A full kitchen is at your disposal with included spices, coffee, tea and sugar. A propane BBQ grill is available right outside the kitchen door.

The property is just as advertised. Such a cool experience to stay in this incredibly unique property. We woke up to bighorn sheep every morning and the sunsets were beautiful! Great dog friendly property and my 10 year old absolutely loved the “coziness.” I personally don’t love gas fireplaces, but “wow,” they nailed it!!! Super cool!!! We will be back!

What a wonderful location. Could not have been more relaxing. Accommodations were better than advertised. Staff at the Gorge were very helpful (and the food at the cafe was really good). Recommend going offseason. We had the whole canyon to ourselves, except for the deer we said hi to every morning out our front door.

The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook wonderful meals. Nice air fryer was an added touch. It was great that it was pet friendly. One of the most spectacular stays we have ever had. Cannot top the views. I have no words to describe the beauty. The place was super clean and beautiful. It had everything we needed and then some. Stay couldn't have been any better. We HIGHLY recommend.

Adult Sibling Vacay!

We selected this lodge for our stay and were not disappointed. The views are fantastic, the wildlife was amazing, and the location could not be beat. Three siblings and spouses, total of six guests, staying for 5 days. We used the Lodge as our home base as we explored the area. It was everything we needed and more. The home was clean and comfortable. Could have used a few more kitchen items but we made it work just fine. I highly recommend this to all.
