The Lodge we stayed at advertised that it has "full kitchen facilities" that guests could use.

Yes that little needlepoint thing above her head says "Let Us Pray" there was a lot of stuff around. Our room, which slept three, came with three bibles. There was a lace version of the 23rd Psalm in the dining room.
