Outstanding experience with the gameroom, heated bathroom floors, and proximity to bison, bunnies, goats, llama, etc. We basked in the beautiful nature in front of the cabin, as well as on the back deck, while others enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. Some days, we hunted for neat rocks and swam in the nearby pigeon river, and we watched the fireflies each night. The staff are on the property and are responsive to your needs. Whenever a need arose, they were quick to address it, even opening the “Depot” when we wanted to purchase Bison meat for a barbecue. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tatonca Lodge!

Had a great stay in our little Gray Caboose! Was so peaceful. Could sit on our patio and watch the Bison in the field. Beautiful place. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the guys feed the Bison. They are so beautiful and majestic. Also enjoyed visiting the other animals; the Llamas, chickens, goats, rabbits, horses. Cute little gift shop right on property. Would definitely recommend .
