Sounds to rustic... Not really...The lodge is very comfortable. Rates for rooms with private bathrooms start at about $130 per night, while rates for rooms with shared bathrooms about $80 per night. The lodge can get busy on the weekends or on a holiday.

Sit by the towering stone fireplace and watch the snow fall.The lodge is also fairly famous, it has made an appearance in a number of films including, The Shinning, Hear No Evil, Bend of the River, and All the young Men.
