Resort Reviews

The bed and breakfast experience is the only way to go when staying at the lodge! Every meal was delicious and prepared with love. I enjoyed the prayer before each meal. The staff was amazing! A great weekend trip away from home.

Everything was so nice! We didn't know what to expect, but you all made it a memorable Anniversary for us!

Really was one of the most relaxing vacations we’ve ever taken. Staff was excellent. Food blew my mind! Our room was so cozy and cute, and the view from our deck was gorgeous! I loved the lodge cats that came by for some loving! We will definitely be back!!

We had a wonderful time at Heartland! It far exceeded all of our expectations. It was our first B & B experience that we have had and now the bar is set so high I doubt others will compare! We had an amazing weekend with great meals and even better conversations. We had a two hour horseback ride with a romantic picnic for two that was perfect!

I’ve stayed at the lodge four times, and every time you have exceeded my expectations. The food is always delish!! Everyone is always smiling! Feels like home!

The Girls Getaway was so much fun. This was our first year doing it. Our room was very nice with great views. Ms. Wanda was a hoot and I enjoyed visiting with her. Activities were fun. Food was great. We will definitely try Harpole’s Heartland Lodge again!

My wife and I came to ride our ATVs. This was the 4th time we stayed at Heartland Lodge. It was a great experience like always. The trails just keep getting better. The people are always super nice. Keep up the great work.

Our room was prettier than we imagined. Terry and Jeff were wonderful chefs. The meals were out-of-this-world yummy. Melissa was so friendly and helpful. We questioned why we took so long to come check this place out. We loved our short stay and will definitely be returning.

We had an amazing time. We celebrated our 5^th wedding anniversary. The lodge was beautiful, clean and welcoming. The staff was fantastic. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We can not wait to come back!

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Heartland! It was very peaceful and we especially enjoyed the beautiful view from our deck of all the Fall colors! I would definitely recommend for all my friends to visit Heartland Lodge. We will be visiting again in the near future. Not just a hunting resort but also a peaceful & wonderful get away for anyone.

We truly enjoyed our time at the lodge. Very relaxing & peaceful setting. We hope to visit again perhaps one time in the Fall. Wonderful food & hosts were very nice.

Amazing stay for the Wine & Brewery tour. The food at the lodge was so delicious. Beautiful lodge, everything anyone could ask for! The trip to Hannibal had it all! Riverboat cruise, brewery, shopping, winery with live music and great dinner. Loved the bus transportation and Lori was a great “chaperone”!

The place is beautiful and very comfortable. Staff, especially Melissa, was friendly, helpful and just a joy to work with. The entire place appeared to be spotless! Despite a heavy storm the night before, which produced a lot of fallen trees & limbs in the yard, the trails were in great shape! Very impressed, can’t wait to come back!!!

We stayed at the lodge for our 49^th wedding anniversary. It was amazing! This is a wonderful place. We took our own UTV and rode the trails, awesome. Our room in the Prairie Ridge Lodge was perfect. The meal plan was fabulous and we highly recommend this option. The staff is top notch. Thank you for making our 49^th so special.

It was one of our favorite trips. We absolutely loved everything. One thing it made you feel at home and with family, even though we had just met everyone. The view from different parts of the lodge was very peaceful. Thank you for reminding us to appreciate outdoor life and to pause, disconnect from work and always being on the run/go. We have told all of our friends about this place & staff. Hope to be back!

This is a very accommodating resort. The staff was friendly and everyone made it such a beautiful experience. Thank you Ms Wanda and Mr Gary for making  guests feel like family. Thank you to my Hostess Stephanie, she is a pleasant delight. Thank you to the chefs Terry and Jeff, very wonderful food. Thank you to the wrangler Jeff for my wonderful horseback ride along with the rest of the staff that do wonderful work.

The staff are wonderful. Everyone makes you feel like your at home. Melissa is the best. She is definitely an asset to your business. We like seeing Miss Wanda and talking with her. She is very sweet. And the cleaning ladies & Stephanie are the great too. Since 2018 we’ve been there 16 times. We like the trails & the guys do a great job keeping them clean. We usually come at least 3 times or more every year.

