Unexpectedly, this next week or two of bookings are looking rather sparse, especially as compared to the rest of the season! We’re as baffled as you are because the forecast is beautiful as all get out — but that just means you’re in luck!!

We dropped our prices during this little lull, something we almost never do. There’s no better time for a little va — or stay — cation! Shops and restaurants are open but the crowds haven’t yet arrived; so call/email/book online to snag a room in our little lodge on the water.

We can’t wait to have you. 💙

New merch alert! We’re starting this season with two new hoodies and two new tees, all with a mix of loved Falling Waters Lodge designs.

We have a range of sizes and unfortunately, each style fits differently. Your best bet for getting your hands on these is to drop into the office (9-6 daily), but email/phone are also options.

Seven years later, Marek is launching his fourth restaurant – and the first in his home c...

Fake spring has us thinking of warmer days! Counting down the days until we reopen.

Our final weekend is upon us, y’all! We have a few rooms still available for any last second visits, and then we’ll be shutting her down for the winter.

No one mention the forecast and maybe we’ll be able to finish out the season without navigating any …weather. 🤞🏻❄️🫣
