Skyline Lodge's storied past dates back to the mid-1930s, born from the vision of Arthur Kelsey, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the entrepreneurial spirit of Howard Randall. This architectural masterpiece, with its native stone and chestnut wood, originally served as an exclusive retreat for the wealthy who survived the 1929 stock market crash. After periods of disuse and revival, the lodge has become one with the natural environment and its doors are open to anyone looking for an experience that is both grounding and uplifting.
