Yes, although occasionally CalFire bans outdoor fires due to extreme fire danger. There is a large bon fire pit adjacent to the Pavilion, and your first fire is included with your rental. Thereafter, you can bring your own firewood or purchase additional firewood from us at $25/bundle.

The Lodge does not have laundry facilities available.
The lodge has WiFi but no TV. We do have lots of games and puzzles available for our guests to have quality time together. The password for the WiFi can be found in the “Guest Information Book” located in the Lodge and Cabins.

The Lodge kitchen if fully stocked with everything you should need – dishes, silverware, glassware, bowls, pot/pans, baking trays, blender, slow-cookers, waffle-maker, coffee-maker, mixer, etc. If you find that you want something that isn’t there, just ask and if we have it available, we are happy to bring it to you.
Yes, except in rare circumstances. Regular check-in is after 3 pm, and an earlier check-in can be provided upon request. Normal check-out is noon, but a later check-out (up to 6 pm) can be provided for an extra fee of $150.

There are 15 total beds of varying size in the lodge (including the sofa bed). If all double/queen beds sleep two people, the maximum number of people the lodge can sleep is 21. However, please note that there is an “extra guest” fee of $15/person/day after 13 people. This is to cover increased utility costs, linen fees, incidentals, and general cleaning. Children 5 and under are not included in these person counts or costs. Guests with more than the maximum amount are asked to rent additional cabin(s) or perhaps the group campground or RV pads
