Fodor's Expert Review Tapoco Lodge
14981 Tapoco Rd., Robbinsville, North Carolina, 28771, USA
Like an oasis after miles of driving remote roads, Tapoco Lodge offers large stylish rooms in a lodge that's on the National Register of Historic Places. Exposed brick, hardwood floors, and king-size beds make for comfortable digs in the original lodge (built to house workers during the construction of the nearby Cheoah Dam in the 1930s) and cabins scattered throughout the property.
PROS
- close to the "Tail of the Dragon" scenic drive
- hike from the lodge to Bear Creek Falls
- two on-site restaurants alongside the Cheoah River
CONS
- no TVs in rooms
- no cell service
- not all rooms have a river view
