Missouri Cliffs Lodge

The lodge sits at the top of a dramatic band of cliffs overlooking the river in the heart of the canyon. Guests will enjoy incredible river and canyon views from the huge wrap-around deck! The lodge is centrally located near the middle of the Missouri River canyon, and anglers can easily access the entire reach of the tailwater section of the river. The lodge has 5 guest rooms with a maximum occupancy of 10 anglers to preserve a warm and intimate atmosphere. The rooms each have 2 beds and a private bath. Each room also has a walk-out deck that overlooks the river.
The main level of the lodge houses the kitchen, a large dining room with a wall of windows overlooking the river, a seating area in the great room, and a barn wood saloon complete with a full bar. 2 bedrooms are located on the top floor and 3 on the lower level.
