2020/2021 Today and Tomorrow

Dear Guests
2020 is now in the history books for us. We opened 6 weeks late, at 50% capacity, with the roof blown off of the office building (taking that entire building off line). We could only house 50% of the normal staff that we need. Everything seemed all doom and gloom.

As we wrap up this season, in my opinion, we have seen the genesis of a new Pisgah Inn. A better , more tranquil Pisgah Inn. Less quantity, more quality. Lots of potential exists for improvement and in keeping with the new normal. For 2021, you can expect as a hotel guest to have reservations for breakfast and dinner in the main dining room. Lunch will be open to the public and guests by reservations. The Grazing Deer Cafe will be open from early till late to take care of any in between needs and the throngs of drive through visitors. Hotel room rates will stay exactly as they were for 2019 and 2020. Breakfast in the main dining room is not included with your room rate, but is well worth experiencing.

We look forward to having you visit us next season. We open April 1. God Willing.

To all of our visitors and friends…

It is hard to believe that 2 months ago, the leadership team at Pisgah Inn met to plan a survival garden and set up a chicken coop. We were preparing for the zombie apocalypse.

Now, we are open and looking for more staff. How quickly things change.

We are open with some changes from previous seasons. The gift shop and the country store are open as usual. All CDC requirements are in place. You can feel comfortable here.

The lodge rooms are available with only 2 changes, one being limited housekeeping services. If you are staying more than one night, you will not get daily housekeeping service unless you request it. Let us know if you need extra towels, coffee, or any other amenity. The rooms are disinfected thoroughly after every checkout. The other change is that we now deliver a complimentary continental breakfast to your room daily. (Our main dining room is NOT open for breakfast).

The food service is different. We have 50% indoor dining capacity now. The main Dining Room is open for Lunch and Dinner, by advance reservation only. There are scheduled seatings for meal service. This could be seen as an improvement as the huge crowds and long waiting times are a thing of the past.
Our Grazing Deer Café (Grab and Go food and beverages) is now open from 7:30 am -9:30 pm daily. This is also an improvement.
We welcome all input and feedback. Tell us how we can do things better.
We are excited to be open again and look forward to seeing you this season.

The much enlarged deck will provide you with more space to enjoy the unique views Pisgah has to offer. Relax while enjoying a glass of iced tea or your favorite wine. Whether you’re joining us for a meal in our beautiful dining room, spending a day or two in our lodge, or simply taking in the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we feel sure you will enjoy it.

The Pisgah Inn continually strives to be the best and we all appreciate your continued support.
If you have any comments or concerns, please feel free to call or email.

Pisgah Inn Voted #1 Best National Park Lodge!

It was a hard-fought and extremely close battle between the top two lodges for the title, but in the end, Pisgah Inn of the Blue Ridge Parkway took home top honors, thanks in part to its beautiful mountain views and excellent meals. The Blue Ridge Parkway is part of the National Park Service. Runner-up Many Glacier Hotel, located inside Glacier National Park, boasts some of the most spectacular views of any national park lodge.
