Had a great time in Salmon Leap Lodge. After letting the owner know our appr arrival time, we have arrived at a pre heated lodge and some lights on since it was already dark outside. The neighbour, Sue, came around to say hi and also provide some extra info, which we were very greatful for. Everything was very clean and looked very tidy. When back to this area, we will definitaly stay there again.
