★★★★★I've stayed at this location twice, once in the winter for a snowmobiling trip, and then a summer stay as well, both times have been so fun! The food is amazing👏 the staff is so welcoming, and the area is beautiful! #Jennyisthebestcook

Shawn, LeAnn and Jen are awesome, great back country place to stay, hate writing a great review because this hidden gem will get over crowded but they deserve the 5 stars. Family has stayed here many times over the years, we stay here when we work our property back there and they work as hard as we do to keep the area special

I went Ice Fishing with Deadwood. Amazing experience!
★★★★★
Matt and Haydon were the best guides. They searched and worked hard to keep us on fish. It was a great experience
★★★★★
We had a great experience hunting with deadwood! Our 3 sons and I A great way to experience God’s beautiful creation without any distractions! Praise the Lord!
★★★★★
Matt was the all pro guide. It was myself and my wife. He couldn’t have been more accommodating. Baited the hood, helped my wife bring in the catch and took it off the hook for her. He took us to the honey hole and we’were killing it all day! Did a great job of cleaning the fish too. Would definitely recommend Matt. Friendly and knowledgeable.
★★★★★
My son and I went out with Matt as our guide. We had the best time. Matt is very knowledgeable and worked hard to keep us in the fish. But most of all Matt has a great attitude and his love for fishing is contagious. I highly recommend hiring this guy! You will catch fish and have some good genuine laughs while you're at it. Thanks again Matt

Excellent Breakfast for Weary BDR riders!

We booked and went out with Matt Gordon on Sunday 8/24. Left the ramp and were into fish in 15 minutes. Had a great time with my brother from Iowa and conversation with Matt. This young man knows the lake like the back of his hand. We went to a few of his spots and had a variety of fish from Perch, Crappie, Bass to Coho salmon and trout. Thanks Matt and to his father Jeff who treated us to a beer and a song at the “store”.

Great place in the backwoods of Idaho

My bum may never be the same...but my heart is full! We finished a 6-hour horseback ride with my daughter at Deadwood Outfitters, guided by the legendary Nate—who deserves a trophy for patience, humor, & not laughing too hard at how much my old body protested this adventure. Let’s be real: I haven’t been on a horse in 10 years, & by hour two, I was deeply questioning my life choices. By hour four, I was making up new yoga poses just to get blood back into my legs. By hour six, I had achieved a new level of inner peace & outer blisters. BUT... it was absolutely worth it! The views at the top of the mountain? Breathtaking. Like, literally—I think I forgot to breathe for a minute. Idaho, you are a majestic beast. The pictures we took don’t do it justice... & honestly, some moments were too special to capture anyway. Those are just for me & my daughter to remember forever. Huge shoutout to Nate, who somehow managed to keep us alive, entertained, & facing the right direction the whole time. This man knows the land, the horses, & how to deal with people whose last equine experience was watching Yellowstone. And I can't forget the MVPs behind the scenes—the wonderful ladies who make the homemade bread for our packed lunches. That sandwich hit different at 7,000 feet. You kept us fueled & happy—thank you for the love (& carbs)! We’ll definitely be back to Deadwood Outfitters for more adventure—but next time… a strong two hours max. 😅 Highly recommend—just bring water, a sense of humor, & a soft pillow for the ride home. Thank you Nate, see you next year!

We went fishing with Matt. We had Matt take out 5 of us and we had a great time. Matt warned we me aynot be on fish for a while but within 15 minutes, we had our first fish on the boat. 3 hours late with over 40 fish caught and 33 keepers. This was with 3 newer anglers. Matt kept hooks baited, fixed broken lines, poles and even untangled a prop catch. All this with 66 fillets baked and a fish taco receipt to go home with.

Welcoming atmosphere and staff, beautiful country, had a great week elk hunting! Drop camp experience was great, don’t need to worry about packing your meat to the lodge, their packers take care of you. Thanks, Deadwood, for a great week!

Loved our backcountry snowmobiling experience. We based out of the cabins, rustic but a great experience! Wood fired hot-tub is amazing!
★★★★★
Great people and a great experience. Go there every year to spend 3 or 4 days backcountry sking.
★★★★★
Thank you Lynn and staff for hosting my partner and me! We were dusty, sweaty, and ~350 miles into a bikepacking trip when we pedaled past this rustic gem. They fed us a delicious dinner, gave us a cabin to sleep in, showers and laundry to make use of, and even cooked breakfast in the morning! Great place to spend the night if you are biking the Idaho hot springs route! Just be sure and try to get a reservation
★★★★★
This is a fun place to base out of for amazing powder! Fuel, food, and friendly staff!

★☆☆☆☆
They were no help and didn't want my business. Won't try them again.
★☆☆☆☆
Very dissapointed in this lodge/staff. We drove up to spend the day at the reservoir and visit the lodge and the staff were not friendly and unwelcoming, even after we spent lots of money at the gift shop. A more welcoming atmosphere will go a long ways for this place.
★★★★★
These owners and lodge are so charming. It is located right off the road. They fixed our group of 23, dinner and breakfast which were delicious. We were also able to make our own sack lunch with a great variety of meats, breads and snacks. The cabins are rustic. But, they are always working on improvements. We were grateful for this little oasis on our side by side ride.
★★★★★
