We invite you to book an overnight hunt and experience staying at the recently constructed Thornwell Oaks Hunting Lodge.

Seven bedrooms (two queens per bedroom), each with a private bathroom, are available for booking. Upon entering the mudroom/half kitchen area at the back of the Lodge, you have access to your individual locker allowing space for your guns, boots, hunting apparel and other hunting equipment. Two large gathering rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, big screen televisions, card tables are available for your enjoyment. A separate bar area, “Gator Bar”, with its own television is fully stocked with all the necessary set ups (liquor must be provided by the hunter). A limited variety of complimentary beers and wines are included in our overnight packages. The large dining area is anchored by a 13-foot dining table which comfortably seats 14 guests. Your culinary experience will be worth the trip! Our chef will treat your palates with extraordinary appetizers and dinner the evening before your hunt and breakfast brunch after your hunt. For those wonderful cool evenings, grab a rocking chair on your choice of several porches or gather around the fire pit situated among the beautiful oaks.
