What hunters are saying

Didn't stay so there is no room rating, and the food was delicious here. It was everything else. We have stopped here many times and it seems like every time the emotion and energy drops. Not sure what's going on or if they are just done with all of the snowmobilers, but the waitress was acting like we were bothering her, didn't have much in line of drinks and when it was time to get our food, the final straw broke. Everyone got their meal except for one person because that was brought to another table. Instead of admitting the mistake, they pretend like nothing happened while one of our guests sat there and watched everybody else eat until theirs came out. We made a specific trip for lunch and this just added to these already rough trails to get there. Go spend your money at Libby's, Shin Pond Village or Matagamon bc the service is always friendly there and the clubs actually went out grooming.

My family and I loved staying at the Homestead Lodge and hunting with Scott, Teddy, and family. We went hound hunting for bear and were able to get two bears, one for my husband and one for me. We took our eight-old son on this trip and everyone was so kind and patient with him. The food was on point and did not disappoint, Mariah's desserts were delicious. This family is not only professional but hard working and knowledgeable, which as a business owner myself is very valuable and makes them stand out from other businesses. The property is well kept and beautiful. My husband plans to go back for duck hunting in October and we will try to go back as much as possible to hunt with them. Thank you for such a great time!

Great service! We came from the Shin Pond area. Nice and easy to get there. A perfect spot for refueling the belly and the snowmobiles.

This year was my second year with Homestead Lodge. Did the hound hunt in 2024. It was starting to get time for the bears to Den up so no luck. That's life , so not a big deal. Its hunting. This year we did the bait hunt. Multiple issues people need to be aware of. 22 people booked the second week to hunt. overbooked it by 5 people per the owner and he apologized to us. We were a group of four. Put 2 of us on bait sites with no cameras that were not hit at all. The whole week they sat at 3 sites total that were never hit by a bear. They have stopped using game cameras which is terrible to do when people are spending the amount of money we do to actually have a chance to shoot a bear. My son and I were put in a stand where a father/son duo shot and missed a bear the week before. They brag about having 125 bait sites, so why in week 2 are you using old sites that don't get hit by bears and sites that people have shot and missed a bear in? Wasted a lot of money. Wouldn't do another hunt with them. Felt like in 2024 they care about us, in 2025 we were just extra money for them. Sad to see the change in how they treat clients. 3 out of 22 people got a bear in week 2. Not very good numbers at all.
