Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Even our picky eaters had a party eating at the café. Their pizza is tops, especially the Quattro Formaggi, and so are the homemade yogurts and burgers. On new year’s eve, they accommodated our orders even if we came in just after their closing time for the day. They even allowed us to stay inside by their fireplace to get warm, as we waited for our ride.
They graciously offered us a room for the next night, upon learning that we were displaced by overbooking in another place in the center of town. There is just genuine hospitality and kindness in Misty Lodge.
On new year’s day, they were among the few places that were open and we are truly grateful for their positive attitude on doing business during holiday periods. We will be back here again.

Misty Lodge is primarily accommodation but has a great little restaurant. We all ate burgers, which were excellent 8/10. Cheese and bacon. One guest plumped for a steak who remarked that it was indeed tender and cooked evenly medium rare. Perfect. They had an open fire, which added to the atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

Small rooms. You can hear everything the neighbors are talking about. Sound from upstairs and all sides. If u spend time for dinner you will hear the same song again and again and again. Btw they don’t have plain rice and no gravy, the steak is so thin but yet difficult to cut through. Only drinks with sugar for sale here!

We LOVED this place. So cozy and warm. It was definitely worth being a little out of downtown to stay here. It was a nice place to come back to and eat or just sit by the fire after a day of spelunking or just hiking around.

Misty Lodge is a nice cozy lodge with a fireplace in the dining area. But it ends there. When we made reservations, we were asked to deposit 50% of the total bill. However when we were paying our bills, we were charged more than the balance of 50%. When we asked why we were told that we stayed in bigger rooms which we never asked for in the first place. We were being charged for something we did not request to begin with. Then we were charged for towels for each day and soap was for sale. We felt we should have been told about these details upon booking. Food is good but expensive. Brewed coffee is P70.00 per cup. Bathrooms are unmentionable. They don't really think its a big deal to have toilets that are unflushable. We had to share a bathroom on the ground floor with dining guests. How did they expect us to flush toilets by pouring buckets of water -we are senior citizens. OMG!!! I think they should refund us because we are so unhappy with their accomodations.

Stayed in their cottage room (beside the main lodge / house) and the other room is in 3rd floor (if i remember it right) from February 26-28, 2016 upon recommendation of a friend and upon reading good reviews here in Tripadvisor.
Well to start of and to be fair enough here are the good points:
1. The lodge gives you a homey feel, as they say "home" away from home.
2. Nice interior design.
3. Yogurt is great.
4. Accommodated my request for massage service (sourced out somewhere).
Now, here's the sad part of my stay at the lodge.
1. We were asked what time will we arrive and informed Ms. Sigrid that it would be around 12nn. Upon arrival at around 10:20am, it is expected that rooms are not yet ready and we were informed that check out time is 11am so we willingly waited. Its already 11:30am and we inquired if room is ready but guests are still in only to find out that they are allowing guest up to 12nn before check out. Hope we were informed the REAL check out time.
2. Upon entering the cottage room we were saddened by the DIRTY BATHROOM.
3. Other companions shares with out bathroom due to LONG lines in common bathroom in the main house (take note even at 2am).
4. Ordered for dinner for our group. All orders were served except for MY ORDER. When followed up, according to Ms. Sigrid's sister (their cook) its already cooked (so how come they don't serve it???) They haven't written all orders? They cannot track which are served and not? I remember they haven't asked for apology but inform me that they will just serve it instead. Will you still have the appetite to EAT ALONE and in TOTAL darkness (brownout)?
5. The lodge does not have generator (understandable for small lodge like this).
6. We experienced brownout for around 46 minutes and yet no info received from the lodge on what's happening.
7. The lodge has not checked on us during brownout, has not even offered a lamp or a flashlight since we are apart from the main house and we have a 4-year old companion while we are seeing the main house with lamps from all the floors.
A trip like this in Sagada is a rare moment for our family so we'd like to enjoy it as much including the place where we stayed but unfortunately we have encountered these sad experiences.
May these comments served as a learning point for the lodge to improve further their services.
Well, missed food order may be unintentional yet flaws like this will mark on guests like me.
Poor customer service in handling situations on power interruptions has also created a bad impression on the entire lodge, we know that it is not your fault but checking on guests and updating them on what's happening and what was done to address the situation will somehow comfort your guests. Offering them a lamp or flashlight or even an emergency lamp (if you have) is also necessary specially on the cottage room as it is a separate structure.

This was my home for 3 nights. Owned and operated by a very hard-working and charming family. I did not get to eat most of my meals here so I cannot comment on the meals, however, the cream cheese burger with fries were good. Their yoghurt was also yummy. The guest reviews about the home-cooked meals are very positive, though. Mico, a family member, has put his culinary skills to good use. All members of the family live in the house and I guess this is why the lodge has a homey feel because it IS a home to a family. This is important to remember to manage your expectations. This lodge is not for picky travelers who expect 5-star amenities. First of all, one must remember that Sagada is not a resort. It is a community that has learned to be tolerant of tourists.
Sigrid, my lovely hostess, informed me that it took them 6 years to finish their home. In Dec 2011, hardly a year old from the day it was completed, a family knocked on their door to ask if they could be accommodated because all hotels and inns in town were fully booked. They opened their home to these strangers and this is how the lodge's story began.
Tips: The balcony is great for just hanging out in the late afternoon, with a cup of coffee (or a mug of beer) and a good book.
Toilet & bath (I know there are 2) are common so you either wake up very early or very late if you do not want to stand in queue.
The lodge is a short distance to the small falls (Bokong Falls) and Kiltepan Viewpoint (great view of the sunrise).
The lodge is a good 15 min walk to town. If you are not used to taking long walks, you might regret the location. I did but only on my first day. By the 2nd day, I started to enjoy the walks to town and back. By the end of my vacation, I regretted leaving because I would miss my walks to town. You can also hitch a ride with the passenger jeepneys that drive to town from Bontoc. You can offer to pay the fare but it is likely that the driver would refuse your payment (simply because they are not used to people hitching rides for very short distances.) If you want to buy souvenirs, ask your hosts about suppliers of good quality yet reasonably priced items.
If you are happy with your stay, accept the invitation to write about your experience in their guestbook. Leave your number. My hostess texted me to find out if I have arrived safely in Manila!

1st time we stayed at a lodge and we were hesitant of the place. Simply said, some of the reviews did not do justice to the place.
Misty lodge has given us the best comfort we ever asked for in a lodge. The cottage was comfortable and cosy. Peaceful and beautiful. Away from the busy town hall. Yumi and heidi were great host. Always helping us with our queries and gave a lot of advice regarding the tours we planned on taking. Not only us but we believe that other guest can vouch for us.
The food served was awesome. From the all day breakfast, to the burgers and pizzas. Every dish we ordered were never a disappointment. Wouldn't recommend eating elsewhere. Considering me (arfan) being a pain about the food i eat. Cleanliness and taste is great! Their yoghurt is a must to try!!
Thumbs us to Misty Lodge and we hope to come back here again one day soon with friends and family!
Keep the spirit of this lodge alive always!
Ps: Just need to get better wifi. 😉
With love,
Arfan and Aneeqa Zil (Singapore)

While my family did not stay at the lodge, we dined here several times during our stay in Sagada. Service was great and the food was excellent! Everything was fresh and home made; from the pizza to the pasta and burgers. Bogan, the cook, always prepared the freshest dishes. This place was a popular place for our family that we requested to have the burgers for a packed lunch the following day when we visited the rice terraces. It's certainly one of the best places to eat in Sagada! Awing and his wife were very accommodating and made sure my family had a great experience in Sagada.
