Welcome to the Glen Choga Lodge

HISTORIC LODGING IN TOPTON, NC

We hope you enjoy a visit to Glen Choga Lodge, our western North Carolina bed and breakfast, where you walk back in time the minute you enter the property. A pond sits to the left as you drive up the driveway, and the large lodge sits to the right. Check in, and check it all out. Sit by the pond as you catch the feeling that time is slowing down. A day in the mountains is equal to two days in the city. Join others on the front porch, where porch therapy is only 5 cents per session, and we encourage you to stay as long as you like.

A cozy, rustic bedroom with a wooden theme. The bed has a wooden headboard and footboard, both featuring inlaid panels with a natural, textured finish that looks like bark or wood slices. The bedding includes a plaid-patterned quilt and matching pillows in shades of dark green, black, and cream. There are two bedside tables, each with a lamp that has a base resembling tree branches. On one bedside table, there is a traditional white ceramic pitcher and basin set. The walls are paneled with wood, enhancing the rustic cabin feel of the room.
