Mount Sheba is an absolute gem and even more so now that we can take our dogs with us! The lodgings were perfectly clean and the staff super friendly. The hiking trails in the forest are well maintained and clearly marked.

Mount Sheba is set in the most exquisite surroundings, a unique forest. The hikes are amazing. The hotel is delightful, so pretty, clean and comfortable. We loved the fireplaces, the candle-lit dinners and caring and efficient staff. This is a hidden GEM. AMAZING and a must, must-visit.

This was not our first visit and certainly not our last. Every time the management, staff and service amaze me. Every request and task is done with great enthusiasm and pride. Their meals are outstanding whether served in the dining room or restaurant. The rooms with their fireplaces make every winter getaway and extremely pleasant experience. We can't wait to go back, thank you Mount Sheba, see you soon
