SOPHISTICATED,
NOT STUFFY.

WE’VE GOT GAME.

Our 100+ year-old log cabin is a comfortable-yet-refined setting for succulent wild game including elk, bison, venison, antelope, duck and quail. But we don’t stop at game. Seafood and steaks are a big part of our menu - including beef ribeye, filet of beef, lamb ribeye, jumbo lump crab, rainbow trout, lobster and, of course, Gulf shrimp. Two on-site kitchen gardens help complete our menu which is inspired by our seasonal harvest, local ranches and growers.

PRIVATE EVENTS

Our elegant log cabin has four private rooms for groups of eight to 80. Or, think big! Consider the entire Lodge for your group of 100 or more.
