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.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge and the park in general. The room was clean and a good size. The air conditioner was a bit noisy going on and off at night while trying to sleep. The staff were all very nice and helpful. We loved all of the trails and the tour of Cascade Cave! Its a very special, and unique area!

The room was cozy and cool with the air conditioning. The scenery was breathtaking, we noticed many deer families around the trails and facilities. And we were able to go touring the caves, down the creeks and we enjoyed their rather challenging putt putt golf course. We'll be bringing our kids with us next time for sure 😊

Karli was outstanding. she made up for the fact that the hotels.com yet again did a truly ubersuck description of the room and how to get to it. There are not any elevators to the second floor. Karli was kind enough to tell us how to mitigate the problems and was even willing to get our luggage into the room. The room itself was comfortable enough, though the handle was broken to go out on patio and the a/c was deafening, and the dining room was a disaster.
