The Lodge was built in 1926 from timber harvested from the Gorge and milled at the Bridal Veil Mill.
"... The lodge exterior is faced in horizontal rough-planed siding, stained dark brown. Multi-paned casement windows cover the front, and a porch stretches the full length of the building, then adorned with planter boxes filled with geraniums, sweet peas, and flowering beans climbing up the fir-pole supports. Inside, the large front room on the main floor (which was the restaurant) is constructed of rough-cut board-and-batten with hemlock floors, kept shining with periodic swathings of hot linseed oil. Small black painted tables with turned legs and simple chairs with rawhide bottoms were placed along the windows and throughout the room. A wraparound counter also seated customers ..."

In 2014, the Lodge was put up for sale by Slater. I am not sure how all that played out, but the bed and breakfast is still operating.
