72-Key Hotel Near Lake Powell | Value-Add Opportunity with Infrastructure and Workforce Demand Catalysts
Ticaboo Lodge is a 72-key, interior-corridor hotel serving the North Lake Powell and Bullfrog Marina market in southern Utah.
The property offers a compelling value-add opportunity in a market experiencing temporary disruption related to the planned relocation of Bullfrog Marina. This creates an attractive entry point for an operator or investor positioned to benefit from anticipated infrastructure improvements, renewed recreation traffic, and emerging workforce demand.
Property Highlights
72 interior-corridor guest rooms
Outdoor swimming pool and guest amenities
Established hospitality infrastructure
Strategic location serving North Lake Powell and Bullfrog Marina
Potential to serve leisure, group, contractor, and extended-stay guests
Current ownership has not operated the property as a fully optimized traditional hotel. The Lodge has primarily supported development planning and contractor housing, providing a new owner with significant potential to implement professional management, improve pricing and distribution, strengthen marketing, and expand revenue.
Market Catalysts
Due to changing lake levels, Bullfrog Marina operations are expected to relocate to a new long-term access point. The National Park Service is advancing plans for a new $75 million deep-water access ramp on the Bullfrog side of Lake Powell at Stanton Creek.
Nearby uranium mining and milling operations are also preparing for potential reopening at the end of the 4th quarter of 2026. If these projects proceed as anticipated, they could create additional demand from employees, contractors, vendors, and other extended-stay guests. Lodging and workforce-housing alternatives in the immediate area are limited.
Temporary market disruption, planned infrastructure improvements, and potential workforce growth provide a distinctive long-term recovery and repositioning opportunity.

Reposition and stabilize hotel operations
Implement professional management and revenue strategies
Capture recovering Lake Powell recreation demand
Develop contractor and extended-stay business
Expand group, retreat, and special-event bookings

Ticaboo Lodge may also be acquired as part of a larger offering that includes:
BaseCamp Adventure Center
Moki’s Restaurant
Ticaboo Boat & Storage
Approximately 493 acres of PUD-approved resort-development land
Ownership is motivated and seeking a qualified buyer capable of moving efficiently. Ownership may also consider a strategic partnership involving the larger Ticaboo-area development opportunity.
Prospective purchasers should independently verify proposed government projects, marina-relocation plans, mining and milling operations, development entitlements, anticipated timelines, and their potential effects on lodging demand.
