    If your party size exceeds the seating capacity, you must contact the park office Prior to Reserving, to determine whether the facility and amenities can accommodate your event. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the reservation and forfeiture of reservation transaction fees.

The lodge door is equipped with a key pad on the door handle which opens the locked door. No key is available to the lodge renter or needed for access.
