Lydia’s Lodge was a dreamy step away from the busy world. The farm was quiet with views of animals and the indoor space was well kept with plenty of room. If you are traveling with kids - it’s great and if you are traveling for a concert in the Caverns it’s perfect. We will definitely be back the next time we attend a show! Thanks for the hospitality!
Beautiful house with stunning mountain views and wonderful natural surroundings. Very peaceful and relaxing place. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again.
The cabin was the perfect location to see a band at the Caverns. I had a little trouble with getting the initial check-in instructions but after that everything was fine! Beatiful setting and plenty of room!
Everything about our stay was great. We arrived in the area ahead of plans and our Host graciously provided for our early entrance to the property. Very helpful! Additionally the property caretakers stopped by as we arrived and extended their courtesies as well.
A gem hidden in the mountains! This home is pure mountain bliss! Nostalgic, bringing back childhood memories of trips to the mountains with grandparents. The night sky was celestial! The sounds of nature sang to us in the night and awoke us in the morning. The cabin was VERY clean and peaceful. The beds provided a comfortable and refreshing sleep. We had a chance to greet Lydia as she was taking her morning walk, she is very pleasant and joyful!
