Came for boy/girl Bach trip, There was something for everyone to do. We enjoyed every minute of it! Plenty of room for our party of 9 without feeling crowded.

We found Hawkins Ridge lodge on VRBO when searching for a place to host our church youth retreat. This place is HUGE and perfect for large parties. The kitchen/dining area made meals time super easy and functional. The lodge living room area made an awesome place for our nightly Bible studies. The game room was a hit for everyone there. The private lake made for fun mornings while being close to Lake Eufaula made for fun afternoons! Our two littles enjoyed adventuring around the property with our youth group and playing on the playground. The wild animals were so fun to watch and enjoy. Overall, 10/10 recommend this lodge. We will be returning!

We had a blast! The host was great!!

This place has been a great place for our friends group 6/7 couples to come for a full long weekend. We love the privacy and location of the place. It is so peaceful. Beautiful area! We do enjoy getting everyone together around the fire pit at night after a fantastic dinner cooked in the commercial size kitchen. No need to bring anything but your food. It is fully stocked with all the equipment you need. We have been fishing and enjoying the animals that are on the property as well. Mr. Hawkins, family and staff were very helpful. Just wonderful people. We certainly have enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back next year again!

The property is listed as a private rental and is not so much there are no locks on the doors so you can not lock up at night or anytime and the owner can walk in anytime as he did! He and his staff can up on the back deck he walked into the cabin unannounced and that is not acceptable !!! The listings stated sleeps 20 however the owner calls the day we are to check in and stated we would have to pay a up charge per person I’d we had over 10 people. this is something I was not comfortable with having rented a private cabin and not knowing the staff and the safety of my family is important. The cabin was in need of a lot of repairs bathroom Missing faucets ,bathtub were duct taped , old dirty mattress you feel the springs through need to be replaced , air vent dirty and air conditioner would only cool below 78 in July, The lake is not close to the cabin it is directly behind the owners personal house. The paddle boats and kayaks were not clean nor kept up and ready to use, the boats were in need of being replaced. There was no slide for the kids at the lake and the boat house is old and dirty needing to be updated and the half bath is a out house attached to the lake house Very disappointed! Pictures to be posted soon.

Our experience with Hawkins Ridge was nothing short of perfect! The lodge was spotless and ready for us to use as soon as we arrived and the owner was always close by to check on us throughout our stay. We had our wedding out there and it was everything we dreamed of! Spacious, clean, accommodating for everyone out there, and there were quite a bit of us! We enjoyed every part of our stay. We had the our wedding dreams come true!

This place was fantastic for our family getaway and the perfect venue to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday. Tons of space so everyone could spread out in the lodge. We had plenty of room for the celebration with the invited guests. The host made everything go very well form check-in to check out. From the exotic animals on the property, access to the private pond and great sunsets, it was an excellent getaway. Nothing like country living in a great lodge with so much privacy.

Great price, clear communication, owner is friendly and accommodating.

Very nice quit relaxing good fishing

Love love love this place!!

22 family and we made all our meals in the large kitchen and ate together in the dining area. Beds for everyone even though some of the kids slept on the couch, large living room. Beautiful lake with paddle boat, kayaking, fishing boats with trolling motors and a boat with AC to cool off in and play games. Craig , the owner was awesome, only a phone call away very friendly and welcoming and his son Jake took us to see the animals . We made family pictures on the front porch and the tractor in the yard, turned out beautiful. A very relaxing vacation for everyone. Great family time.

We really enjoyed our stay. The kids played on the playground, swam in the lake, and had a blast. We don’t live too far from the property so it made for a really nice family vacation.

Family loves everything about it.

We loves our stay at the Lodge! We had 4 adults and our 12 children ranging in ages from 7 to 21. What a great time!! The pond was perfect for everyone! Our children begged to see the animals multiple times a day! Each morning I just sat on the front porch drinking my coffee enjoying the the peace of the place. The owner, Mr. Hawkins, treated us like family. Even his employees on the farm were beyond friendly. He did ask us if there was anything we would change and the only thing I had to say was, because of us having all the children there, I would like the locks on the doors to the outside of the lodge to work. That's pretty much it. But despite that we absolutely felt safe, that wasn't an issue. We loved it so much, we've already booked our next trip there and we can't wait!

