MHL Update Regarding COVID-19

April 15th

We wanted to take a moment to share with you what we are doing at the Lodge during the COVID-19 closure and plans we are making for the resort once the travel bans are lifted.

As you may know, MHL has been closed since November 17, 2019.  We had planned to re-open April 10, 2020 for the 2020 season, but that was halted with the “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” orders from our governor in response to the pandemic.  Currently Governor Inslee’s order expires at the end of May 4th.  At this time, it is unknown if the “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” orders will stay in place or be extended due to the governor’s decision to participate in the Western Pact of Governors.

Please note that Mountain Home Lodge will not re-open to accept guests until we have an “all clear” from our local authorities and feel that the local community is again ready to welcome visitors to ensure everyone has a safe and wonderful experience.

Our staff are working with us daily in anticipation of our season opening, whenever that will be.  In addition to our normal deep cleaning of the resort, we have set in place additional sanitizing protocol for all guest rooms, cabins and common areas to ensure everyone’s safety.  

MHL is fortunate due to our location on the mountain with only 10 rooms and 2 private cabins.  The resorts privacy and seclusion is an asset during this time of uncertainty, as it has always been, to ensure a special getaway. We can limit our exposure and maintain quality cleanliness.   

The tourism industry forecast currently states that regional travel by car will be the dominant form of travel for the foreseeable future.  Traveling in the comfort of your own vehicle to vacation destinations a short distance away, that offer a unique experience, are ideal.  

We, like you, and many others in hospitality are anxious to reopen.  However, we know that we must be patient to ensure everyone’s well being.  Each person’s health and safety is our #1 priority and we will not let economic needs be our driving force to re-open.

What does the future hold for Mountain Home Lodge?  YOU we hope!  When that will be is anyone’s guess at this time.  Currently we are working with the presumed date of May 5th to re-open.  Reservations are being confirmed throughout the summer and into the fall.  We are working closely with our guests if they need to reschedule due to the current COVID-19 situation. In addition, we have waived our cancellation fees pertaining to any such cancellations. We will continue to do so moving forward should the “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order be extended.

We hope this MHL update enlightens you on our priorities and most importantly that it finds you, and the ones you love, safe and healthy.  These are uncharted times for all of us. It can be overwhelming, but remember we are all in this together.  We are here daily 9am-6pm so please feel free to reach out with any questions, or just to say “hi”!  We plan to update this link as information is delivered and we have new updates to share. 

Sending you peace and calm from the Mountain,

Brad & Kathy
