This restaurant used to be the former home of Al Capone, a home he purchased for his Mistress. Capone would stop here during his travels to Florida. This home is constructed with underground tunnels and an elaborate system in the basement for making liquor that he was bootlegging. Accounts from locals say he and John Dillinger played cards on the patio and had multiple ways to escape the hole if needed, including holes on the exterior walls for placing your feet if scaling a wall.

The hot tub did not work. The tv in the living room didn’t work either. And the cabin was very cold it was very drafty. But it was clean and and beautiful place. I would stay at the terra lodge again just maybe in a different cabin or I would love to try the dome.
