About this place

Direct ATV/snowmobile trail access with trailer parking. On-site Pub Lounge: Thurs 4–9, Fri 4–9, Sat 12–9 with food, drinks & events. Some sound may carry—no complaints so far, but don’t book if that may be an issue. Ask about private 1920s theater time! 🎬

The space
Stay in a 130-year-old historic treasure that sat vacant for two decades before we began bringing it back to life. The building has its quirks—slightly uneven floors, the occasional creak—but that’s part of its story. Every detail reflects the character, charm, and history you won’t find anywhere else.

We realize our rates may seem a little higher than expected, but each stay helps fund the ongoing restoration of this incredible building. This isn’t just our livelihood—it’s also a community effort to preserve the Opera House for generations to come. We’re so grateful to our guests for being part of that story while enjoying a one-of-a-kind stay.

Please note: we’re not a polished hotel chain with a professional housekeeping staff—we’re regular folks working hard to make this place welcoming. The bed may not be dressed with perfect “hospital corners,” and things may not feel cookie-cutter, but we always clean and sanitize thoroughly so you can enjoy a safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared-for stay.

🍸 Lounge On Site
Our lounge features a full bar with great non-alcoholic choices and food service during open hours. Check the photos in the listing’s gallery to see the cozy space!
