Rental Agreement & Damage Deposit
To help ensure a smooth and secure experience for both guests and hosts, we kindly require all confirmed guests to sign a short rental agreement. Additionally, a refundable damage deposit is due prior to arrival to cover any potential incidentals or damages. The full amount is returned after checkout, provided everything is in order.
Cell Service & Connectivity
Please note that The Forge Lake Lodge is nestled in the mountains where cell service is limited or unavailable. However, the home is equipped with reliable Wi-Fi and a landline telephone to keep you connected as needed during your stay.
Stock Up Before You Arrive
The nearest grocery store is about 25 minutes down the mountain, and the closest department store is around 40 minutes away. To make your stay more comfortable, we suggest picking up groceries and any essentials on your way to the lodge.
Mountain Road Access
The final 1.5 miles leading up to the lodge is a gravel mountain road. While it’s a beautiful and scenic drive, we recommend arriving in a vehicle that’s well-suited for mountain or gravel terrain, especially during inclement weather.
