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.

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

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.
