The cottages were clean and so comfortable, they had everything we needed. Staff were extremely accommodating and honestly seemed happy to work here. We went on 2 cave tours for cascade cave and x cave, both were amazing and i highly recommend especially for families with kids as my 6 and 8 year old loved the experiences

The back porch was a nice spot to relax, watch the rain, and look out into the forest. The bed was pretty comfortable and surprisingly, the tv had a wide range of channels. The breakfast down at the restaurant was amazing on Sunday! Got the buffet, and I’m telling ya, those biscuits… they are soooo good. Coffee was great as well. Also, they have about 3 or 4 smashed penny machines, so bring all your change for that! Carter caves feels like my home away from home, and I love everything about it,

The room was rustic and perfectly acceptable. The private balcony with a pretty woods view was very nice. The only unfortunate experience was the dining room service. They were understaffed with two new teenage servers who were also trying to manage a separate event, which resulted in us and other customers being neglected
