This place was the EXCELLENT for our Christmas family celebration. We made precious memories. There is a lot of wildlife, which our grandchildren loved. We are city people, who get excited about baby cows running and jumping. We purchased the off-road vehicle (Mule), which is an absolute MUST if you want to see the property, although most SUVs can get through most of the property. This is a hunters lodge, which means it lacks some of the polish for city slickers. For us, we loved it! The only reason I didn't give it a perfect rating is that the property and the mule need some gentle maintenance.

Overall, the facility was great!! Very accommodating and, clean; well stocked with bathroom toiletries and with kitchen supplies. Our only concerns were (1) one of the bathroom doors does not close properly, and (2) the fitted sheet was too small on one of the beds.

We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room. Saw many animals each day. It did rain a couple of times during our stay so didn't get to explore the property much but able to do movie night, play pool & other games. A little far out but enjoyed the peace & quite. Would recommend to others.

If you love the outdoors and a nice, relaxing atmosphere, this is the place to be! The bardo is just perfect! Easy check-in, nice and clean, comfy beds, animals everywhere, great fire pit, nice pool for a quick dip, and rent the mule! It’s worth it! The fishing was great too! We caught several large mouth bass and got in some good laughs with nearby horses farting it up. We loved everything! I want to come back with my siblings and their kids.
