Free guest parking is provided, and the lodge’s covered parking is popular with motorcyclists and drivers.

Cheoah 1 sleeps up to 4 guests with 1 King Bed and 1 Double Bed. Both are premium pillowtop mattresses dressed in quality sheets and bedding, so it suits two couples, or a small family or group of friends.
The cabin has a private bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination. It comes with designer toiletries, a hair dryer and fresh towels, so you can unwind after a day on the trails or the river.
Cheoah 1 is a soundproofed cabin with air conditioning, set on Tapoco Lodge's 120 wooded acres along the Cheoah River in Nantahala National Forest. The property sits about 15 miles from the town of Robbinsville, so the atmosphere is peaceful and mountain-quiet.
Expect a TV with digital channels, a coffee/tea maker, free bottled water and free WiFi. There is also an iron and ironing board, and housekeeping comes daily. The Guest WiFi network needs no password. Cell service in the surrounding mountains is limited once you leave the lodge.
There is no swimming pool on the property, though there is a hot tub. Guests who want to swim often head to Yellow Creek Falls, a popular swimming spot on Tapoco Road. The water can be cold, especially in spring and fall. Children under 12 are not permitted in hot tubs at any time.
Breakfast is not included in the rate. The Cheoah Dining Room serves breakfast daily from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., with limited terrace seating over the river. The riverside Tapoco Tavern serves burgers, brick-oven pizza, steaks and local mountain trout from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and a little later on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations are recommended on (828) 498-2800. When the seasonal Tavern closes for winter, the cozy Laurel Lounge off the lodge lobby becomes the gathering spot.
Guests can hike the on-property trails, fish, kayak, play tennis or pickleball, gather around the firepits or take in a Friday movie at the Tapoco Tin Can Theater. The Mountain Spa at Tapoco Lodge is open Fridays to Sundays, and complimentary yoga runs weekly. The Tail of the Dragon starting point at Deals Gap is within a few miles. The Cherohala Skyway, Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest and Fontana Dam are all a short drive away.
Well-behaved children of all ages are welcomed on the property. The age restriction (12 and under) applies to the historic lodge rooms, because of the building's historic nature. Pets are allowed only in designated pet-friendly rooms, with a $75 cleaning fee and a leash required outside the room. Only a few rooms are pet-friendly, so call (828) 498-2800 well in advance.
