In 1954, three brothers D.V., Hallis, and Lyte Northcutt built this building and opened Northcutt Brothers Lumber and Building Supplies.
The family sawmill was next door and provided lumber for the company to sell along with everything needed to build a house along with other products including feed.
In addition to selling supplies, there was a section of the building dedicated to manufacturing windows and various other products.
The business was closed after the sawmill burned in the 1960's.

Dr. Joe Gray purchased the building from the Northcutts in the 1990's and used it for storage until 2015, when he passed away. There was a lifetime collection of antiques, furniture, and much more in the building including over 300 antique clocks.
After 3 years of clearing out this building and others, Joe Gray, Jr. decided to turn the existing structure into a lodge for his family and others as the building was very sound and well built. There was a substantial amount of old lumber, tools, and windows that had been left in the building and have been repurposed or displayed. After another 3 years of remodeling, Greeter Falls Lodge was complete. Many of the original items and a lot of the old lumber that was still in the building were repurposed and are now on display. |

The Lodge hosts events with or without lodging. There are six living units that sleep a total of 20 people as well as a large common area with dining for 20+, a commercial kitchen, and lots of living spaces for kids and adults.
Each living space can be rented individually or the whole place can be used for family, church, corporate, friends, and many other groups. Award ceremony, small weddings, dinners and more are welcome.
Modern appliances and facilities are placed in this 70+ year old building for a great blend of old and new. Handmade furnishings and a lot of effort to preserve the old make for a beautiful place to gather.
