A: Yes, there are heated mattress covers and space heaters inside the tipis to ensure comfortable sleeping conditions.
Q: Can guests store food in the tipis?
A: No, to prevent attracting wildlife we strongly enforce policies regarding the storage, consumption, and disposal of food and food-related waste. For this reason, we ask that no food be brought into the tipis or the tipi yard. However, we do provide opportunities for guests to store their food in the refrigerator or pantry located within the lodge.
Q: Is there a restaurant on site?
A: We offer a complimentary continental breakfast each morning to start your day off right. In the evenings, guests love gathering for an authentic cowboy cookout at a nearby working ranch, just up the road from our property. This special experience is available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. For reservations and availability, visit our Activities page.
Q: Are there facilities to cook and prepare food?
A: Due to the diversity of our guests and their varying levels of experience co-existing with wildlife, we have intentionally limited the ability to cook meals on site. Instead, we encourage our guests to explore and take advantage of the many local dining options that are just minutes away from the property. These options offer a variety of cuisines that are sure to satisfy any appetite, and contribute to supporting our small town, family owned business community. Should guests truly prefer to prepare their own meals, we do have a guest refrigerator, pantry and microwave available for convenience.
Q: Can guests bring take-out meals back to the property?
A: Yes, guests are welcome to bring take-out meals back to enjoy on the property. We encourage exploring the great local restaurants nearby. Your support helps our small family-owned businesses thrive. During summer, wait times can be long, so grabbing food to go and enjoying it back at the lodge is a popular option.
