Welcome to the Historic Tapoco Lodge.

The Historic Tapoco Lodge, located in Robbinsville, North Carolina, is a beautiful and historical property that is surrounded by the gorgeous forests of the Smoky Mountains, and right on the banks of the Cheoah River. With groomed trails crisscrossing our 120 acre campus and the Tail of the Dragon just outside our door, this is an ideal escape for car and nature enthusiasts alike.

Local Activities

Ride the Tail of the Dragon

One of the most famous roads in America, the Tail of the Dragon features over 300 curves in just 11 miles. Motorcycle and car enthusiasts alike will love driving this road, with its breathtaking views of the mountains and the lush forests at every turn.

Lake Santeetlah

Lake Santeetlah is just a short drive away and boasts peaceful, private shorelines buffeted by thick national forest. It’s a wonderful place to go swimming to cool off in the summer, and offers great fishing to boot.

River Kayaking

Are you an adrenaline junkie? Do you want to experience a unique view of the river? The Cheoah River offers a unique opportunity to ride the rapids and test your river skills in some of the best whitewater rafting and kayaking around.

What Visitors Say

We had an excellent overnight stay at Tapoco Lodge and wished we had booked a longer visit. The Lodge is situated right next to the Cheoah River with a large outdoor dining area on 2 levels offering great atmosphere and excellent food.

We have passed by here a dozen times on motorcycles or in the Jeep while riding through the mountains. We finally stopped to check it out. What a great decision. We spent the night and had a wonderful time. The food was great, the staff was like family and the atmosphere was amazing. We enjoyed our stay so much we are coming back for a second visit.

My wife and I visit regularly. It's our quick getaway and never disappoints. The rooms are rustic and feels like time stopped. Incredible atmosphere with great food and wonderful service. We love thee hiking, coffee and dinner by the water. It's a hidden gem
