What our Guests are Saying
What a truly wonderful trip. Joel and Amanda made us feel at home and the lodge is 5 star all they way. You won't find a better getaway ANYWHERE! We had top notch guides as well. We will be back soon.
I recently visited the lodge as part of a pheasant hunting trip with customers. This place is first rate. We had a great time on our trip, and my customers really enjoyed themselves. The lodge itself was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Meals were provided as part of our package, and the food was very good. Joel & Amanda were awesome hosts and we had a great time. We had 2 different guides (one was Joel himself) and they were both top notch. They put us in places to get opportunities at lots of birds and we had a blast. I would highly recommend you check out this outfit if you are looking for a fun time and a great experience. Next year we are planning on trying to duck/goose hunt also.
