Best White River Accommodations and Rates
Come make memories you will remember forever!
- Much higher level of privacy than you’ll find at other resorts.

- Cabins with hot tubs and porch fireplaces.
- Newly built (2006) and nicely furnished cabins.
- a FREE Canoe/Kayak Rental Day and FREE use of spincast and fly rods. Limited quantities available, please let us know in advance.

With six bedrooms and six private baths, our White River Lodge will sleep from 3 to 20 in comfort, and our cabins are cozy!!

TV, but no television signal. The Lodge has satellite TV, and DVD’s.

Our Policies
Reservation Deposit – A deposit of 50% and a credit card number is required to guarantee all reservations.
Our satisfaction Guarantee. If you arrive and something has been misrepresented within this website, we will fully refund your deposit and you have no obligation to stay with us.
Free canoe/kayak rental day policy. We have 2 canoes and 2 kayaks that are our guests to use for one day at no charge. Please check the availabilty for the dates you want when making your reservations. Reservations are made to hold the boats on a first come basis. If no other guests have reserved or used the boats they may be available for additional free rental days. Shuttle service is not included, but can be provided for a small fee of $25 for 1 or 2 boats, $35 for 3 or 4 boats.
Please read our cancellation policy below. I know it sounds a little strict, but we’ve learned some folks make reservations without much thought or planning and then cancel. We hold you responsible all reservations , but if you book a guided fishing trip or boat rental and the weather or river conditions are unsafe, we don’t hold you responsible for those bookings, and that policy is generally more forgiving than most resorts in the area.
Cancellation or Early Departure Policy – Because we do not have the road visibility that hotels do, we rely heavily on your commitment to the dates you reserve. Once you give us a deposit, we begin turning other potential customers away.
- We don’t want anyone to have to travel in hazardous conditions, if the Highway Patrol for a state you must travel through issues a * ”hazardous driving conditions exist” warning, we will NOT hold you accountable for your reservation. This may or may not be the case for a departure, but we want you safe and we will look at each case individually.
- Any cancellations or changes may be made up until 30 days prior to arrival and we will return your deposit, less a $25 cancellation fee.
- Cancellations made less than 30 days prior to arrival, if we can rebook your reservations we will refund your deposit, less a $25 cancellation fee.
- If cancellations are made less than 30 days prior to arrival, and we cannot rebook your reservations, you will forfeit your deposit.
- Reservations booked 30 or fewer days before arrival will have 24 hours to make any change or cancellation.
- No shows or early departures due to inclement (see first bullet above*)weather will be charged for all reservations.
Damages – We hope you will leave our accommodations just as you found them. All other rentals should be returned in the same condition that you received them. The guest who made the reservations is ultimately responsible for any damages found during or after your stay. Should we find any damages, we will contact you and your credit card will be charged accordingly.
