With your kitchen and dining room off to your left as you walk in, looking forward you'll see the bathrooms/showers and turn to your right you will see our great room.
The great room features vaulted ceilings and a working stone fireplace and is the perfect way to unwind on those cool western MN evenings.
Off the back side of the great room is long haul way with 3 bedrooms on both sides. Each of these bed rooms contains two twin beds.
Off the back of this hallway is the exit to the backyard and our new 14x24 deck that's perfect for a morning cup of coffee or an evening relaxing and sharing laughs with your group.
There is a stair case leading up from the great room to the loft area. The loft has a common area and is a great spot to read or play board games and has a hallway that leads to 3 more bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms have one queen bed and one bedroom as two twins.
As you drive up to the front of the lodge and park you'll notice another building off to your left. This is the game room and it is located just out the front door and 15 steps to the north and is a a very popular feature.

About the host
Hosted by Graham Greseth
I grew up on the west side of Lac qui parle lake just miles from our lodge. The youngest of 5, the family farm I was born and raised on is just 3 miles east of our lodge.
I went to graduated from Lac qui parle valley high school (5 miles from our lodge) in 1996. Growing up in the area definitely had its benefits for a young man that loved to hunt. My family operated a large goose hunting business from our two farms that brought hundreds of people to our front door every fall.
Nine years ago I started my own venture and opened a small guide service in the area catering to small group hunts for geese and ducks. That small side business has developed into my full time job and I can not be any luckier or happier.
As my guide service grew it became evident the need for a lodge to house my hunters was a must. My wife and I had an opportunity to purchase the property in 2015 and jumped at the chance.
Andrea and I have 5 kids together and use the lodge ourselves for family getaways and functions. It's the perfect place to put a large group under one roof.
We have done a lot of work on the lodge since we purchased it and will continue to do so as it evolves. We love our lodge and we hope you do too!

What makes this property unique

While we are not licensed as one, our kitchen has a commercial cookstove complete with flat top griddle, two burners and a large oven. This makes it a perfect set up for cooking for a large group. Preparing a large breakfast for you group will never be more fun!
