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.

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 😊

We enjoyed our stay. I need to be in better shape to do all the hiking we wanted to do. The waitresses at the restaurant went out of her way to give me some peanut butter when my blood sugar dropped. Thank you so much.
