We are happy to share our Local Partners Services Guide that expands on the Featured Local Partners list on our website. There are many amazing businesses in the area offering everything from rock climbing and kayaking, to trail rides, dining experiences, cultural experiences and more. We are also working on developing our outdoor spaces so they are as beautiful and functional as the lodge itself - imagine wildflower gardens, picnic areas in the trees, and additional walking trails.
Our lodge has 4 bedrooms, each with the ability for double occupancy (maximum of 8 occupants). Each room has a separate bathroom. We do have a local partner (just 2.5 miles away) that we can work with to accommodate larger groups.
Our primary clients have been fishing and adventure guides, yoga/meditation facilitators, and small groups seeking bespoke getaways. We are looking to expand into the realm of wellness and artist groups.
Yes, we can accommodate most dietary needs and preferences. If someone in your group has very specific dietary needs, please contact us so we can discuss further.
Unfortunately our lodge is not well set up for individuals with mobility issues. We do have one bedroom in the walkout basement, but access to the rest of the house requires the use of one or more staircases.
