Very cool place to stay. Every morning we woke up to numerous deer feeding. Pretty cool to just sit and watch em to start the day. Its a little further away from Gaylord than whatwe preferred but it was worth it.

Incredible property. Clean and well managed. The Lodge was a hunters paradise. My friends and I enjoyed bonfires and the plethora of outdoor cooking stations. The pond was also very refreshing. 10/10 experience. Thanks Paul!

Annual guys trip
This is our third time staying at this property. We have between 9-12 guys each time and each time we are amazed by the quality of the home, the appliances and furniture, everything. The kitchen is perfect for large groups and the grilling set up is great. The property itself is perfectly maintained every year and considering its massive, it impresses us all every time. We don’t hunt so we don’t get as much use of the property as others but we get plenty of use playing yard games. Always a great time.

We had a group of 16 friends up for a golf trip and Paul’s property provided us with everything we needed and more. The house was exceptional and provided us with a great spot to relax after our days on the course. He was very helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed. We will definitely look to rent with Paul again in the future.
