Shining Mountain Lodge

Perfect for creative reflection, family get-togethers, romantic getaways and intimate weddings, Shining Mountain Lodge offers three spacious bedrooms, a recreation room with daybed that converts to a king bed, two bathrooms and comfortably accommodates six to eight people. A few hundred feet from the lodge is a self-contained bunkhouse with full kitchen and laundry facilities. The bunkhouse sleeps two adults and two children in the loft.

The lodge front door opens to a comfy foyer with deacon's bench that opens to the elegantly rustic gourmet's kitchen, dining room and sunken living room. Logs and knotty pine adorn the soaring ceilings and the large windows open to views of mountains in all directions. There is an authentic Lakota tipi snuggled amongst the cottonwoods in a coulee below the lodge. The tipi sleeps four and has its own campfire pit.

The lodge is tastefully appointed with leather couches, Amish-made tables and chairs artistically crafted in hickory, walnut, oak and 150-year old recycled timbers. The arts and crafts of local and northwest artisans fill the lodge as proprietor's Gary and Vicky Holland also own Shining Mountain Gallery a few miles away in the historic town of Pray. A cozy gas stove warms the room when evenings get chilly. A nice selection of books and videos, games, puzzles and CD's provide entertainment after the day's adventures. There is a private telephone, answering machine and computer hook-up for your convenience.
