About

Experience Magic | Make Memories Trout Tales Lodge is a breathtaking cabin offering a wonderful feeling of seclusion along scenic Mountaintown Creek in a private gated enclave. Our cabin offers expansive outdoor space with decks on all 3 stories and riverside! Watch the geese glide into land, browse at the deer grazing in the meadow, catch a glimpse of the Blue Heron, cool off with a swim in the river, bring a tube and float your stress away, cast your line in our STOCKED Trophy Trout Stream.

Good to know

Enjoy all this from a five-star cabin that includes details such as professional hair care products, luxurious bedding and towels, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, a game room with a pool table, a movie room with a large Smart TV, three fireplaces(one firepit) to choose from, a wide assortment of board games, poker set, cards, a luxury Hot Tub, 2 king and 1 Queen masters all with full bathrooms and access to outdoor decks overlooking the river. You simply will not find a nicer cabin in a more idyllic setting. Note the movie room on the lower level includes a Twin over Full Bunk Bed and the upstairs loft includes a twin size daybed with a trundle underneath. IMPORTANT- Please note that our base rate is for 5 people and that the rate increases $15 per night per each additional Guest above 5 up to 10 total Guests or up to an additional $75 per night. This allows us to offer a more reasonable rate for smaller parties. DOG- While we do allow ONE dog it must be 50 pounds or less and at least 2 years old. We require the completion of our Dog Form which includes uploading a Vet Health Certificate confirming the dog's breed, age, weight, and that its vaccinations are current along with a photo of the dog. Note that there is a pet fee of $35/night with a $70 minimum charge per stay that will be charged at the time of booking. Any balance for additional nights above 2 will be collected when the Dog Form is received. Finally, we reserve the right to restrict certain breeds. Dogs should not wander freely onto other properties. Most of us have dogs and are dog lovers, but the liability and unpredictable consequences of roaming animals make this unacceptable. Please use your upmost discretion to be respectful of our neighbors and their properties.

Other Details to Note

We offer Fiber Internet allowing speeds that will keep all guests connected and happy! Please note that while access to the cabin is generally easy on ALL paved roads, the driveway to the cabin is steep but is also fully paved. 4-Wheel Drive is NOT necessary.

Awesome! It was a beautiful cabin cabin. Me and the fiance didnt even hear a peep from our daughter and her friends because they were in there own little space in the basement! All in all a wonderful place to get away from the city !

Beautiful location! Plenty of room for our group, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the games/pool table and the fireplace deck. The host checked in often and made sure we were comfortable. There were a lot of nice touches to this home!

The cabin is beautiful, detailed instructions were given to get to it but Waze took us right to the footstep. First step into cabin felt like wow we really are in an awesome mountain cabin. Kitchen is very well equipped,that was a big plus. Lots of games available for both adults n children . We loved the pool table. It was a joy sitting on the beautiful deck, listening to the river flowing . One does not even need to explore nearby areas, there’s so much to do within the cabin n surroundings . We talked about what a great place it would be for family reunions etc . Enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. Thanks for letting us have this wonderful experience .

This trip was nothing short of amazing. We originally booked a property through VRBO and it didnt work out so we were at a hotel with two dogs. I messaged Michael and he responded right away and we were able to head over to the property immediately. The cabin is beautiful, spacuous and fully stocked. It was very clean and we felt right at home. There's a huge outside dining space with a fireplace we used nightly. You can hear the stream from the balcony and the living room with the doors open. We were looking for a peaceful escape in the mountains and this place nailed it. Many afternoons were spend sipping wine by the stream or next to the fireplace. I wish I could leave a higher rating than 5 star. Our stay was PERFECT!
