When you travel by bike you don't have many options. Your range is limited and in this environment you make do with what you come across. So also in the case of the lava mountain lodge. We were in need of a good meal. Upon entering we did not immediately feel welcome. Would they prefer no one there (we were the only ones). Nevertheless, we took a seat and we were approached in a friendly manner, but it did not feel sincere.
We ordered our food and drinks (see below) and filled our empty stomachs.
Before we left we visited the toilet. It was really too dirty to visit actually. Smelled and the floor was wet. A real shame.
The restaurant looks good inside. But if you zoom in and make contact, it is disappointing.
our advice: drive on to Crooked Creek Guest Ranch, everything is better there: the food, the view, the people! well worth the extra miles!
