GREAT DAY ON THE RIVER!

We like to really get to know our guests and make sure they have a great trip.  We can make recommendations on places to eat, sites to see or just where to go to have some fun. 

And after a long day on the water you can come back to the lodge, sit around the bonfire, relax on the deck, prop your feet up and share your fishing tales. 

YOU ARE NOT JUST GUESTS BUT PART OF THE SCHOOLHOUSE FAMILY!!!!!!!
