The Cobham River Lodge is built out of conventional construction material. The exterior walls are finished with a wavy cedar siding while the interior walls are of native pine. There is a wooded deck with a three-foot high railing around the entire lodge. The lodge has a rated capacity of sixteen guests, with bedrooms of different sizes. There are also staff quarters in the same main lodge building. All the furniture was handmade of native pine in Kenora, Ontario. The typical day at the lodge is breakfast at 7am and out the door fishing by 8am. During breakfast we help plan your day of fishing by providing maps and discussing possible fishing tactics. Breakfast usually consists of bacon,
The Lodge is equipped with three bathrooms for guests. All have large tiled showers and sinks. All towels, washcloths, sheets and bedding are furnished with daily housekeeping service. We have 24-hour phone service at the Lodge for your personal use. All guests are given directions on how to call the Lodge direct so family members can contact them in case of an emergency.
For the 2009 season we have equipped the Lodge with 16' Lund boats powered with 9.9 HP Yamaha outboard motors, mounted swivel seats with back rests, landing nets, stringers and boat cushions. These boats are washed out and serviced each evening. We have a Cessna 180 float plane based at the Lodge for any emergency flights. With phone service and the plane, you have a sense of security. We are thankful that our Lodge on the Cobham River is the only lodge for hundreds of water miles. We have a policy at the Lodge that if you have a minimum of 12 guests in your party we will reserve the entire Lodge for your group only. This is great for business meetings and your group's privacy. During the 2009 season we will still have our portage to South Lake, which offers our guests excellent trophy pike and walleye fishing. Meals at the Lodge, what can I say! Our departing guests say it best, “I am not eating for a week when I get home”, and “I must have gained 10 pounds.” The menu at the lodge consists of a soup and salad bar, with main entrees including ham, pork roasts, beef roasts, steak, turkey, ribs and many original recipes. Don’t forget the desserts, homemade bread, pies, and other selections. |
