The brick-stucco lodge has two stories with about 4 rooms each. Covered porches are on both sides. One porch faces west toward the ancient fortress of Kuelap, which lies across a valley and on top of a mountain. On the top floor is a dining room with a small, painted, corner fireplace. The kitchen is next to this room.
Cooking is done over a fireplace with horizontal metal surfaces for the pots.
Water is heated using a metal container above the fireplace, but apparently it would take a long time to get the water hot enough for a hot shower. We had tuna fish, rice, and potatoes for dinner. They constructed many villages with conspicuous round houses and the fortress of Kuelap. Not many details are known about them because they did not have a written language and their spoken language has been completely lost. Apparently, they did not have kings or royalty because there are no remains of palaces in the ruins.
