Testimonials

“My Mother and I stayed two nights at the Wuksachi Lodge in the Silliman building recently. The views and surrounding environment were spectacular. The cuisine at the Lodge was wonderfully tasty and well prepared. Lola, our server both days, was very friendly and a great server. The room was nice and our view of the forest was second to none. We really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend it to anyone.”
