My family, friends, and extended family have gone here on and off for at least the past 15 years. And Earl and Terri are the most hospitable people you could meet in a small yet breathtaking lakeside lodge. They have been so kind and we have developed a strong connection to them. The fishing is great, rentals are cheap and the food is outstanding comfort food. I love Tedofrds and will never forget the memories that were made here with countless people. Thanks to Earl and Terri McFaul.

A first rate lodge run by the nicest family. Wish our group had found this camp years ago. Clean, neat, well maintained, good food and plenty of it. The fishing was the best we have had in years, A beautiful lake with a lot of structure and plenty of fish. We will go back.

My friends and I have been going to Tedfords for years. This is truly a family operation. And once you stay at Tedfords you become family as well. Service is great, food is always fresh and home cooked. Best of all the fishing never disappoints. I’ve been to other fishing lodges and they just don’t come close to the service Tedfords provides. Can’t wait to return!

Tedfords is an awesome place to go for a wonderful vacation the cottages are amazing and housekeeping is top notch, the meals are good homemade food and if you leave the table hungry it’s your own fault. Fishing is good and the family members hospitality is over the top with their kindness, they make you feel as if you’re one of the family.

This place is like Thanksgiving Day, EVERY DAY! The hospitality and food are outstanding, the lodges are roomy and comfortable, the fish are begging to jump into your boat, and the scenery in the area is national park quality. First timer in 2023, won’t be the last.

We spent 4 days here and it was fantastic. The accommodations are nice and clean with a beautiful view of the lake. The hospitality offered by everyone was amazing. The meals are really good. It’s an extremely relaxing experience. The fishing was good as were the guides. The lake is beautiful. I would highly recommend. Again kudos to the entire family for making us feel welcome. Thanks so much.
