Two full kitchens (one per floor) stocked with the basics — glassware, plates, utensils, pots and pans. Bring your own food, drinks, and ingredients, or add on meals and catering. Cook what you catch.

What To Bring

Your own boat towels, beach towels, and fish-cleaning towels and tools (lodge towels are for indoor bath use only). Food, drinks, and any special serving pieces. WiFi is satellite-based and fair — it's a remote area.

02 FAQ

Common questions.

Not seeing your question? Give us a call — we'd rather talk it through.

What's the deposit and payment policy?
A deposit of half the estimated charges is required to book, with the balance due on arrival. To hold a date we need your contact information and a credit card for damage and security. No dates are confirmed until the deposit is received. Credit cards are accepted with a 4% convenience fee.
What taxes and fees apply?
An 8% lodging tax is added to all rentals. Cleaning fees vary by rental ($40 for The Casita up to $300 for the entire lodge). If you bring in your own cooks or caterers, a $200 per-day facility fee applies. If you hire an outside fishing or hunting guide, there's a $25 per boat, per outing facility fee — we're your first source for approved local guides.
Can I bring my own boat?
Absolutely. There's a state park boat launch next door, with bait and supplies available in Arroyo City. We're here to point you in the right direction and have a comfortable bed waiting when you get back.
Do you allow pets?
No pets or emotional support animals. If you have a service dog, please submit its registration and service papers before check-in.
What's included in the fishing and cast & blast packages?
Full-service packages include lodging, meals, guides, gear, and fish cleaning. The Cast & Blast package adds field fees and hunts. Packages exclude alcohol, gratuities, and (for hunts) ammunition. Loaner shotguns are available for $25 per hunt.
Is there night fishing?
Yes — our lighted pier is open for night fishing around the lights, right off the dock, without leaving the property.
Any house guidelines we should know?
We're a working lodge with daily guides, guests, and service teams. Please keep common areas tidy, bag and trash cooking grease (never down the drains — we're on a septic system), keep music down at night out of respect for neighbors, and no unsupervised children in the elevator.
