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.

Beautiful property!
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

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

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.

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!
