ABOUT YANKEE WAY LODGE - in their own words:

YANKEE WAY is a great starting and ending point for any expedition to Chile and is a fascinating facility unto itself. Volcan Osorno, considered one of the most beautiful volcanic cones in the world, dominates the horizon in front of the lodge. The compound was carefully constructed over a five year period, with great attention to detail. Exposed, sandblasted post and beam construction throughout highlights beautiful local woods, black lava encrustations and old-world style craftsmanship.

Lodging is comprised of private chalets, bungalows and hotel style rooms. The 1,400 square foot chalets and bungalows are designed to accommodate groups of various sizes. Each building was carefully designed and constructed from beautiful local woods, in a style appreciative of local architecture yet incorporating many modern features, including central heating and details such as fluffy towels, bathrobes and goose down comforters, which are sure to please your family and friends.

The Lodge features Latitude 42º Restaurant with excellent international cuisine. The 1,500 square foot kitchen was designed and constructed in the United States, disassembled, containerized and shipped to Chile. It is recognized as the best kitchen facility in the Patagonia, perhaps the whole of Chile.

Chalets are 1,400 square foot accomodations with two bedrooms. They may be divided into two separate units, each with a private terrace and entrance

Chalets have two bedroom suites. Each suite has a private dressing room and bath with tub and shower. The common living room includes a small kitchen area. Chalets have central radiant heat, Rosen five-star box springs and mattresses with fluffy towels, bathrobes and goose down comforters.

Hardwood floors, carpeted bedrooms, leather furniture, antique pieces and original art provide a warm environment among hand hewn doors, beams and textured walls.

Bungalows

Bungalows are two story structures nestled in the native forest. Access is by way of a meandering river rock path through the woods. As you cross your terrace and enter, you will first notice the doors, hand carved from Chilean hardwoods. Four panels of original art, depicting ancient hieroglyphics, appear before you on the living room wall.

The master bedroom is on the ground floor next to the living room.  Additional sleeping space is available on the second floor for family use.

Leather and hand crafted wood furnishings provide a comfortable environment in this wooded setting. The living room is a place where you can relax in ample yet private comfort, or, you have room to invite friends over for the evening.

Travel means luggage. If you're on an expedition, that means even more luggage. Thus, we have provided large walk-in closets with shelves and drawers for your personal comfort.
   
Your bungalow has a separate dressing room and a full bath. The bath is equipped with a Jacuzzi for your relaxation and you will find Rosen five-star box springs and mattresses, fluffy towels, bathrobes and goose down comforters--- simple pleasures, not easily encountered in this yet developing part of the world. In the early spring and late fall, mornings and evenings are cool. You will appreciate the thermostat controlled central heating, something we take for granted in many parts of the world. It’s a rarity in Patagonia.

Our founder personally traveled throughout Mexico and South America purchasing artwork and decorations. Most of the furnishings were custom designed and crafted in Chile and Argentina. Artwork found throughout the lodge, chalets and bungalows, creates a unique and exceptionally comfortable atmosphere. There are numerous pieces of original art on the grounds, created by Chilean artists. The current art project is the carving of a tree, 16 meters high and 6 meters wide at the top. The sculptor has won various international awards and blue ribbons for his carvings.

There are a numerous cozy spaces, throughout the compound, in which to relax and socialize. For those who wish to stay abreast of current global events, we have satellite television, telephone, fax communications, Internet service and e-mail in our reception and Lounge. If you wish to leave it all behind, your wish is our command.
