I loved staying in the cabin - I had my own bathroom, and no noisy neighbors! And waking up to the birds and squirrels was just so nice!!

Nice welcome

We were able to check-in a bit early which was very convenient. Our bush plane flight came in at noon from Eagle and our flight to Seattle did not leave until 12:15am so we needed a room for just a few hours to shower and repack.

A check-in staff member was wearing a mask. I am older and have difficulty hearing. When I asked her to repeat things I couldn’t hear to understand, she became irritated, rude, and sarcastic. Interact with the same person in the morning, and their behavior continues.

A truly great little gem. I had a cabin near the lodge and it was wonderful. I was in town for work so I didnt really get to spend all that much time there but I can tell you this, the time I did spend there was quiet, tranquil, and relaxing. I worked 19 hours the first day I was in town and I couldnt have found a better place to get home to afterwards.
