Resort Reviews

Heartland is amazing!  We got to enjoy horseback riding, ATV's, and the carriage ride.  All the staff were beyond friendly.  The whole experience was very welcoming.  We will be back!

Very nice experience--Great food served on time. Rode the trails on our ATV, the trails were in good shape. The Hayride was wonderful. Rooms were clean and welcoming. Food was to die for-tables were set beautifully. Everyone was so nice and welcoming--Good time had by all.

We found the lodge by chance on the internet, so we knew nothing about it.  We were blown away by this "diamond in a rough". The lodges are stunning and the service is outstanding.  The minute my wife and I walked into our lodge, we wanted to bring our friends and family here someday.

I fly from Scottsdale, AZ to Atlanta, GA to meet up with my brother Jim and drive up from GA.-13 1/2 hour drive but it is "worth" it!  Wanda, Terry, and the whole staff make for a wonderful experience.  Keep up the great work Heartland!!!

This was my 1st year at the Girl's Weekend Getaway. My friends had told me how fun it was and how beautiful the lodges and scenery were, but until you experience it yourself-it is indescribable! The food and service is amazing! I am already counting the days until next years! Ms. Wanda is a sweetheart!

We had a wonderful experience.  The food was some of the best we'd ever had. It was truly a feast! Great people to talk to and grounds were beautiful.  Ms. Harpole was a hoot and we enjoyed talking with her. Very neat lady.  We didn't have time to try out the 4-wheeling but we'll save that for next time.

Truly relaxing and enjoyable stay!  Everyone we met made us feel comfortable and welcome.  Scrumptious meal and abundant portions.  Loved the sit down experience and visiting with other guests.  Quiet and serene, just a beautiful atmosphere.  Thanks for a lovely getaway.  Will recommend a stay to family and friends. Plan to return again.

The Wood duck Box room was cozy and super clean.  The fireplace was warm and inviting. The bed was big and comfortable. Staff was awesome. I loved the prayer before breakfast and Christian values!  The food was awesome, it was filling and family style, so you could eat as much as you wanted with dessert.  I recommend the meal package and triple play.  Very accommodating.  We would have loved to stay another night! You will see us back SOON!

Everyone was nice and friendly. You sure can feel the love from the people that work here.  It was so nice and relaxing, I will be back next year.

You guys do it all right! We've been coming there since the beginning, and we've sent a lot of folks from our area you way!

We had such a wonderful time at the lodge. The room and surrounding area were breathtaking.  The staff was absolutely wonderful as well and I can honestly say that we will be staying at the lodge whenever we need a getaway.  It was perfect! Thank you for providing our county with such an amazing establishment and for giving us everlasting memories.

There are no words to explain how good the food is, how nice the staff is, and how comfortable the room is.  We felt like we were at home. Your staff are so accommodating, down to earth, and very professional. We can't wait to come back.  The trails are a blast! If you get the food package you do not need to bring much food, just light snacks.

What a wonderful stay!  Our children gave us a gift certificate for Christmas and wasn't sure what to expect, especially during the drive to the Lodge-0ut in the boonies. Was greatly surprised, the Lodge was beautiful, our suite, Wood Duck Box was extremely nice and very spacious with a cozy fireplace and deck sitting.  Can't say enough good things about our meals, superb, beyond our expectations, delicious! Ms. Wanda and staff are so friendly and accommodating.  This was a wonderful romantic getaway for us with a little side trip to Hannibal.  Thanks for the extraordinary stay. We'll be back!

Heartland Lodge is an exceptional retreat. The activities offered, the food, the decor, the staff, and the rooms are all awesome.  The scenery/setting is wonderful too!

Our stay at Heartland Lodge was amazing.  We will return.  We came for a one night getaway to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary.  We were upgraded to the Grand View Suite, the view was wonderful, the room was immaculate.  The entire lodge was beautiful and clean.

We had an incredible!! Time!! Everyone was super friendly!  Extremely clean! The food was unbelievably wonderful! ! We will be back! Thanks again for a great stay!! I even got teary eyed when I had to leave!

I have to say this by far is one of the best places we have ever stayed at.  I would not have one complaint about anything.  It was perfect.  We will be coming back in the future.  Thank you so much for the hospitality, friendliness, and much love and care.

Quality and presentation of the food were excellent.  All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall experience was outstanding.

Everything is absolutely beautiful!  Every detail amazing!  Everyone is so friendly, feels like home and family atmosphere.  We will visit often!

We cannot wait to come back.  Harpole's Heartland Lodge is just what the doctor ordered.  When you need a getaway to an exquisite location that is local but feels far away.

Harpole's Heartland Lodge is a wonderfully inviting warm place to spend with your sweetheart.  We love the hospitality of all the staff and the incredible meals with all the extra loving touches they add.

We want to thank you for everything!  It was our first time staying with you and we had a blast.  We plan to come back again.  Your staff was very friendly and your meals were amazing. We also enjoyed riding on your trails with our four wheelers.  We loved most that your lodge is in the country and it was very quiet to enjoy our surroundings.  Thanks again for a wonderful Valentines Day weekend!

This was the perfect getaway for us and we had a blast.  I loved that we were able to bring our own ATV. Everyone was so nice and friendly.  We overslept and missed breakfast, when we checked out they were so nice about it and had saved our food for us, putting it in to-go containers. The lodge and room were a dream come true.  My only complaint is that we didn't have enough time there. We will be back and can't wait!

Ms. Wanda-You made our very first visit to Heartland Lodge a memory that we will never forget and definitely will return to make more. Love-Love-Love this place, Ms. Wanda, and all of the staff. See you soon :)

Thank you so much for everything!  We never expected to have so much fun. We were here to ride our ATV's and found the trails to be awesome, tons of fun, great food, wonderful staff, and Wanda is a joy to meet. We met new people and became good friends.  See you next time!

This was our first visit to your lodge and was very pleasantly surprised with how beautiful everything was.  We also enjoyed the cute and clever stuffed animals sitting around.  We will definitely be planning a stay in the future!  And Wanda--you are just too cute!

We have came to Heartland for New Years Eve for the last 10 years or so.  We absolutely love the accommodations, food, Wanda and everything Heartland has to offer. Love our yearly visits!

Ryan and I just wanted a short get-away from our busy schedule, a "Mom & Dad" trip, and booked a room for a couple of days.  The Lodge exceeded our expectations.  We will definitely go back and at some point take our 3 daughters with us to enjoy some outdoor activities such as horseback riding and ATV trail rides.  The food was excellent, service was outstanding, and the Lodge was cleaner than most hotels. Loved it!

Absolutely loved our anniversary getaway at the lodge! It was a wonderful experience.  Very peaceful and relaxing, the staff was great, and the food was amazing!

We had an amazing time for our 1 year anniversary.  We will definitely be back.  Food was great, workers were sweet, and friendly. I felt at home. Thank you.
