We arrived at Tapoco Lodge not long after dark. It was absolutely adorable all lit up in Christmas lights next to a creek. We checked in and went to see our cabin. The cabin we rented was a larger cabin broken into three different spaces. Once we cleaned up a bit, we ate dinner at the Tapoco Tavern. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the Tapoco chips. The drinks were good and the waiters were friendly. I can’t say enough good things about this place. The next morning we drove around the lodge a bit to see what all it had to offer. It also has regular hotel rooms and cabins for groups or families. There is hiking on the property and fireplaces randomly dispersed where you can hang out. It looks like such an awesome spot and we can’t wait to bring the kids during the warmer months. There really is nowhere to eat here other than the restaurant in the lodge so we took advantage of their breakfast buffet. Honestly, I’m not a fan of buffets but this was good. The sausage and cheese grits were the best. Don’t pass this up. We spent some time in the gift shop and exploring the property in daylight but chose to hop in the truck and head south to hike once it warmed up. It was still below freezing that morning.
