This was our first visit to Turkey and we decided to do an hors d'oevre - stopping in different places - town - coastal tree house - picturesque coastal town and here at THE MOUNTAIN LODGE in the village of Yaka. A wonderful quiet setting on the side of a mountain plain. Carefully designed in an English-style stone - making... more

I stayed at the Mountain Lodge on my first visit to Turkey and did not leave disappointed. The lodge is located away from the hustle and bustle of the big towns, giving a great insight into rural Turkey where you can witness real Turkish life rather than that set up for tourists. The owner, Mel, lives on site with her... more

I was really excited about this hotel. I took a gamble as I usually don’t book hotels unless they have good reviews on trip advisor, but all seemed well with this hotel. The gamble did not pay off. The hotel is in a beautiful setting, though a bit off the beaten track, near the ruins of Telos. We arrived to... more

We recently stayed in this small hotel as part of a 3-wk trip to western Turkey. The rooms were spacious, the bathrooms were modern and had very attractive tiles, the view was superb and the grounds were beautifully and imaginatively landscaped. We also enjoyed the food and the hospitality of the owner and owner's family. It was a peaceful, lovely... more

I've recently returned from touring some 1600 miles of western Turkey and I will never forget the view from the Mountain Lodge outside Fethiye. Balm for the soul. As was the cleanliness of the room, the bounty of food and the kindness of the owner. As a matter of fact, having grown accustomed to yogurt every morning and seeing none... more

We have spend several holidays at the Mountain Lodge; in the past 8 years we have been there almost once a year. But why ? Isn't it boring to visit the same place again and again and ... No. The Mountain Lodge is different. It`s like visiting friends combined with excellent service and all the opportunities you expect staying in... more

We only spent a few days here as we were on limited time. Although off the beaten track it is a lovely small property. The staff were friendly and the owner made us feel at home. We stayed in the Dove suite, which had a four poster bed. The views from our bed were of the most beautiful countryside and... more

Double room charges, hidden exorbitant meal fees when the website clearly states breakfast and dinner are included in the cost of a room, cold showers, loud noises all night, and hard beds. This is the hotel I was most excited to stay at. All the good reviews were trashed with my experience at the Mountain Lodge. Our first night there... more

We found the Mountain Lodge in a Guardian article about quiet reasonably priced hotels. We weren't prepared for the sheer beauty and peacefulness of the mountain setting - stunning. The hostess, Mel, and her 2 staff run the 8-room hotel very efficiently and made our 2 week stay very comfortable. Breakfasts are included and lunches/evening meals can be provided as... more
