Tom McDonnell and Liza (Leeza) Dadiomov became the new Lillaskog Lodge owners in 2022. They had known of Lillaskog for many years, with Tom’s family’s whitewater rafting company (Sierra Mac River Trips) located just across the road from the lodge. Tom’s dad Marty had been friends with Bill, the original owner of the lodge. Tom and Liza fell in love with the lodge and even planned to have their wedding there. The pandemic shifted their plans, but they still dreamed of spending time at Lillaskog, and are thrilled to be the new stewards of this beautiful and special piece of property.
Tom grew up in Tuolumne County and has lived in Groveland for over a decade. Tom and Liza both have worked in the outdoor education and recreation industry for many years – Tom as a raft guide, and Liza as a backpacking and hiking guide. Lillaskog Lodge combines both of their passions for sharing the outdoors with others. Paired with their skills in Program Management, Reservations, Customer Service, and their vision for the future, they make a great team.
At the end of 2021, they were offered an opportunity to continue running Lillaskog, with the help of those who inherited it, and it has been a dream come true. They are both passionate about sharing their love of the outdoors with people and are looking forward to meeting future guests of the lodge and bringing their energy and ideas to Lillaskog!
