Overall great stay. Only things i could mention to future stayers is to be mindful if you are staying at lodge downstairs, the upstairs floors are very creaky so this can be quite noisy with people walking back n forth if your staying downstairs like we did. Also the restaurant on site is decent. I do wish they had more options and did the buffet during the week but they didnt. So we ate there twice and then also in town which I highly recommend Cattlemans if your looking for a good steak!

If you are into enjoying the outdoors. This is the place to stay! Wooded trails right outside the door, caves to your and explore and lovely cascading waterways to enjoy. The accommodations are somewhat spartan, but getting away to a simpler place is what this is all about. The room’s balcony overlooks the forest and is a nice place to relax. The room, bedding and linens were very clean. Only negatives were that the mattress was old so it had two noticeable dents on the sides with a ridge down the middle where hundreds of guests had slept before. Several lights were burned out but I’m sure if I was staying longer they would have fixed this. Limited TV options, but if you’re staying here it is to get away from all that anyway. I would definitely come back and stay here to do more exploring.

The hotel room was very clean but a little dated. An excellent value. Would definitely stay there again. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The dining room offered many food options and was very good and plentiful. My primary concern was the the balcony door would not lock. Still felt safe. Parking was very close to the room. The cave tours were great. The guides were excellent and a great value. Loved the forested setting! The trail to the lake and putt putt golf course could use some maintenance.

A great place to stay when you’re hiking around the Carter caves area, we appreciate it that it was pet friendly, and the rooms were reasonably priced given the limited quantity available. The rooms were clean and in pretty good condition, though the door on our room was missing a lot of paint and looked shabby, there were some small things that could be done to improve the overall of the appearance of the room like that. Overall a great experience! Will definitely come back. The staff are very friendly in the office and restaurant.
