Great place for a company retreat!
This was the 4th year in a row that our company has held an offsite team building retreat at Lost Island Lodge. The lodge fits our needs perfectly! There is plenty of space for sit down meetings for large groups inside the lodge itself. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal. There are enough sleeping spaces and restrooms between the lodge and the bunkhouse that everyone has their own corner. The location is remote and secluded and really fosters a sense of family. The outdoor space is great for playing games, relaxing and grilling and getting in touch with nature--something very welcome for our group of city dwellers! Can't say enough nice things about our experience here. The owner is super easy to work with and makes sure you have everything you need. I'd encourage your large group to take advantage of all Lost Island Lodge has to offer--you won't regret it!

Small family get-together
We were only a small family group of 4 women and 2 dogs, but the lodge was perfect for our Nebraska trip. We so enjoyed the swimming and wading in the Platte's warm waters and walking for miles on the sandy islands in the middle of the river. We never saw other houses or footprints and felt like it was our own private world. It was lovely to just walk out a few steps across the lovely lawn and step right into the water. We even found a deeper area in this shallow river so we could take the tubes that we found at the lodge and tube for short distances down the river. We enjoyed grilling as well with the marvelous cottonwood stacked by the huge grill area. The weather was perfect and we sat around outside nights as well enjoying the fireflies and stars. My dogs could enjoy wandering around as the property is far from cars and road and other hazards. They loved the long river walks on the hard sandy river bottom. The lodge was very comfortable and had everything you'd need for cooking and relaxing. it was a magical time. We had wanted to explore the area but instead found it more fun to just stay at the lodge enjoying the lovely place. Kyle was so friendly and easy to work with. Thanks for sharing your lovely lodge!

Family Vacation
We had 21 people in our group - 12 adults and 9 kids ranging in age from 8 down to 14 months. Kyle keeps this place very clean and family friendly. There was plenty of room for our families to spread out and have sleeping room for all the kids. It's absolutely beautiful with the Platte River right outside the door. We all enjoyed walking across the river which was safe and yet adventurous for all the kids. Loved grilling cottonwood chicken and steaks - great to have a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of seating space for all. We couldn't have been happier with this place - will definitely be back. Thanks Kyle!

Family Reunion
Thanks Kyle! Wonderful site for our Hoppe Days 2013 reunion. The kids loved the River...swimming, sand castles, kayaking. Beautiful morning sunrises, "cottonwood chicken" and s'mores at the fire pit. Very private and beautiful setting. Mary