Great family reunion location! The lodge was perfect. There were ten of us and had lots and lots of room for everyone. Each of the bedrooms had it's own bathroom. The living room was comfortable with a plenty of seating and large TV. The next room had a pool table which we all enjoyed very much. The kitchen and huge dining room was across a deck. Dining room seated 20 and the kitchen was great. Huge refrigerator and gas restaurant stove. The lawn and outside area was beautiful. Perfect for the boys to play baseball. Across the driveway was a great playground. Up the driveway was an animal compound for viewing. Bison, sheep, goats. A sweet camel and donkey. There was also a large herd of Watusi cattle which were absolutely magnificent! A short walk or drive down past the owners house was a beautiful little lake complete with deck and covered dock. Also an enclosed air conditioned room. There were ample cayaks and boats. Lots of fish in the lake. Birds everywhere. The Hawkins family were friendly and very helpful. The place was absolutely perfect for our vacation and a welcome change from the busy beach vacations we usually go on. The price was unbeatable for 10. We are very happy with our choice.

Great place! Everybody enjoyed it. The pond was a hit for the teenage kids they loved it! The owner was very accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

Met with the owner on day one. The place is clean and amazing! Well set up for large groups!

Wonderful getaway to relax, hang out by the fire, play on the lake and more. We had a great few days just getting away from it all! And the owner was very kind and took the kids to see and pet the animals on the property.

Everyone was very impressed with the size and room. It was just wonderful. We had 11 adults staying over night. Family with five children and 3 more adults came for the day on Saturday cookout. The kids loved the huge playground and extra sliding boards. They had a great time fishing and looking at the different animals there on the property. Mr. Hawkins was available if we had any questions or needed extra help with anything. We felt welcomed right away. The property is absolutely beautiful and quite with a lot of rustic charm. Very well kept. We all had the best time and We will definitely be back. Thank you Mr. Hawkins, our family and friends are still talking about the beauty and fun!

Everything was ready when we got there, owner came by to introduce himself and let us know he was there if we needed anything. Will be back again.

Rustic and secluded...plenty of privacy. Huge kitchen with everything you need plus more! Plenty of bed space! Room to roam for sure. Lake was great. Sand bottom!

AWESOME!

Hawkins Ridge was perfect for our family reunion of 20 people. It has the largest great room and best kitchen/dining setup we've seen for a big group. The private lake was really fun for playing and fishing. We had kids of all ages playing at the lake for 3 days with no whining about being bored.The one thing this property could use is some new mattresses. Some of them we pretty rough for sleeping.

This is our 2nd time staying at Hawkins Ridge, and will not be our last!! Love everything about this place!!

Hawkins Lodge was just what our family needed. We had plenty of space to spread out and a great common area to fellowship with each other. It was very clean and we were impressed with the property.

Mr. Craig ( owner) put on a firework show for us!! Awesome! Perfect weather for swimming all weekend!

Remote, quiet, and room for everyone.

We had a great stay at hawkins ridge! Beautiful property, plenty of room for our large group and tremendous hospitality from owners. We will be back

The property is beautiful. Craig and his son Jake are awesome, friendly and easy to deal with. Having an advantage of Hunting through Craig and the Hawkins Ridge Lodge - gave us an insight as to what to expect. We took the kids bicycles, yard games and fishing poles. We packed containers of dry goods and coolers full of frozen food as well. With ample freezer space, a huge refrigerator and all the cookware you can possibly use - made staying at the Lodge and cooking home cooked meals fantastic - seating for 20 in dinning area, food warmers, plenty of space, the entire family ate together every meal, it was great! Huge fire pit and rocking chairs. You might want some folding camp chairs for portability. but there is plenty of outside seating on the multiple decks, but under roof and open air. The Lake is great, plenty of Bass, Bluegill and Shell crackers to be caught -- kids and adults both can swim, boat, kayak, even paddle board... - Over all, it's a really nice place, mowed and well kept, this is a great spot for a quiet get away off the beaten path. Will definitely see Craig and Jake again! Thanks Guys!

Our 2nd time visiting and we just can't get enough. We love this place. Everyone is already wanting to book another stay.... thanks Craig for ur warm welcome and greatest hospitality. Can't wait to visit yall again.

It was easy and I was well informed.
