I had a great time at the lodge in Carter Caves. The location is beautiful, perfect for hiking and exploring the caves. The room was clean, but a little dated and the beds weren't the most comfortable. The dining experience was fantastic with delicious meals, although the buffet on the busy day had some service issues. Overall, the lodge is a good value if you're looking for a nature getaway with ample activities.

I had a fantastic time at this resort! The park surrounding it is beautiful, and the lodge is really well-maintained. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, and the food was delicious, especially the catfish! However, the noise from the upper floors was quite bothersome, and my wife had a mishap due to a loose step on a trail. Overall, it's a lovely spot for families, but definitely consider your room choice for a quieter experience.

Our stay was mostly enjoyable with a great location for nature activities and clean accommodations. The lodge offered easy access to hiking and cave tours. However, the rooms could use some updates, and dining service was inconsistent. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for outdoor adventure without roughing it in a tent.

Carter Caves offers a fantastic nature getaway with spacious cottages and beautiful surroundings. The cleanliness and amenities provided in the cottages exceeded my expectations. I loved the well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed spending peaceful mornings on the covered deck. However, I encountered some chilly weather during my stay which limited some outdoor activities. Overall, it's a wonderful place for those who appreciate nature and pet-friendly options.

I had an amazing nine-day camping experience at Carter Caves. There's so much to see and do, from exploring beautiful caves to hiking scenic trails. The cottage was clean and comfortable, perfect for a getaway. However, the kitchen amenities could use some improvement, and the breakfast options were a bit lackluster. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an outdoor adventure!
