Lucky Trout Lodge

Lucky Trout Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This was our first time staying at the Lucky Trout Lodge (formerly Lindsey's Resort) on the Little Red River but it will not be our last! We've decided to make it a "weekend get-away" favorite! The view of the fog rising off of the river was so peaceful. Even though we didn't catch a trout...listening to the trout hit the water-top while watching the river roll by this newly redone dock touched my soul! We enjoyed it so much that we asked Courtney if she had an open room so we could stay an extra day! The grounds are well maintained and the pool was nice! The rooms are very clean, the beds are comfortable! There are grills all over the property for guests to use and refrigerators in rooms! Now...the restaurant is currently under construction but be patient with them as they grow! I know we'll be excited to try it when we return."
