The Magic of Redfish Lake Lodge

from Foundry Talks: The Hospitality Podcast · host The Travel Foundry

We are revisiting our conversation with Jeff and Austin Clegg of Redfish Lake Lodge in Stanley, Idaho because summer there is simply too special not to talk about again.Crystal-clear glacial water, a natural sandy beach, canyon views that open up to what locals call the Gates of Heaven, and a family-run lodge that has been welcoming guests since 1929 -- this place is genuinely unlike anywhere else. But beyond the setting, Jeff and Austin share what it really takes to steward a legacy property on US Forest Service land. From managing multi-generational guest loyalty to building a seasonal team culture that keeps 60-plus employees returning year after year, there is a lot here for hospitality operators to take notes on.If you have been on the fence about visiting, consider this your sign. Summer at Redfish does not last forever.
