A good place to get away!
Located on Mt charleston near the end of Kyle Cannon Road. The lodge is next to some rental cabins and fantastic hiking trails that have recently been upgraded by the local parks department.
The restaurant decor kind of reminds me of a log cabin with wooden seating, fireplaces and massive open deck area with a Stella view. Your able to bring your dogs to the deck area, providing plenty of bowls of water and sometimes they have small snacks. A small gift shop with different trinkets and souvenir items are also available for purchase.
The cool wooden fully stock bar with a rotating seasonal beer selection has bar gaming machines to still remind you your still in Nevada. The menu is a pretty standard selection of burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads. I do recommend the Fish 'n' Chips. I don't know why you go to the desert and up a mountain to get good fish 'n' chips but take my word for it they are pretty good.
In winter it's a real white Christmas experience with great views and custom made seasonal drinks. During summer it's cooler weather on the deck will have you wondering if your still in Las Vegas. I believe it's mostly locals that visit, so you won't have to worry to much about the tourist trap.
Good food and great views make it worth the occasional visit!
