What is supplied with a cabin rental?
All cabins come fully equipped with all cooking, serving and eating utensils. Cabins have propane stoves, electric fridges, and cold running water. When you rent any one of the cabins you will get the use of one rowboat and electric motor.
Do you have power?
Yes, but not full-time. The power is supplied by a generator from 7am – 10pm. Then some solar lights come on inside and outside of the cabin for approximately 2-3hours.
There are portable generators available for $30 per night for the use of a C pap machine ONLY.

The beds are made up with fresh fitted sheets, pillows and pillowcases for each guest. Bring your own blankets/bedding or sleeping bags. If you forget your bedding it can be rented for an additional fee of $20 per person.

All of the 1 & 2 bedroom cabins rely on a central washhouse with hot showers and flush toilets. Portable potties are available upon request.

The Rustic Resort is supplied by an underground deep well. Our water is gravity fed through filters to each cabin. There is a 5 gallon jug of chlorinated drinking water for each cabin. Additional bottles are available at the lodge for $10 each.
Do you sell any supplies at all?
There is a small gift shop in the Thuya Lakes Lodge with flies, tackle, ice, chips, candy, water bottles, personal care items, things that you may have forgotten and of course our swag!

What’s the road like to the lodge?
This is a good rocky gravel forest service road with some potholes along the way. Take your time on the road and leave your sports car at home so you do not have a problem. We are 21k off the highway 24 pavement.
What about pets?
Pets are welcome, for an additional $20 fee. We ask that you don’t leave your pets unattended at any time during your stay. Dogs must be on a leash when outside of your cabin out of respect to the other guests. Please pick up after them and please don’t allow them on the furniture in the cabins!
What about camping?
We only have two camping spots available for a truck and camper or trailer. We have one lakefront campsite with a tent platform overlooking the lake.
