I enjoyed the space and accommodation. I was a bit overrun by large black ants, lady bugs and a few wasp. Constantly killing and sweeping. The lodge restaurant and pavilion were enjoyable.

So I’ve been to this and the bamboo beatle down the road the last four years in a row, it’s a nice peaceful getaway but unfortunately this time wasn’t the best, to start with in the celling fan light had hundreds of ladybugs (I unscrewed it and threw them all outside), the bathroom fan was dusty, and the hot tub smelled like fish after the second night. Not your best Lydia

I wanted to try and see what this little cabin could accommodate and it didn’t disappoint. It was in a quiet, secluded spot, yet the patio area, hot tub and ample parking made it an even larger area to enjoy. I WILL be returning!

The bamboo beetle cabin pod was cute and fun for one night. I would recommend this for someone traveling alone or with one dog. Due to the size of the pod, it was just too small for me and my husband to be comfortable any longer than an overnight. I am very tall and didn’t quite fit well in the bathroom or shower. The location is pretty with Mountain views and is very quiet/remote/rural. We had to drive several miles from our pod to get to the event that was held at the main lodge. We didn’t realize how far the cabin pod was from the lodge. We brought our own linens. For guests comfort, I would recommend Lydia Mountain staff replace the futon with a day bed or Murphy bed with a better mattress and upgrading the pillows and linens. Although the cabin pod was fairly clean, there was a layer of dust on the shelves and light fixtures inside the pod. I was surprised that there was only one coffee packet available. The smart TV did not get a signal so we couldn’t watch tv. The key didn’t work well in the door (jammed/stuck/wouldn’t open). If we return, we will rent a bigger cabin with proper beds and full sized showers.
