Trappers Lake Lodge has a total of 15 cabins for rent. Sizes vary from one bed cabins to four bed cabins. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway in a cozy cabin or an adventure filled family vacation, Trappers Lake Lodge can do both!

The Lodge is our onsite public restaurant. It serves a hearty hot buffet breakfast, full menu lunch, and full menu dinner, 7 days a week from 7:30am to 7:30pm. Ask anyone who has ever dined with us, we are famous for our Elmo’s Margaritas and tender Prime Rib dinner.

We are a full house on weekends, so don’t forget to make a reservation!

Lodging and dining aren’t the only things to do at Trappers Lake Lodge. Take a horseback trail ride with one of our guides, paddle Trappers Lake in one of our boats, or experience life as a mountain man when you camp out at one of our Wilderness Summer Camps. We are also known for our excellent fishing waters, and hiking trails.
