Lovely Stay
We had a fantastic time at the Lydia Mountain Lodge, the cabin was a bit tricky to drive into, and the first night it had not been cleaned so we had to get a last-minute room in the lodge. But the staff was very helpful with that transition and we were able to get back into the Moutain Escape Cabin on the second night. The cabin once cleaned was a wonderfully relaxing place to stay, and we adored the hot tub and quaint cabin feel!
We were wondering if we could get a discount on a future stay since we were not able to stay in the cabin both evenings we had originally booked it for.

Great time
Wonderful stay. Our pass code to open door wouldn't work, but it was quick fix. Small cabin, but had everything needed and we were quite comfortable!!!! We hope to be back

Great stay
Great property and very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Hot tub was great. Only complaint is a sewage smell on the patio by the clean out. We also couldn't find any way to turn on the logs.

Awesome weekend!
Absolutely wonderful stay! Quiet, secluded and beautiful. Everything we needed was available and we had such a beautiful and peaceful weekend. T.V. worked but we never watched it. We had cellphone service but we barely touched our phones. Thank you for an excellent weekend. We will be returning!!

Mountain escape
Bathroom was not clean
Cabin was infested with stinkbugs.
All cabins should include instructions on how to use the TV. We could not get local news or any sports stations.
Roads need to be better maintained.
it takes a truck or SUV to drive on the roads.

Mountain Escape...what's that smell?
Overall the house was ok. It was generally clean and put together well but the overwhelming smell of what i assume is mothballs when you walk in the house was nauseating. Everyrhing we brought into the house reaked of mothballs when we got home. Also the hot tub was disgusting. The water smelled foul, was yellow and there was alot debris and disintegrated bug pieces in the water. It seemed like it hadent been cleaned or maintained in weeks.
