First, did you have a car to get around? If not, how was the transportation...how did you get around, did you get to many places? The owner said that a lot of people go to a car auction and buy a car for the season up there. Any suggestions?
How about the size of the cabins, with 4 people in them? I'm bringing a day pack, backpack, and a suitcase...how is storage/space?
What about food? I know there are some places in Cooper Landing/Moose Pass but did you just eat at the lodge?
What is there to do around the lodge on days off? I know the lake is right there, but does the property have anything like a kayak or canoe?
Is it easy to get away on days off or did you find yourself stuck around the lodge?
What was the general age of the employees at the lodge? Were they primarily from the US or was there a lot of cultural diversity?
If you think of anything you could share about your experiences there, it would be great! Any information is good information! Thanks John and I hope you have a great summer!
