 The Main Lodge in 1934 |
In 1938, the prices ranged from $3.50 to $5.00 Per Person Daily for 3 meals a day. We have the rate schedule to prove it.
| Tally-Ho Inn has been in operation for 65 years. But before that, it originally started as an old lumber mill operated by the Brook's family. They slowly changed the Main Building into a rooming house, added a few little cabins and had tents made of canvas over wooden frames and wooden pad. The name was Weeqash, Objibway meaning White Swan. | ||

The resort was renamed Tally-Ho Inn when Limberlost Lodge purchased the resort for a half-way house. In the old times, the main source of travel was the train to Huntsville and then steamship to Tally-Ho Inn on Peninsula Lake where the guests would stay overnight and travel to Limberlost the next day. In 1938, the prices ranged from $3.50 to $5.00 Per Person Daily for 3 meals a day. We have the rate schedule to prove it. |

In 1939, the Emberson sisters, Betty and Isabel, purchased Tally-Ho and decided to operate it as a year round resort. Of course, this meant most of the accommodation had to be replaced; specially the tents. In 1952, Betty married Ted West and when she passed away in 1957, she left it to him.
Today, the resort is operated by Ted's son Edwin and his family.
