Men’s yearly fishing trip

This is our 3rd year staying at the lodge. Courtney has always been absolutely a pleasure to deal with. The property and location are exactly what we need. Plenty of rooms, showers and outside area for the boats. The lodge is always clean and plenty of space to cook and eat in the common areas. Always a pleasure and look forward to next year.

Perfect fishing camp

Great fishing camp. Lots of details for fishing and all your fishing needs! Comfy beds! Only issue is the water in the area stinks, but nothing the owner can fix. Bring plenty of drinking water!
