Tom & Nova are amazing hosts! Accommodations are beyond amazing. The lodge is extremely clean, comfortable, and spacious. The hunting is the best I have personally experienced. Tom and his dogs are extremely hard working and put us on birds quickly. If you are looking for top notch service and hunting, look no further than Platte Creek Lodge & Guide Service!

Tom and Nova exceed expectations from the time you pull into their drive and enter their well-appointed lodge, sporting trophy mounted pheasants, geese, deer, mountain lions, and even a fox.The rooms were comfortable and stocked with thoughtful details like a blowdryer and personal products.But the luxurious lodge pales in comparison to the gourmet food that delighted us all week from home made sausage, pancakes, scrumptious pork-chops, home-made pheasant pot-pie with a rising pastry, all followed by decadent desserts.As to the hunting, I have never seen better. Tom and his team ran five dogs who worked the brush and the trees so all you had to do was shoot. And shoot we did, our group limited out everyday before noon. Tom ran a safe, professional, and successful hunt with exceptional and knowledgeable guides, first class equipment, and beautiful dogs that make bird hunting so special.This was the best North American hunt in my life. I could not recommend it more, not to mention the gracious, friendly, and accommodating staff.I also forgot to mention the hot tub and fire pit. There was so much to offer. I was totally impressed.Thank you for the hunt of a lifetime. I cannot wait to return.

Amazing Experience here! 5 STAR quality food and hospitality in the most rustic and amazing setting. I cannot say enough about this operation from top to bottom - the hunting was a bonus and it was great. I have stayed all over and truly this was one of the very best experiences I ever had! From coordination of our trip logistically to the final departure our experience was flawless.

I had the pleasure of visiting Platte Creek Lodge with 14 friends for a pheasant hunting trip, and it was nothing short of amazing. This being my first pheasant hunt, I didn't know what to expect, but the experience far exceeded all my expectations.The lodge itself is the epitome of comfort and luxury, tailor-made for hunters. Its spacious and cozy interiors provided the perfect home base after long days out in the fields. The amenities, including a fire pit, a hot tub, and a clay shooting range, added a fantastic touch to our stay, ensuring there was never a dull moment.Now, let's talk about the food - it was absolutely incredible! Each meal was a delightful surprise, surpassing the previous one in taste and creativity, especially the various pheasant dishes they served. It's clear that they put a lot of thought and passion into their menu.Our hosts, Tom and Nova, were the heart of the lodge. They were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the week. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel truly at home and welcomed.Tom was an exceptional guide during our hunts. His expertise and knowledge of the area made our hunting experience both fun and successful. We were thrilled to reach our limits each day, and the service of cleaning and preparing the pheasants to take home was the cherry on top.If you're looking for an unforgettable pheasant hunting experience, Platte Creek Lodge is the place to go. I can confidently say it will offer you the best week of pheasant hunting in your life. I highly recommend it!

Extremely nice lodge and guide service. Nova is also an excellent cook and made sure we felt at home. They cleaned and packaged our fish. We will surely return. Hands down a very well kept lodge!

The owners were extremely nice and accommodating. We finished a great day on the water by limiting out on walleye with our guide. Our guide was excellent, the accommodations were clean and very well kept.
After fishing on the boat during the morning and early afternoon, we decided to go night fishing along Lake Francis Case. The owner went out of his way to get my son and I some fishing gear for our last-minute night excursion.
Highly recommended for a weekend walleye fishing getaway!

I can’t say enough good things about this lodge and our stay. The lodge is beautiful inside and the owners Tom and Nova were extremely welcoming and accommodating for our group. It is a great location to nearby fishing and hunting opportunities. There is also a golf course right down the road which was a fun way to spend the afternoon as well. I would definitely recommend staying here if you plan to be in the area for any reason!

What an unexpected surprise this place was. We discovered it only because it was late in the day and we needed to lay up for the night. Tom and Nova (owners) made us feel at home immediately. They have two very large sections of the lodge that are amazing. Stay away from the city hotels and their crowds. Best hosts ever it felt like it was our home away from home.
