It is open from May 1 to October 1 by reservation only. It has accommodations for 30 people, a large kitchen, dining room, living room, covered porch, stone fireplace and chimney, and 9 acres of land. The lodge was originally used by Wyoming Boy Scouts as a recreational camp. Later it was used by churches, social groups, and businesses.

The south fork of Crow Creek lies nearby, with a granite outcrop and woodlands of cedar and spruce. ()
