Other Useful Information
- Open fires are not allowed during the fire season in Mariposa County. Please refrain from campfires until fire season has concluded in the Fall
- Due to the extreme drought in California, the creek in the direct vicinity of the lodge can be dry in summers. The water comes back farther downstream, just a 15min hike. The water still runs farther upstream by the "pot hole" swimming holes and by the upper swimming hole
- The closest medical facility is at least 30 minutes away, so either be aware and be prepared for those with underlying medical conditions or needs
-We are proud to be a dog-friendly property and would be happy to accommodate your pet for a small additional fee. Please inquire when you book your stay for more information
