The Ashley Lodge

LeAnn Goettle

A group of us "old girl cousins" spent the weekend of August 6, 7 and 8 in Ashley. Our "planner cousin" (thanks Beth!) booked us the first and third floor of the Ashley Lodge. I was so glad she did! The lodge was, for a very long time, a creamery. Now it's a very unique and beautiful lodge. Firstly the price couldn't be beat, even though the annual rodeo was also going on that weekend. When we arrived we were met by our very gracious lodge tour guide Jim, who made us all feel welcome while he showed us around our place for the weekend. The decor is really interesting. There's enough old brick and woodwork (along with many antique furnishings and decorations) to make you remember the building has history; the fridge, microwave, big screen TV and Wi-Fi made things comfortable. The beds were clean and very easy to sleep in. The old brick building is quiet as well. Every room was air conditioned to perfection in spite of the hot HOT days. Two restaurants within walking distance as well as a grocery store, bottle shop and two bars. We loved it so much we're making it a annual event! The only thing that could be construed as a problem is that it's not handicapped accessible. Even the step up into the building has a potential for being gnarly if there are any issues with mobility. Otherwise it's probably one of the best places to stay in the state! Five stars!!!

If you're into history and a nice quiet cozy place to stay I would highly suggest this place to anyone who comes through the Ashely area. The building is very beautiful and is very accommodating to any place I've stayed previously for work. The owner and manager and the townspeople are also very friendly. It is truly apart of North Dakota history and needs to be experienced by anyone traveling through the area or is here for fishing or hunting.

Stayed at the lodge on March 5th and we were able to stay up at in the loft. Incredible experience. We were looking to find some fish and Dan the owner was incredibly helpful in getting us on fish. Great experience and look forward to doing it again!

In 31 years this is the most unique place I have ever stayed. 24 hour drive away from home and my wife and kids feel more at home than ever. Dan and his family were very welcoming. Him and his wife explained everything in the suite and some helpful tips of the town. If you are ever in this part of the state or country this place is a must even if just for one night. Amazing!!!
