Had a great stay at the Inn with my wife recently. For the price, I expected the room to be terrible. It was much nicer than expected. Every staff member we met was very friendly. The food at the restaurant was great. We will be back for another stay in the summer.
We arrived very late on a roadtrip and were still greeted warmly! The room was impeccably clean and comfortable with a balcony overlooking the woods. You can tell the lodge is well-built with high-quality finishes. The coffee provided in the room was also excellent. It was one of the most affordable places we stayed despite the high quality of accommodations. We ate lunch at the restaurant buffet, which was outstanding and well worth $19 for Sunday lunch. All the staff were excellent. We really appreciated the recommendation for a quick hike around the natural bridge too! Thanks for giving us a wonderful stay!
Very nice park! We toured X cave and Cascade cave and both were super cool. My kids came in a little nervous about caves and skittish about bats but after seeing many hibernating bats up close they now think they’re super cute and harmless. Our tour guides were great and all the facilities were quite nice. Would love come explore in the summer and camp! Such cool geology and nature here!
Great setting in a State Park. I have never seen a State Park with a motel. Only 10-15 minutes off the interstate. Well worth the drive. Found on Expedia. There seemed to be a black Friday special. The room was very reasonable for 2025. Older facility, but well maintained and clean and the upper rooms have a balcony with 2 chairs and a table to enjoy the outdoors! Great lodge and reservation desk. Decent continental breakfast--enough for us. Nice group of porch swings. Trails. Caves. Planned activists. Etc. We didn't have time to take
Booked my elderly parents at the hotel for a treat in their travels. The room ( whilst older in structure) was very, very comfortable. They were well treated, with extra care and their needs were meet. The resturant nearby the hotel is service by the park and they enjoyed the friendly waitstaff and the food was very good and within a reasonable price zone for them. They said they look foward to visiting the park again.
