Guest who smoke in their room will be charged a $50 or more smoking fee for additional cleaning and possible replacement of linens that smell of smoke. Any drug paraphernalia found in rooms during cleaning or after check out will be reported to the proper authorities and a report will be made.
Bicycle Policy
For our guests who have bicycles, we kindly ask that bicycles not be taken into the rooms. Unfortunately, we no longer allow bicycles in rooms due to ripped and heavily soiled bedding and carpets, and improper use of sinks and bathtubs for bicycle cleaning purposes.
We have two bike racks on the premises (we do not provide locks) as well as a covered carport where bikes can be parked. If you prefer a more secure location, please inquire about locking your bicycles in our shed under the carport.
We kindly ask that you please not use Lodge bath and handtowels to clean bikes, if a bike cleaning is needed our lobby will happily provide cleaning rags upon request.
We understand that this is a new policy for our guests who are long-time riders of the trail however, damages to bedding, walls, and bathrooms have become increasingly worse.
We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Our new owners and managers are working hard to provide a better storage option in the near future. Please be patient as we make all the necessary updates and repairs needed to make Lakeview Lodge an even more enjoyable place to stay.
