Like many of the other Septs in the Bloodied Ground Protectorate, the Sept of the Moon Bow is located within a protected woodland. Unlike many of the others, and perhaps fitting for a Sept that had long been controlled by the Children of Gaia, the lodge for the state park that the Sept is situated within has its lodge constructed within what is considered by many to be a part of the bawn and many of the local kinfolk work there as staff. This affords them the unique opportunity to house visiting garou and dignitaries to the Sept without having to worry about who may be revealing a little too much to the humans that otherwise should not be made aware of their presence.
Constructed out of a combination of limestone and timber, the lodge has a rather dated and rustic look to it, despite being equipped with a number of modern amenities. The Lodge is also the best place to find food at the Sept if you're not willing to live a more primal lifestyle; their meal buffets having earned a reputation for their catfish and their cobblers. Although, like all state parks, they aren't quite allowed to remain open and serving food at all hours of the day and night. The exception that allows for state parks to avoid having to get the same number of licenses as other restaurants requiring them to stop their breakfast service by 10 am, their lunch service by 2 pm, and their dinner service by 9 pm; a fact that has caused some degree of frustration among Guardians that aren't able to make it back from their patrols on time. But, kinfolk or not, there are some risks that just aren't worth risking the kinfolk's position within the park service. The garou can always find another source of food.
The lodge itself faces the woods that make up the bawn grounds while the entire back wall is windows that overlook the river. With so many people visiting the park each year, it only made sense for the garou to exert what little influence they could to have the windows of the rooms and the dining hall facing away from visitors are likely to spot a wolf running by. In addition to the rooms and the dining hall, there is an outdoor pool which is situated off to the side of the lodge for people to relax in, and there are a number of drills that are common throughout many state parks which are free to use to any patrons. Those fortunate enough to stay in the suites at the lodge even have a small kitchenette that they may use to prepare their own meals; a fact that many of the Sept's visitors in the past have found preferable to scaring the more normal patrons from the dining hall.
