Welcome to the 2010 season!

For those of you who have stayed or eaten with us in the past, we have some big changes. Here's what you need to know.

First, any guests staying at our cabins that are not part of an all-inclusive package need to make meal reservations either with our office at the time of reservation, or upon arrival at River Dance Lodge, no later than the day prior to the desired meal. The nearest grocery store is 15 miles away and we do not sell food items in our souvenir shop, so we welcome you to make reservations and enjoy your meals at the lodge dining room.

We will open May 7th starting with dinner. Thereafter we are open as follows:

Saturday & Sunday Lunch: We are open for lunch Saturday and Sunday from 11am until 5pm. Our menu will feature five or six options. Reservations for the weekend lunch are not required, but recommended. Call us at 926-4300. We will have our legendary huckleberry pie available!

Dinner Served Nightly: Every day dinner is served with one seating, starting with appetizers at 7:00 PM. Reservations are required and must be made at least one day ahead of time. Seating is limited. Dinners are a fixed menu served either family style or buffet style, depending on how many guests we have. There will be appetizers, a main course, salad, side, dessert and non-alcoholic fountain beverages. Price is $19 ($12 for children under 12). Tax, alcoholic beverages and gratuity are not included. Please see sample menu below.

Breakfast: Breakfast is served by reservation, for our cabin guests only, daily from 8:00 to 9:30 except on days with rafting trips departing at 8:00 am in which case breakfast will be available starting at 7:00. Breakfast is $9 ($6 for children under 12). Tax and gratuity are not included.

Lunches: Lunches are provided on all daily activities. Otherwise, box lunches may be ordered in advance to enjoy in your cabin or take with you if you’re exploring on your own. The Syringa Cafe is open for lunch only on Saturday and Sunday.

Please note: Any guests staying at our cabins that are not part of an all-inclusive package need to make meal reservations either with our office at the time of reservation, or upon arrival at River Dance Lodge, no later than the day prior to the desired meal.

May – June Lochsa Season Special

On Friday and Saturday during the Lochsa rafting season of May and June, those rafting with us return to the Lodge sometime between 4:00 and 5:00 pm. For the next couple of hours we show photos from the day’s rafting excitement in the lodge dining area. Beer, wine, other beverages and light appetizers are available for sale during this time. Then, for those with reservations, we serve dinner. This begins at 7:00 pm with appetizers.

Fantastic All-Inclusive Packages:

Our focus at River Dance Lodge is all-inclusive vacation packages that are a fantastic value. For a group of four it comes to less than $150 per person per day including rustic-luxury accommodations in our hand-crafted log cabins, all meals and all activities. Each day we offer guests the choice of participating in our “Adventure Series” or “Explorer Series.” The Explorer Series is less active and includes excursions to sites of natural, cultural or historical interest along with easy walking. The Adventure Series offers activities such as rafting, hiking, kayaking or biking. Guests choose their desired activity for the next day at an evening meeting with our guides.
