Had an excellent stay. The cabin was well equipped and very clean. FYI there are no TVs and you have to provide your own towels, wash rags and soaps. They helped us with launching and landing the boat. The lake was very low during our visit so having someone there to assist was great. Dog friendly and they had great info on fishing Bowstring lake as well as the lakes in the area. We will definitely be going back.
If you're looking for a place to go that is absolutely beautiful, the owners are willing to go above and beyond to make your stay great then this is the place for you. Great fishing, great people, and a very relaxing atmosphere.
Came here for my church's annual men's fishing trip. Great resort, and great guys that work here. Each cabin is well built, clean, and nice on the inside. Look forward to future visits.
Everybody here is so friendly and accommodating of everything. We are fishing with my grandfather in law and they help him in and out of the boat as well. Bring a smart TV and they'll give you a Hotspot to hook up to. It's hot in the summer but we kept the windows open and brought a box fan and it's just fine. We will be making next year's reservation when we leave. Thanks for everything Bill!
Spent the weekend there with our Grandkids in the Moose Cabin , what a beautiful spacious cabin , great view of the lake , great fishing , plenty of things to keep the kids entertained . lifts to keep your boat safe or rent one of theirs . we rented the larger fishing boat w/electronics, they helped us off the doc and on when we came back in . Great Resort all the way around , we'll definitely be back ! Thank You Bill + Erin John + Colleen Hibbing
Erin & Bill have a great to work with very accommodating to your needs. The cabin was very spacious, clean comfortable beds with an awesome view of Bowstring Lake . I highly recommend their resort!!
Nice resort, would be real awesome for a summer vacation. I went in the fall, it was cold and rainy, there's no TV. Which would have been nice. Thank goodness I told my laptop. They have wifi so we were able to catch some news and a few movies. I'd give the place a 8 on a scale 1-10.
Took a trip up with a buddy of mine, owners are very kind and even showed us some of the good spots to fish. Overall a very nice stay and will be back again.
