Best White River Lodge For Groups, Family Reunions, Corporate Meetings
Our White River Lodge will sleep from 3 to 20 in comfort and is unique in that it has a private bathroom in every bedroom. Many groups that have stayed with us tell us that the private bath was an important point in their decision making process.
You can take half (3 bedrooms) of the Lodge, or the whole thing (6 bedrooms). This feature makes it very affordable for smaller groups of 12 or less.
The Lodge is split into two sides, in a “Suite” configuration. The two suites may
be connected by opening adjoining doors. Each suite has three bedrooms, each
with a private bathroom, a completely furnished kitchen with full sized
appliances, dining area and living area.. Both suites have a dining table for 6 – 8. BBQ grills are just off the front porch. Of course all towels and linens are furnished.
You’ll find a WiFi internet connection, TV with basic satellite reception and dvd. 20′ River Jon boats with 20hp outboards, and guided fishing services are on site. Grocery stores, ATM, and restaurants are close by. You can see more restaurant info on our “Things to do” page.
Our satisfaction Guarantee. If you arrive and something has been misrepresented within this website, we will refund your deposit and you have no obligation to stay with us.
We have named the suites Meadow View and Trout’s End. Each suite is nearly identical in the common areas with the exception of décor. They do vary in the way we have set up the number of beds.
Meadow View will sleep 12 guests. All 3 bedrooms have one queen and two twins bunked.
Trout’s End will sleep 8 guests. Two bedrooms have one queen. The third bedroom has 4 twins bunked.



Inside each bedroom you have a full sized private bathroom with a tub/shower unit and toilet. Just outside the bathroom door is a single sink vanity. There is a small open closet space for hanging clothes in the corner behind the door. Each bedroom has a antique dresser or chest of drawers.
The White River sits 200 yards in front of the Lodge. See the aerial photo below. In front off the Lodge are 2 acres of open mowed grass. It offers a great place to play horseshoes, washers, badminton, yard golf, or just toss a football around.

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.
