Graham Ordinary Lodge

"Spent one night. The beautifully paneled room in the main lodge is spacious with a view overlooking the wilderness. We were able to make a simple breakfast of oatmeal or breakfast bar and a selection of juices. There are eggs for those who would want one."

"Charming, clean, authentic and affordable B&B just a mile and change from the peaks of Otter Lodge and park area, my happy place. Log cabin outside, modern on the inside (ultra-modern bath suite with heated floor!). I called to make my reservation just hours before arriving and it couldn’t have been easier or friendlier. Clean and restful accommodations including common areas in rustic decor suited for a mini Scottish castle. Definitely will return."

"Was a 2 night stop on my southbound Blue Ridge Pkwy trip. I could have stayed for a few more nights. John, the proprietor, was awesome to chat with, the location is remote enough to allow for a "retreat" feel, while being close enough to Bedford proper if needed. The terrace view was mesmerizing in the best way in the mornings with coffee, the room and lodge were full of so much character with design elements you felt rather than could describe (like it's own type of lodge rather than one you already know from hunting or skiing)...it was really really cool. It's got its nuances but all that does is add to what it is. I really want to come back. Grateful for the hospitality."

"I can hardly do better than a lot of the reviews already posted. There's not much NOT to like about the Ordinary. The mountain location gives plenty of privacy and quiet, plus fine views and easy access to lots of hiking and outdoors activities and local area history. Nice that it's close to Parkway access. The meadery adds an extra dimension (and the mead is good!). It's really a unique experience to stay in a historic property that has been respectfully updated, holding the flavor (and a lot of the structure) of the original property but adding everything you'd want in modern conveniences, and all done in a "handmade" way but competent... function plus rustic beauty. I'm addition, John was patient and helpful with getting me safely parked when I arrived with a tiny-camping gear trailer. He also filled me in on the history of the property (since I had asked!), providing a pleasant and informative social interlude after the day's travel. I'm looking forward to coming back on my many family trips between New York and Asheville."

"What a great bed and breakfast this is!! So quaint and beautiful and rustic along with all the modern amenities. Great mountain Vista views and really close to lots of great hiking trails. We did Sharp Top. As an added bonus the honey meadery was open so we were able to sample some delicious spirits! A very quiet peaceful sleep then delicious breakfast breakfast. Wish I could stay another day."
