It's close to the dam and water access: The owner/manager is very welcoming, super nice and so helpful. Our kids stayed in one of the rooms and enjoyed their stay as well. They said the bed was super comfortable and the room was clean. It is our preferred place to stay when in the area as we tried the KOA once, and it's definitely a KO-nAy for us. Blue Ridge Lodge & RV is a total opposite camping and hospitality experience in all the best ways! Thank you BRL & RV for another enjoyable trip!

If you are near Murphy and you have kids, don't skip this place. It seems like one of those places that should be around forever.

What a pleasant experience! We were visiting with family and decided to do an afternoon on the…read morelake. We called and made reservations in advance for a pontoon boat rental. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were very happy that our small dog was allowed to join us. The staff shared with us that they allow dogs on tritoons, canoes, some stand-up paddleboards, the fishing boat, and select pontoons. Arrangements should be made in advance, especially pontoon rentals, so plan accordingly. The day came, and we checked in for our reservation. We were kindly greeted and given the rundown and took care of the paperwork. Afterward, we looked around the marina main office at the souvenir goodies provided such as t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and a few locally made items displayed. They also have items like sunscreen, snacks, and sandals available to purchase. A restroom on the outer of the building is provided, so take advantage before boarding your boat rental. The pontoon boat we rented ($180 for four hours on a weekday) was practically brand new and perfectly maintained. It was very clean and had a nice setup. The staff provided a map of the lake along with some tips on where to find the rope swings and the islands you could park at. If you visit the islands, be aware there's red dirt. Be sure to clean your feet before boarding the boat again to avoid any cleaning fee after you bring the boat back to the marina. We had a great experience that made repeat customers out of us. Beautiful, clean, and quiet lake, friendly and helpful staff, tip top boat rental with affordable pricing, AND dog friendly- great all around, and we highly recommend.

Honestly, it's just irritating to be inconvenienced & disrespected in the manner we were today. We…read morehad rented a boat for Labor Day weekend and upon arrival were given a hassle about parking with multiple vehicles. Mind you, we rented a boat to fit 10 people, so obviously we weren't going to be showing up in just 1-2 cars. Anyway, that wasn't the true issue here. It wasn't communicated to us that we couldn't all park at the marina, but it wasn't a big deal as the parking attendant told us we could park our extra vehicles at the Inn down the road. So, we would just have to shuttle back to the marina in one of the vehicles we were keeping there. Upon parking our vehicles at the Inn which we were told to do by their parking attendant, we were "greeted" by the male owner telling us we can't park there. Someone in our group expressed to the male owner that the parking situation and miscommunication about it was a bit frustrating, as it was making us late for our boat rental and it all could be handled better for future customers. The owner then immediately proceeded to tell our friend we are no longer renting a boat (after we have already unloaded all of our things, stowed them away onto the boat, got two handicapped elderly members of our group loaded onto it and got myself & my 3 year old child loaded onto to it), called my friend an "a**hole" simply for expressing frustration AND BEST OF ALL, telling us we will not be getting a refund after he is cancelling our reservation. Luckily, the female owner did refund us after some back & forth. Unfortunately for her (as she was very kind and pleasant), she is doing business with someone who is obviously short fused and doesn't care much about customer service. We have given this place business multiple times over the past few years, so we are really disappointed with our experience and will not be returning or suggesting for others to do so.

We actually had conversations, laughter, and lots of good fishing stories as we sat around the campfire and on the back porch overlooking the beautiful river.
