This Historic Mountain Lodge In North Carolina May Be Your New Favorite Hideout
Finding the time in our busy lives for a vacation can be a difficult endeavor. But a mini getaway? That’s another story! The next time you can break away for a couple of days, head to the Smokies and this historic lodge located along one of North Carolina’s most scenic highways (and this time, it’s not the Blue Ridge Parkway!)
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Nestled along the gorgeous Cheoah River and along North Carolina's famous Tail of the Dragon (NC-129), this charming resort was built in the 1930s as a private lodge for the American Aluminum Company functions. Employees and their families spent decades enjoying the spoils of this great lodge and the amenities.
The rooms at the lodge are filled with rustic charm, and the decor in each is different. In addition, there are cabins as well as lodge suites — ensuring you can find the perfect fit to suit your needs.
Indoor seating is available for chillier weather, but for most of the year you'll want to be perched alongside the Cheoah River, where the views are every bit as delicious as the food. This laid-back and casual dining choice is open for lunch and dinner with flavorful options like pizzas, steaks, burgers and salads.
Historic Tapoco Lodge Resort is open year-round. It’s located at 14981 Tapoco Rd., Robbinsville, NC 28771. Learn more on the official website for the resort.
