The Keefer
Difference

Gostlin Keefer Lake Lodge was a dream produced by the Gostlin Family. Today, Jeff and Dave Gostlin continue the family’s legacy. Built with care and consideration, every aspect of the lodge and its offerings have been meticulously crafted to achieve its mission of being the best in the industry.

What Sets Us Apart

When you step into the lodge, you are not just greeted as a guest, but embraced as a cherished member of the Keefer family. From the warm smiles that welcome you to the epic memories made on the mountain or on the lake, we strive to create an atmosphere where friendships are made, and memories can be shared. At Keefer, strangers become friends, and friends become family. This is called the Keefer Magic—a blend of hospitality and genuine camaraderie that transforms every visit into an unforgettable journey.

Custom Timber Framed Lodge

The vision for Keefer Lake Lodge had been brewing for what seemed like Jeff Gostlin's entire life. Growing up skiing and eventually becoming a guide, Jeff and his dad Keith set about making the dream a reality. With the help and guidance of Purcell Timber Frames, the Gostlin's turned their vision into a reality—a stunning main lodge overlooking Keefer Lake. It is adorned with large timbers that provide structural integrity as well as amazing beauty.

"Recently finished a 3 day stay at Keefer Lake Lodge. An extremely well run operation built to optimize your ski day as well as the comfort and convenience of apres ski. Having been on several Catskiing tripos in the past, this operation gets it right from head to toe and the staff is amazing. Would go again in a heartbeat!"

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this stunning location, from the time we arrived to our departure we were treated like family and everyone was so accommodating. The view from our room was incredible, such a lovely place to spend the weekend. Food and Drinks were amazing, everything was top-of-the-line! Thank you Keefer Lake Lodge, we will be back!"
