Hummingbird Suite (Second Floor, Queen)
The Hummingbird Suite | Queen Bed | Sitting Room | Ensuite Full Bath Scenic Views
Located on the second floor, the Hummingbird Suite is a warm, welcoming retreat that captures the timeless charm of Glen Choga Lodge. This thoughtfully appointed suite features a queen-sized bed dressed in luxurious linens, complemented by antique furnishings and décor that reflect the lodge’s rich history and cozy Adirondack character.
A private sitting room—separated from the bedroom by a full bath—offers an intimate space to relax and unwind. Furnished with a comfortable sofa, elegant side tables, a bureau, side chair, and a cocktail table, it’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, a quiet read, or peaceful reflection. The adjoining bedroom echoes the same historic warmth, with a premium mattress, and carefully restored antique furnishings. Together, creating a serene space for rest.
Modern comforts blend seamlessly with rustic charm, including personalized climate control, modern deluxe hybrid mattress, Keurig coffee maker, and premium bath amenities—each detail thoughtfully chosen to enhance your stay.
From this elevated perch, enjoy sweeping views of the lodge’s manicured grounds, the trout pond, and Little Choga Creek, with the mountains rising just beyond—beautiful in every season and particularly magical at sunrise and dusk.
The Hummingbird Suite pairs rustic character with refined comfort, offering a tranquil and memorable escape in the heart of the Nantahala. Glen Choga Lodge is a historic mountain retreat nestled in the serene forests near Lake Nantahala, North Carolina. Built in 1935, the lodge has long served as a peaceful haven for travelers and nature lovers seeking the quiet charm of the Smoky Mountains. While thoughtfully restored over the years to provide modern comforts, it still radiates the rich character and timeless beauty of its early Appalachian roots.
Step inside and bask in the inviting warmth of the lodge’s stunning timber interior — a harmonious blend of American Chestnut and Poplar, skillfully milled on-site. The majestic, yet cozy, stone fireplace, warm textures, and thoughtfully curated period furnishings create a comforting atmosphere that embraces you the moment you arrive.

The shared spaces are designed for connection and relaxation — whether you’re curling up with a book, enjoying meaningful conversations by the fire, or simply gazing out at the tranquil forest that surrounds the lodge. You will find that the Glen Choga Lodge was meant to be enjoyed by all who enter.
Just minutes from Lake Nantahala, guests are perfectly positioned to enjoy a wealth of outdoor adventures.

Wish it could have been longer!
Tim was very open, waited for us to arrive just as it was getting dark at 9:00PM. We were he only guests that night, which was special in it's own way, but we did miss out on meeting new friends. We were visiting a friend who lived nearby and was fortunately able to guide us there. While off the beaten path, the next day as we departed, I was amazed at how good the roads were. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the amazing accommodations and beautiful natural surroundings.
