Those cabins nroth of Lava Mountain are not in any way associated with the lodge. In fact the woman who owns them is anti-snowmobile, but she will rent them out. As a groomer in the area, we have had problems with her purposly plowing snow accross the trail( over 6 ft banks) causing sledders to have to go in the highway to get around.
When I asked her to not plow accross the trail, she exploded and told me to f@#k off.
If you support snowmobiling, I would aviod her. Even the state trails guys have had a problem with her trying to damage the trail, and being unco-opertive.
If you need a place to stay, Lava Mountain Lodge has rooms and cabins. Or you can go to Togwotee Lodge.
Just thought I'd let you know before you book anything.
