The property was outstanding. Check in and check out were simple.
The kitchen was huge with everything we needed. We had 12 people ranging from 3 years to 75 years old. There were activities for everybody. We used the firepit, the deck, the pool, and the lake. The bedroom set up was perfect for a large group.
Our host was available via email and promptly answered our questions.
We felt like we were deep in the woods, but town was actually close by.
We were at Main Lodge. We will go back.
We will definitely being staying again. Property was stunning! We stayed in the Main Lodge, which was perfect! Everyone in our group had their own room. The early birds didn't have to worry about disturbing the late sleepers since the common area was separate from the rooms(Motel style). Our only complaint but not a deal breaker, is that there were gun shots well after 10pm at night 2 nights in a row and we did have children who were trying to sleep. Other downside was the lodge next to us was up blaring music until 3 am one of those same nights. If you were in a room on the back you didn't hear it but the rooms on the front it was definitely an issue. All of that aside, we had a wonderful time and absolutely loved the property!
This our 2nd year vacationing here. We really enjoyed our stay each time. The hosts were extremely attentive. Thanks to Travis,Taylor and Preston they helped make our stay memorable.
Excellent vacation stay. The grounds very well maintained, cleanliness of the rooms was awesome.
Very relaxing, beautiful views an above all the staff was there to take care of your every need. They really went above and beyond to make sure their guests had a great time.
This was our second visit for a family reunion and we enjoyed it again. The pool is great for kids and the shared area is big enough and comfortable for lots of activities. We had 10 adults and 6 kids under 10.

We enjoyed our time at Hawkeye. Our grandchildren loved the swimming, fishing and just being together. The guys went skeet shooting. Beautiful place.

Amazing and memorable!
My family had 3 of the lodges for a weekend for our wedding in the area. All the lodges are beautiful and great amenities. Kids and adults had fun walking in the woods, playing by the lake and the fire pits at night. We will be back! Thank you Travis and all the people that work with him. They’re very helpful and made our stay a memorable one. Will recommend to all our family and friends.

Great Family Get Away
My wife, our children with their spouses and our grandchildren spent three days at Hawkeye Hunting Club in the Main Lodge. We had a wonderful time! The accommodations were excellent, from the well stocked kitchen to each of the private bedrooms/baths. We enjoyed swimming in the pool just outside the bedroom wing, hiking around the beautiful property, and fishing and canoeing in the lake just behind the lodge. This year several in our family also decided to try skeet shooting. Our guide was wonderful - quite knowledgeable as well as extremely patient with our inexperience. It was a very enjoyable visit and we plan to return next next year for our third visit!

Staff was very friendly, beautiful place.
The only issue we had was that none of our cell phones worked there (or even in the town) (they were roaming, which I thought didn't exist anymore!) So we had to rely on WiFi. Unfortunately their WiFi went in and out randomly and eventually completely stopped working. I'm sure this is an easily fixable problem and they were very nice and accommodating, so I'm sure they will in the future. Otherwise it was a lovely place, we'll likely go back. ((on the cellphone note, make sure you print directions old school, cause we couldn't even get FB, texts, or GPS heading in.))

We had an AMAZING trip to Hawkeye!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Hawkeye this summer! The property is beautiful! Awesome pool, newly updated main lodge and bedrooms, and endless options of things to do. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, skeet shoot...we were never left with nothing to do. Travis was also very helpful with our needs and we look forward to our next vacation at Hawkeye! :-)
