For someone who never hunted before this was a great experience. The lodge is a wonderful home…read morewhile you are here and the guides do a great job of getting everything for the hunting side up and running. On the lodge -- it really is a comfortable place to relax, unwind, and have a great time. There is a fire pit outside to warm the night with great conversation and more than enough room inside to take in some TV, eat, or otherwise entertain yourself. The only down side is that you need to bring your own when it comes to everything outside of a rental gun and white hoodies for snow geese -- and I mean everything. For the seasoned person this might not be a second thought but for a casual experience this can be a real trick. A private chef hire for cooking for a reasonably sized group could make (or break) the entire experience for a group. Though all of the logistics were outside of my space I really don't know where all of this magic (or lack there of) comes from. The bottom line was there were basically two large groups taking up the place when I was there. Theirs was firing on all cylinders back at the lodge and ours sucked. The larger problem, when you are not prepared right, is that the area is thin on everything and there are laws relating to the sale (as in it being illegal) of liquor on the weekends. To make matters worse the speed limits change quickly and the local enforcement cracks down on anyone not from the area. With all of the above, yes, I am still a fan. However, you need to be well prepared and understand the logistics of the area to have a truly great time.

Amazing experience!! Four of us passing through town and called Greg last minute for a hunt. He not…read moreonly fit us in last minute, but guided us himself, cooked us steaks when we arrived after 10pm and then help d us limit out on birds by 8am. The lodge is immaculate, rooms, beds and bathrooms are very comfortable, clean and private. We will be back!!

Premium fees without anything they advertise on the website. No breakfast in the blind or anywhere…read morefor that matter. No flooded timber. Best case timber "adjacent". And building lasting relationships? I was asked for the balance of my trip before I was shown where we would be staying. The guides did a good job but the ownership of this place obviously isn't worried about repeat customers. Be prepared to hunt 8-10 in a group and who knows who you might share a room with. Steer clear.