Best vacation ever! The room, view, FOOD, horseback riding, ATV rental/trails, and EVERYTHING!!! So wonderfully, amazingly awesome! Get all the meals, do all the activities, and you will have zero regrets.

Been coming for years to 4 wheel and fish. Always great.

We would like to recognize Gary, Stephanie, Melissa, Kathleen, Jeff, Jaime and all the others who made our experience awesome!!! We felt each and everyone of the people lived up to the organizations creed –“Come as strangers – leave as friends”. We are spreading the word on how great your place is and about our experience. The meals are well worth the cost, you go away hungry, it’s your own fault. The ATV trails were awesome and easy to get around. Some challenging as well. We “HIGHLY” recommend this as a great get away!

We went to Heartland Lodge for an overnight UTV get away. The service and accommodations were better than we could imagine. We will definitely be back.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Loved the little extras in the evening. (Campfire/S'mores/Popcorn) Love the personal touches throughout the lodge, like blankets to cozy up with. Love all the chairs and gliders on both the front and back porches. Will definitely be coming back with a larger group. September 18-21, 2022

Everyone was so friendly. I can not find a word that would cover how fabulous this was. Excellent! September 4-5, 2022

This was our 4th visit to Harpole's Heartland Lodge. We have always enjoyed our stay with you tremendously. The food, staff and accommodations are excellent! We are avid ATV riders and have always enjoyed the trails but with the expansion of the new park it makes it even better! Plenty to do even when we are not on the trails. Everything is well thought out. Thanks for a relaxing and wonderful time with the family! August, 2022

My now-husband and I were planning a very small wedding ceremony and since I'm originally from Pike County, we decided to rent out the Sunset Valley Lodge for the weekend. It was just perfect! All of the couples had their own bedroom and private bath. The kitchen and dining area were large, which worked well when we grilled out and when we fixed Sunday Breakfast. The main level living room and lower level room allowed everyone to spread out. The game room was a big hit with our adult kids with its pool table, shuffleboard and air hockey. Since the views were so beautiful, we opted to have the ceremony on the main level deck at Sunset. It could have not been more gorgeous! Also, we had Friday dinner and Saturday breakfast at the main lodge. Both meals were hearty and delicious, and the friendly staff made accommodations for our two vegetarian guests. We highly recommend the Sunset Valley Lodge. Our family is already talking about going back so that we can rent ATVs and go horseback riding.

We had our second fantastic stay at Harpole's for an anniversary getaway. We booked 2 nights, 2 breakfasts, and two dinners. The staff is simply top-notch!! They are so professional, but make us feel like family. We brought our ATV this trip and enjoy two days out riding. So much land to explore! We enjoyed the scenic views and all of the wildlife. We even were able to watch a turtle laying her eggs. The whirlpool tub felt great after the day out, and we spent lots of time on the porch relaxing, watching the hummingbirds, and just listening to nature all around us. We can't wait to come back!!!

We stayed in the Prairie Ridge Lodge for 3 nights the first week of May. The accommodations were first class. We had a great time even though the weather wasn’t the best. The staff are all so accommodating and friendly. We can’t say enough about the food. Excellent food and lots of it!! If you leave hungry it’s your own fault. We are returning the last week of October and first of November for a combo pheasant and archery whitetail hunt. Can’t wait. Would love to visit more often if it wasn’t so far from Texas

Myself and my Friends were there for the Girls Weekend. It was absolutely wonderful. It was so relaxing and peaceful. All the staff was so friendly and always smiling. Megan in the dining room was wonderful. The food was delicious. The rooms were so beautiful and very clean. The beds were so so comfortable. Absolutely loved the bed post. Meet some new friends. Loved the hay ride. I could go on and on. It’s just so beautiful and relaxing. Hope some day to return. I highly recommend this place for anything. I’d give it 10 stars! May 2022

All the employees are so nice & accommodating. Food is excellent! All the ladies in the dining room are friendly and so sweet. Although I was here on the girls getaway, I'll be returning with my husband. April 29, - May 1st, 2022
