Daniels Summit Lodge has a rich history, beginning in 1876, when the original structure was the prize of a poker game. It was then converted into a boarding house where people could eat and sleep on the floor for a mere 50 cents. After switching owners several times, in 1925 a 15-room boarding house was built to accommodate travelers on the stage line. In 1963, the building burned and sat vacant for 20 years. In 1983, the Hill family purchased the land and developed the General Store and cabins in the Uinta National Forest. In November of 1998, the Hills completed a $6 million-dollar renovation, converting the old travelers’ stop into a Utah mountain vacation haven for snowmobilers, nature lovers, and romantic getaways.
