    The room was immaculate and so cool it transports you in time. The only thing I will say is if you you the Gremlins den and they are having an event be prepared to have noises above you until about 10pm. Besides that our stay was amazing and can't wait to book again.

    Amazing fantasy theme village with rooms that carried the theme all the way down to the stone floors and pottery coffee mugs. Beautiful, well maintained grounds with a pond and walking trails. We enjoyed visiting with other travelers around the fire pit in the evening. We would love to stay again!

    Es un lugar mágico y encantador!!! Todo está decorado con detalle y dedicación. El staff es fenomenal.

    Our stay here was just ok. The price was not worth it in our opinion. You get no extra amenities. They don't even make sure that the people paying to stay can enjoy the full experience. I didn't even know you have to reserve the dining 24 hrs in advance and they make no acceptions. Not to mention, I was completely ignored when I walked into the main office to check in. About 10 staff walked past me without any acknowledgement. I will not be returning.

    Such a cute and unique stay! Waterfall villa was like new on the inside and so spacious and we loved the walking trails.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Secluded, friendly staff, lived the themed rooms and the location! Felt like it was an escape. Cost was a bit high.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I mean come on?! What’s not to like. It’s ADORABLE. We only stayed for one night, last minute booking so we only stayed one night but it was amazing. The price obviously could be better but it’s worth it.

    Great little hidden gem. Amazing what one man's dream can build. The staff and owner were so friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Definitely will be recommending to others. I did not know anything about the meals at the location. The place offers but you have to book through the website so be sure to do that if you plan to stay here. There are other restaurants in the area close by as well. This comment has nothing to do with the establishment, more to do with Booking.com.

    A simply magical respite from the ordinary.

    The food was also superb. I had one lunch and 2 dinners and every single dish was phenomenal. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet getaway.

    We had the farm-to-table meal: delicious spring mix salad, very mid pasta alfredo with chicken main and cheese cake for dessert. The setting was beautiful, but the food didn't really match the "chef prepared" hype I was expecting. Nonetheless, we were happy to have the offering so we didn't have to travel out and sitting family style we met some other interesting travelers. As far as rooms, the Leprechaun's Laire village room with the hand-laid pebble fireplace really appealed to me. It's interesting architecture, gold flecked walls and well-chosen finishes were really charming. During that evening we had a problem with the deadbolt, so when the door no longer closed, they moved us to the 2-story 2BR/2BA treehouse. It was fun having the extra space, but the interior design was more luxury rugged and slightly less charming. Overall, we were very pleased with our one night stay at the Ancient Lore Village on our roadtrip!

    Staff was so friendly and helpful. Kasey, Skylar and Mikayla were amazinggg! 10/10 would recommend it

    ALV is an amazing place and definitely not the "typical" hotel stay or whatever. My wife are much better versed on the experience and look forward to a return visit to enjoy the full benefits of the property. The attention to detail is amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    Good

    What a magical place! The staff treated us like family. The surroundings were so peaceful. We stayed in one of the tree houses and received a beautiful morning wake-up call from a tiny little Carolina Wren who was beckoning the sun to rise.

    It was a magical experience. More food options would have made this experience more fabulous.
