If you are coming as a non-hunter, you will love everything the lodge has to offer on-site and off-site.

Couple’s Hunting Trip Reviews
- First Class “OMG where do I begin! This hidden jewel is something you would find in the mountains & resorts of Colorado, Montana or Idaho. No expense has been spared in the luxury accommodations that make you melt right into the bed, & wrap yourself in the luxurious linens. The canopy bed, private balcony, fireplace, jacuzzi bath, & all the luxuries you could ask for are just a step inside this beautiful lodge or lodges depending on which one you pick… & that’s a tough one! Watching the sunset from the Grand Suite in Sunset Valley is heartstopping. Sledding down the hills of Prairie Ridge has been a family favorite. I haven’t even RAVED about the gourmet meals that await you for dinner & breakfast. I swear the top chefs in the country have to be in that kitchen. First the food presentation is simply stunning… something I have only seen in the finest restaurants in New York & London! HOMEMADE… YES… HOMEMADE with all you can eat helpings makes this one of the best places we have been to. So many ways to enjoy this fabulous resort… a couples getaway, a family weekend, a girls getaway, & hunting trip, a wedding, a reunion… anything… you MUST have it here!” -Username LONDON wrote a review on TripAdvisor.com

If your into bird hunting this place has been great. Got a half day and almost bagged out for the day with 2 people.
Rooms: We stayed in the luxury rooms and it’s been great. You can choice to cook or have the outstanding food the lodge cooks. Peaceful and great country to enjoy the quiet nights.
Walkability: Everything is in a little area for lining up events and walkable. If not the employees will be taking you out.”
