I get the sanitization, but the baskets under the top two are not being cleaned and can you wipe them off please? Made it almost all of the way through the store and could not find something I needed, not a single employee had asked me if I needed help though they walked by, in front of and behind me doin what they were doing. Finally flagged someone down who was cruising by me, asked for something and she took me right to it and was very friendly. I checked out and left, underwhelmed but not overly discouraged. being so small I would have expected them to do more to ensure the customer experience was better due to the competition they have in town - I would not let that experience deter me from returning though....

You won't be disappointed. We delt with hendri and he clearly is in the right line of work, he takes customer service very seriously. We have purchased 2 other fish houses in the past from other dealers and never had such an experience as at Smokey hills. They have earned our business for life.

On my visit they were running a sale of 25% off all clothing and shoes. Well, I had to get something but had a hard time choosing because there were so many things I loved. I opted for a warm shirt coat in a beautiful teal blue plaid. Put it on as soon as I got back to the cabin and LOVED it. Prices were comparable to other stores hosting these brands. Staff was so friendly. They had floor staff ready to answer all your questions and find you sizes and four checkout workers to ensure lines moved quickly. Great stop.

They were able to help us pick the right ones and also got them setup with the hook, weight and floaters. While there, we picked up a few swimming goggles that were also needed and they didn't have a huge selection but had enough that we were able to find three pairs for the kids and they were reasonably priced. The service was excellent I would be by there again if I need anything related to summer fun when we are up north.

There is no signage about the state mandate for mask wearing in stores posted. The two employees were sort of wearing a mask. They were loudly talking about doing vodka shots at a party.

Not a safe shopping experience. Plenty of other places to shop. Go there instead.

However, we were surprised by the transportation expense. Apparently, it's much cheaper to go with a larger group as they charge per van ride.

Took us just under 3 hours. I definitely recommend bringing snacks and bottled water... Plus bug spray and sun screen. Also, wear a swim suit and take advantage of the opportunity to stop and wade in the water a bit... The river is very shallow. We did bring two of our own kayaks (and rented a third). Unfortunately, one of the kayaks fell off the trailer on the way to the drop site, sustaining some damage (though was still usable on the river). However, the owners actually bought the kayak from us at a fair price, allowing us to easily replace it. No hassle at all. We're looking forward to a return trip in September.
