We really enjoyed this past weekend at the lodge. We were delighted that we had snow which just enhanced the experience. Always felt welcomed and appreciated as guests. The family does an amazing job to make you feel at home. The food was spectacular and enjoyed the wine and beer tastings. Met some great people and was a bit sad... More

We would have never found if we did not know some local folks. The food was good, but not outstanding. Service was kind of hit and miss. No problem serving ourselves, but table service for drinks was not very good. The staff seems to have a good time talking to each other?

As a professional brewer, I thought it necessary to stop by with my girlfriend for lunch and a couple of beers. Will and his wife (sorry I didn't catch her name) people you'd love to have a life long friends. They were very open, friendly and accommodating. We were seated upstairs by a window where we ordered a stout and... More

To begin with we made reservations the week before our trip and the women on the phone was very nice, and everyone looked forward to staying there. After settling in, the owner deliberately started an argument with us. We left due to his sheer ignorance and rude behavior.

Tucked in a small valley in the mountains of North Carolina lies the Toe River Lodge B&B where the service is impeccable, the food scrumptious and where you'll find one of the most relaxing getaways around. Award winning dining, their very own winery and brewery, swimming pool and right on the river for fishing! Just a short drive to the... More

First, off I'm writing this review one year later, shame on me! We stayed November 4-6, 2011. My husband and I were invited to a wedding being held at the banquet room at the Toe River Lodge in Plumtree, NC the first weekend in November. First, we'd never heard of Plumtree, even having lived in NC for many years and... More

We enjoyed the mac-daddy of all brunch buffets this past Sunday. Wear your expandable pants... everything on the menu is delicious and you will go back for seconds, thirds, fourths, etc. Can't wait to come back!

The Toe River Lodge was a great weekend getaway. Having purchased the Living Social deal, we stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. The food was DELICIOUS. We tried the pizza, the black bean burger, and the fajita wrap, and it was all very fresh. The brewery and winery on-site offered a good selection and were really tasty... More

My husband and I just returned from a weekend in the mountains to celebrate our anniversary. We booked our stay with the Vance Toe River Lodge, and stayed in their Mountain View cabin.
