is the Peaks of Otter Lodge and Restaurant, located at Milepost 86 on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Bedford, Virginia, and open year round. The Lodge, completed in 1964, is the flagship of a chain of visitor concessions strung along the Virginia portion of the Parkway. All are owned and operated by the Virginia Peaks of Otter Company under a special contract with the National Park Service.
Take in the breath-taking scenery of the mountains, its wildlife (deer are a famous staple of the area, along with an occasional bear) and the vibrant and ever-changing colors of the foliage.
Groups are always welcome.
Although we love our pets too, we regrettably do not allow them in the rooms or facilities (assistance animals for the disabled are permitted).
