The lodge's soaring ceilings, hand-carved woodwork and expansive views create an atmosphere of elegance and warmth. The adjacent 5,200-square-foot conference hall serves as an auditorium or theater, seating 62, perfect for corporate events, lectures, or film screenings. Situated atop a scenic hill, the Round House serves as the property's main home and commands stunning 360-degree views of Happy Canyon.
