The lodge and associated cabins were built to provide housing for Tapoco employees working in the area.

The main lodge, a 2-1/2 story Colonial Revival structure, was built in 1930, and the facilities were gradually enlarged during the next decade to include a number of guest cabins.

Around 1950 a theater, guard house, and other utility buildings were added to the complex.
