Very unique stay with all the necessities for a great fishing trip (close to marina, ice machine, deep freezer, cutting station, etc.) My only critique is that lodge is a little more rough than what the listing photos portray. My reason for saying this is due to this being a work trip (entertaining clients).

Plenty of room for a big group. The 2nd floor patio was the perfect place to hang out. I’ll definitely consider staying at this spot on future fishing trips. Thanks!

Great Trip and Location!

We were a large group (10) of guys looking for a spot for a duck hunting trip and this place was perfect! Great location, perfect space for cooking / hanging out and all the room we needed. Cory was in contact early and often. He even went out of his way to come fix the heat when a break switched on us (even after we assured him we’d be okay without it). Overall this place was awesome and we’ll be back for sure
