About Neal’s Lodges

Historic Neal’s Lodges was founded in 1926 by local rancher Tom Neal and his wife, Vida Thrift Neal. During the early days, Tom, with the help of his father-in-law, built the cabins, the dining room and much of the furniture. Tom managed the cabins, traded in furs, had racehorses and served as the Concan Postmaster. Vida was “chief cook and bottle washer”, as well as storekeeper. In addition to these activities, she fried up the chicken and prepared homemade ice cream for the guests each Sunday.
Neal’s still operates at that same dedication level, still provides the same family fun and is still family owned & operated. However, the business has grown and evolved over the years.
