The resort is accessed by driving 3.5 miles (5.5 km)[8] east from Richmond, Utah (on 500 North Street) into Cherry Canyon.

Due to its smaller size and relative distance from the Wasatch Front,[9] it is presently mostly considered a locally-oriented facility.

Property owner John Chadwick began securing licenses and agreements for the proposed resort in 2009.

The lodge is also open during the summer,[22] and several summertime events have been held, including alpine hiking,[23][24] and evening concerts.

[25][26] Consideration was given to hosting mountain biking events there, but due to the limited terrain this has not been pursued to date.
