UPPER LODGE

The Upper Lodge serves as the central space for most stays at Scholls Valley Lodge, offering a balance of comfortable lodging and shared gathering areas.

With a warm, light-filled interior and access to both indoor and covered outdoor spaces, it provides a natural setting for groups to come together—whether for meetings, retreats, or time spent connecting.
