Covid Safety:
The whole campus, including the main lodge, is open 24 hours for all to use. We are not requiring masks at this time and are encouraging each person to navigate Covid the way that feels the safest for them and others. This is subject to change according to the latest CDC and Oregon State recommendations. Please bring a high quality mask and rapid tests in case you feel symptoms during your stay. Group meals will be served in the main lodge or on the patio with the option for folks to take their meal to their cabin if they prefer. If the risk level in Lake County returns to “high”, then masks may become mandatory indoors.
