Staying at Mountain Home Lodge was an absolutely delightful experience! I loved being right in the heart of Nara Park, surrounded by deer and nature. The cozy room setup was perfect for my family, and having a kitchen made our stay even more convenient. Just a heads up, parking does need to be reserved in advance, and there's a bit of a walk from the city, but it was worth it for the tranquility and unique experience of being so close to the deer.

Staying at the Mountain Home Lodge in Nara Park was a delightful experience. The rooms were lovely and comfortable, and I especially enjoyed the unique opportunity to interact with the deer just outside. One slight downside was the distance from the city, which made it a bit challenging to reach without a car, especially at night. Overall, this place offers fantastic value, especially for families or anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature.

Staying at Mountain Home Lodge was a delightful experience, right in the heart of Nara Park surrounded by friendly deer. The accommodation was cozy and well-equipped, making it a fantastic choice for families. While the distance from the city may be a consideration for some, the unique experience of interacting with deer outside your window definitely makes up for that. The parking fee is reasonable, though it needs to be booked in advance.

Staying at the Mountain Home Lodge was a truly memorable experience for my family. Surrounded by the beautiful deer of Nara Park, our cozy room was perfect for spending time together. The self-contained room provided all we needed, but it would have been nice to have a bit more light at night. The easy access to the park was definitely a highlight, making it a unique stay, but I've found the parking situation to be a little tricky as I had to reserve in advance.
