Rental information

Surrounded by trees, mountain peaks, and a grassy lawn, Lost Lake is a little piece of paradise amidst the bustling resort. There is a secluded area that is ideal for corporate and special events, like weddings.

Note: this area is unavailable in mid to late July and August due to the Western Toad migration. The exact timing varies from year to year.
