Powderhounds Lodge
Powderhounds Lodge features traditional Dinner Plain alpine architecture and is great for families and small groups. It has 2 bedrooms plus loft, 2 bathrooms, and sleeps up to 8, although it's most ideally suited to 4-5 guests sleeping in the 2 bedrooms.
The living area has rustic and cosy alpine décor that is typical of Dinner Plain with an open stone fireplace, exposed beams, and other natural timber features. Sit in front of the fire, or the oversized window seats/day beds are highly likely to lure you into complete relaxation mode!
You can bring your dog to Dinner Plain Village and Powderhounds Lodge is partially dog friendly. Your dog can stay in the heated foyer.
Where is Powderhounds Lodge?

Dinner Plain and the living area overlooks a reserve where the kids (or the big kids) can make a snowman or have a snowball fight during winter.
