As you stroll up the walkway to the front of this romantic, secluded lodge, the massive hand-carved elk door will impress you even before taking a step inside. Once inside, the spacious Great Room with large stone fireplace and comfy furniture will certainly become a gathering place that everyone in your group will enjoy. A wall of glass windows and doors that leads onto the rear deck provides amazing views from anywhere in the Great Room. Connected to the Great Room is a fully equipped kitchen for your enjoyment.

Where do we begin? All of the seven rooms are unique and an experience within themselves while five of the rooms feature an amazing view of the sunset. If you reserve one of these five rooms, you can relax in the ultra-comfy bed in the privacy of your room and watch the sky turn shades of pink, orange and blue as the sun sets on the horizon. If you prefer to soak in a hot tub while enjoying the sunset, be sure to book one of our three suites that each feature a private hot tub. All the suites and rooms of the lodge, including the Great Room and Recreation Room, have been furnished with hand-carved Old Hickory furniture. A trip to the Old Hickory factory allowed us to handpick the furniture we desired specifically for this lodge.
Each room or suite at Sunset Valley can be reserved for individual guests or couples. When reserving individual rooms, it is encouraged that you purchase the meals package, which are served at our Prairie Ridge Cabin, less than a mile away.
If you have the need for more than one or two rooms, this lodge is ideal for private groups, corporate entertaining and retreats. You only need to reserve seven rooms to book this lodge exclusively for your group. If your reservations include the meal plan (highly recommended), the meals will be served in the Prairie Ridge Cabin, less than a mile away. When reserving the entire lodge, the kitchen provides the ideal space for your own meal preparation while enjoying the view from the Great Room and visiting with friends, business associates or family.
You will not find many rooms anywhere that are as luxurious as the Grand View Suite! This suite was featured in the Chicago Tribune’s “10 Great Hotel Rooms in the Midwest”. An ultra-comfy king-size bed faces glass windows and doors that provide an incredible view of the Mississippi River Valley and the Missouri hills. You will definitely want to make sure you are in your room as the sun goes down. The hardest decision is where do you want to enjoy the sunset from in your suite? Your private bath features a spacious double shower and provides the same amazing view of the setting sun that you will find throughout your suite. Or you could relax and soak in the hot tub while enjoying the sunset. After your shower or hot tub bath, step into your own private sauna and feel the last bit of stress disappear. A double vanity and bidet complete your private bath. Now that you are fully relaxed, wrap yourself in one of our spa robes, found in the “His” and “Hers” walk-in cedar closets, and unwind in your private sitting area. This suite has a large flat screen TV and Blue Ray player. The Grand View Suite is located on the main level of the lodge off of the Great Room.
