Where you will stay

Heritage Lodge

Beyond the hunting, our lodge offers first-class amenities such as a full bar, family-style meals from a local restaurateur, and rustic, comfortable accommodations. From dawn till dusk, guests will be treated with the highest quality care AND hunt the best land Iowa has to offer! You’ll be served incredible meals from a personal chef, who uses all of Grandma Judy’s recipes. Her recipes have been in the family for decades. You’ll never leave for a hunt or go to bed hungry! After you return from guided upland bird hunting in the afternoon, gather around the stone fireplace and sink deep into our big comfortable couches and retell the day’s adventures while sipping on a cold brew or premium scotch. Be sure to let us know if you have a specific request for the bar! We know how valuable sleep is after a long day, so we’ve created a clean and comfortable, quiet space to dream about tomorrow’s hunt.
