Foodie road trips come in a variety of delicious adventures. But one thing they all have in common is the thrill of exploring new places as well as new restaurants. Mountain House Restaurant near Cleveland has all the makings of a fun experience that includes a winding trek up a scenic mountain, flavorful lunch choices, and a visit to a state park (only steps from the restaurant) with sweeping mountain views of the Blue Ridge Escarpment.
Mountain House at Caesars Head rests at the top of a mountain that peaks at just over 3,200 feet.
