Sagada's Misty Lodge and Café

Misty Lodge

When going on vacation, no matter how much we have the best laid plans to stay within budget, we still end up spending a little bit more than we want. Why not spend a little over your budget to sleep comfortably while on vacation, right?

In Sagada, you will not find any luxury hotels – or anything luxurious, for that matter.  Lodges and inns are very affordable, even those that can accommodate 4 or more people.

When my partner and I visited Sagada (November 4-7,2015), we opted for Misty Lodge and Café as our temporary home away from home.  We were hesitant to stay for the 2 nights that we originally booked for because the hotel is a 15-20 minute walk from the town proper.  It felt like an hour because it was an uphill walk to the hotel.

THE PEOPLE. We immediately decided to stay when we got to the lodge.  In fact, we extended our stay for another night.  Why, you ask? It felt so homey.  The owners were very accommodating and they made us feel welcome.  They were very attentive and sensitive to their customers’ needs.  They were quick to answer our inquiries.  They reminded us of our itinerary for the day, and even suggested all other things that we can do during our stay. They also gave us pointers on where and how to get the best deals of Sagada products, including the best and most affordable restos in town!

THE PLACE. We fell in love with the lodge. The usual hotel-and-inn lobby is not to be found in this lodge. The entrance leads you straight to the dining area.  There are books everywhere, and you can even borrow them! They have a huge collection you can choose from.

THE FOOD. We tried other restos, but we had most of our meals at the lodge’s own café.  This meant walking to town and back again. The food are all delicious! I would recommend their tapsilog – that is their best seller. It was damn good, is number 2 on my list.  My number 1 – Pizza Margherita!  Simple yet so tasty, and so unforgettable, their Pizza Margherrita was not bland, nor was it salty.  It was just right!  Right enough to make you salivate and crave for more.  Even with one slice on my hand, I was already looking forward to the next one!  Pure heaven!

I truly recommend Misty Lodge, guys!  Oh – and by the way, they DO have a shuttle to and from the town proper.  This, however, is subject to availability.
