FAQs - Our policies are subject to change

Is the Lodge open year round?
Yes, we are open all year long!

How big is the property?
The Lodge is 16 acres. Feel free to go trek around the property.

Do the units have cable TV service?
Unfortunately, no. In order to watch the big games, you'll have to go to the Highlander about 7 miles west.

Is there cell phone coverage in Ashford?
There is no Verizon, Sprint, AT&T or Tmobile cell phone coverage in Ashford. If you need to make a phone call, please feel free to use the red phone located just outside the Office.

Do you provide towels, linens, dishes, cups, cookware and utensils?
We do provide all of those things. However, you're welcome to provide your own. Also, we recommend that you bring extra towels and a sleeping bag. We provide a couple towels for each unit, but not enough for the larger groups. And as cold as it gets during the winter, a sleeping bag usually does a better job of keeping you warm than 2 or 3 blankets.

Do you provide soap, shampoo, conditioner and other toiletries?
We do NOT provide any of the above except for soap. Please bring your own shampoo, condition, toothpaste and other items as necessary.

Where is the closest restaurant?
The closest restaurant is the Gateway Inn, located between The Lodge and the entrance to Mt Rainier National Park. They also have a small grocery store there. However, they do close relatively early. We also recommend The Highlander back in town (head West).

What types of groups tend to rent out The Lodge?
We often have corporate conferences, retreats, churches, family reunions and weddings stay at The Lodge.

Is there minimum night stay?
In the Cabins, there's a 2 night minimum. In the Lodges, there is no minimum night stay.

Which activities are popular?
On-Site - You can play volleyball, badminton or any sports on the large field. Feel free to bring your sports gear. A lot of people bring their dirt bikes and ride them around Ashford. You're welcome to do so as well.

In Mt Rainier National Park - Many people go hiking, climbing, biking, snowshoeing in the National Park. My personal favorite is High Rock in Gifford Pinchot National Forest (not in Mt Rainier National Park).

Other options are fishing (Alder Lake and Mineral Lake), swimming, and boating.
