The two-story lodge building is built in the shape of a cross. Constructed by local residents adjacent to the Million Dollar Highway, it was intended for use by various community organizations, including the Boy Scouts, but also including other youth groups.[3] Located in the San Juan National Forest,[1] the site is not now operated as a summer camp.

Sold into private hands in the 1930s, it is now a Christian retreat center.[4]
