Answer

Question
Is there air conditioning up north?
Answer
There is not, as it is not typically needed all year long. Please cool off your rooms using the windows while you are still up and use the fans while you are sleeping if in the summer. Keeping doors open at night are not suggested as in the summer season they migrate around the area and may find their way inside if doors remain open. In the evening it cools off rather quickly but please feel free to bring a fan if you are worried you might need more air. There are also retractable screen doors to help cool off the lodge if needed. Please feel free to use them but keep in mind they are very hard to see, use caution to not run into them.
