The Lodge

Perched on the banks of the Buffalo River, the Lodge feels almost built into the riverbank. Huge east-facing windows catch the morning light, cedar walls keep things warm and simple, and the river is always just outside.

Spend the morning with coffee on the patio, float the Buffalo in the afternoon, then come back to a record, a bath, and the wood-burning stove.
