Annual guys trip

This is our third time staying at this property. We have between 9-12 guys each time and each time we are amazed by the quality of the home, the appliances and furniture, everything. The kitchen is perfect for large groups and the grilling set up is great. The property itself is perfectly maintained every year and considering its massive, it impresses us all every time. We don’t hunt so we don’t get as much use of the property as others but we get plenty of use playing yard games. Always a great time.

Excellent Vacation spot for Bachelor party Golf trip.

My friends and I used the lodge as a place to stay for our golf weekend for my brothers bachelor party. We are all outdoor fans and hunters as well as golfers and the spot was perfect. Will definitely stay again and would recommend the place to anyone.
