Overview of all lodges in general

All of our lodges are custom designed and built of dead standing Engelmann Spruce Logs and Log Siding proportionally located on the property for great views, natural light, and privacy from other guests. 

 They all feature:

 Inside -- Fine interior with custom wood work design.   Full kitchen with dishwasher, large microwave, and gas ranges or cook top with convection, coffee maker, and most common utensils and cookware.  Also table settings, dishes, and towels for average occupancy.   Washer/Dryer in utility room/closet.   Heat as you go, unlimited hot water.   Hand made Log/Log siding beds with Pillow top mattress & fine linens.   Custom tile throughout house and bathrooms.   TVs with Dish network receivers and DVD, kid’s areas have TVs DVD&VHS.   In a nutshell, most everything like your own home – you just bring the food and other specialty items.

 Outside -- Spacious decks and porches including screen-porches with therapeutic grade Hot Tub Spa and gas grill and peripheral seating.  The decks extending from great rooms are designed to entertain larger groups than average occupancy if hosting others not staying at the lodge or from other lodges if group is renting more than one lodge and need a central local to entertain.   This area varies with each lodge.   Individual Lodge Fire pit areas provide extra seating near deck area.
