"This place is full of kind hearted people who give back to the community. They have a nice bar, pool tables, music and food. They are welcoming to new members who want drama free camaraderie and provide a great opportunity to become an active member in the community while having fun!"

⭐⭐

"Went to the murder mystery charity dinner here, which was actually a play. The play was entertaining, drinks were cheap. The facility itself is a bit run down and looks like it's in need of some repairs and rejuvenating. Dinner was not very good, undercooked baked potato, rubbery green beans, slightly tough and not particularly flavorful tritip roast. Plenty of ways they could produce a better meal and possibly for less money using just a few techniques and tricks. At $50 per ticket it was a bit disappointing but at least it was for a charity."

— Michael Owen

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Great place for drinks, pool, or video poker. Dance hall is available for rent and they also have a kitchen for rent. Great price for the size of area. Also, a new lodge will be coming soon."
