Thermostatically-controlled heat ensures your total comfort. Each cabin is equipped also with a VCR and DVD player and a 19" monitor. These cabins and accommodations allow you to get a good night's rest for the exciting day ahead tomorrow.Dinners like one would find in finer restaurants are served in the main lodge. The bell for breakfast rings early for anglers anxious to get out and fly fish. For lunch, the guides will fillet up a fresh caught salmon from the morning and grill it to perfection for a wonderful shore lunch. At the end of the day, dining and relaxing in the lodge provides the perfect setting for many pleasant moments of conversations and memories.
