What Our Guests Are Saying…

We were delighted to be the inaugural guests at this magical place. We were treated like old friends with courtesy and warmth… This morning a turkey walked past our front door, a bald eagle flew over the back, all to the sound of bugling cranes.
 
C. and Y. A.
The Sanctuary Lodge––a most fitting name for a place to congregate with fellow birders, to commune with nature, and to celebrate the magnificent, glorious birds.
 
M. S.
We found a refuge and a haven for nature that raised our awareness of how important conservation work is. It helped us remember the importance of being present every day. Thank you for your warm hospitality.
