This was our home away from home for 7 days. Isn't it lovely? Inside is a queen bed, two dressers, a twin bunk bed, a kitchette, and (bless the gods) a flush toilet and shower. Everything the adventurous, but plumbing reliant, needs for a great base camp. Elwell Lakes Lodge is an amazing place. It is a collection of cabins (all with kitchens and flush toilets), tent cabins (which were essentially extra sleeping space), a recreation hall (The Lodge) and a dining hall. The original buildings were built in the twenties, but the newer cabins retain that original feel so you can't really pick them out. 
The land is part of the Plumas National Forest, but is leased to a family who runs the camp. The set up is sublime; trees, lakes, creeks, rivers, waterfalls, wildflowers, thousands of butterflies, ground squirrels, and marmots. The forest fire smoke cleared by our second day there. We bought a flower guide for the area, and Big E set about photographing and marking off all of the flowers we'd seen on our ramblings and hikes. This campground has been the gathering place for generations of families. Cabins can be hard to get on season because the same families come year after year. Three generations of one family shared our time there, and they had been attending the camp annually for over 35 years. We were blessed to be included in this special place.
My dad and his part of the family stayed here in this A-frame. 
The A-frame was located at the top of a ridge, so it had a lovely view and the picnic table was located around back with rock outcroppings surrounding it on three sides. It was a wonderous place to set and talk while the kids played on the rocks. Sweetheart G, little e, and Nay-nay all spent quite a bit of time playing in the loft of the A-frame. Elwell Lodge was a great backdrop for our various adventures.
