Stay Small, Stay Safe, Stay Inn during Covid-19

Especially during Covid-19 times, we believe small bed & breakfasts provide a safe haven for cleanliness and avoiding crowds. We have always prided ourselves on cleanliness and the neatness of the lodge. Due to Covid-19 issues, in addition to the stringent standards we have always adhered to, we have added additional cleaning procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of all our guests and staff during your stay.

Please read our updated Covid policies below.
