The food was delicious- it really is great to have breakfast and supper taken care of. Beds were so comfortable. Fireplace in our room was much needed and a real treat. Jacuzzi was awesome. Complimentary biscuits were very delicious. The directions are tricky but once you have been once it's easy. The staff were welcoming and the dining area creates a family feel.

We wish we had stay more than a night at the cave lodge. The lodge, friendly staff, good and nice homemade food for diner and breakfast exceed our expectation. The dining and lounge areas are all communal with long dining room tables where guests enjoy breakfast and dinner as a group. We love the view of the mountain and sunset. The chess set was nicely crafted which I wish I could buy it as souvenir and we didn’t have a chance to enjoy the Jacuzzi bath.
