What Guests Are Saying 

“My wife and I traveled from Austin to NC to meet friends at Glen Choga Lodge for 4 days for a birthday celebration. We had an exceptional experience. The lodge and its lush property are pristine. The rooms are comfortable suites (bedroom, bath, and living room) and throughout the rest of the lodge are various sitting areas, a library, dining areas, and lots of outdoor seating. Art and artifacts fill each area and 4 days wasn’t enough to see everything. Great hiking, strolling, and lounging. Tim and Liz are terrific, hospitable hosts who made us all feel very much at home. We will be back!”

-David

We LOVED our stay here. Innkeeper Tim and family are fantastic hosts. We had the blessing of catching the place when we were the only ones staying, so we had the whole lodge and property to ourselves (plus them), but it would have been great even if it was full. Perfect getaway if you want peace and quiet — definitely remote, but worth it. Nearby Andrews has a great rail bikes excursion. The hosts know just the balance of engaging guests and leaving them alone to enjoy the property, of which they are (deservedly) very proud of. They keep it pristine, no bugs, total comfort. We plan to go back soon!

-Paul

We spent the weekend there for a getaway and some white water rafting. We travel a lot for work and pleasure, but this was the most memorable stay we can remember. The lodge is fantastic! The care they have taken to preserve the history of this property is indescribable. Tim and his family keep this place spotless. We felt like guests in someone’s home rather than a tenant in a lodge. When we get a chance to return to this area for pleasure or business, we won’t even look at another property. Had we known what was in store, we’d have booked an extra day just to spend on the property. Keep up the great work.
