Please note that our office is at the Lodge, however, often we are across the creek at the cabins.  If we are not at the Lodge upon your arrival, please check to see if we might be on the other side.  Please notify us of the expected time of your arrival, preferably 24 hours in advance of your reservations.  We prefer that you check in before dark.  During Antique Festivals, things often get hectic with the arrival of many guests at the same time, so we apologize in advance if we are not immediately available.  Please make yourself at home downstairs in the den, and we will be there directly.
