Mini Lodge & Mountain Cabin Upgrade
May 2, 2009
Work began in 2006 and we are almost finished! The cabins & minilodges received new roofs, paint, and windows. Mt. Cabins 1-3 have a connecting deck and new archways also grace the entry points of the whole village. The Mt. Cabins received new bunks & mattresses and new door locks. The final pieces of this project are to add porch entryways to cabins 7-9 and possibly new carpet in the lobbies of the minilodges. These facilities serve thousands of guests a year, particularly in the summer. We are grateful for the donations and support that allow us to give these vital facilities much needed care.

Honestly, it is exhausting to live and work with people where humility is not present. By contrast, ...
