World-Class Fishing Resort on Reindeer Lake

This is an opportunity to own a premier fishing resort that has been leading its industry for 75 years.  The lodge is located in NE Saskatchewan on the world-renowned Reindeer Lake providing world-class, trophy freshwater fishing.  This lodge has only ever seen 2 owners in its lifetime and will provide the fortunate, new owner a unique opportunity to continue its legacy.  This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established, profitable, and fully operational wilderness lodge offering both lifestyle and business investment. 

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Don’t risk buying a lodge on a lake that could get fished out or possibly already is. Reindeer Lake is one of the largest lakes in the world with a jaw-dropping nearly 2 million fishable acres with over 5,000 islands and 5,700 miles of shoreline giving it limitless habitat for fish to thrive.  The multitude of islands, bays and channels provides anglers shelter from wind, as well provides endless fishable shoreline and structure that gives life to this great fishery.  Additionally, the lodge is strategically situated on Dewdney Island in a cluster of thick wooded islands in the middle of Reindeer Lake providing quick and easy access to all areas.  It is a premier fishery for Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Walleye and Arctic Grayling and is home to many other species of fish including Lake Whitefish, Burbot, and Perch.  To sum it up, Reindeer Lake provides an extraordinary and reliable bounty of fish. 

ESTABLISHED REPUTATION

Over 75 years in operation, this lodge has a rich history hosting many famous people, even the president of the United States!  There’s a book written about the lodge and Season 10 of ‘Alone’, a History Channel TV series, was filmed here.  The lodge has a very loyal repeat client base and outstanding reputation in the industry, carrying nothing but 5 star reviews.  The lodge is proven and profitable currently operating only 2.5 months out of the year. 

ACCESSIBILITY 

This lodge comes with its very own private airstrip!  At over 5000’ in length, it can handle large aircraft direct from Saskatoon to increase revenue and drive down cost.  You are not stuck having to rely on float planes flying in 4-6 guests at a time, which can be very costly; you can fly up to 40-50 people at one time. The airstrip comes with a hangar/shop and heavy-duty equipment to maintain the strip.  Having said that, there are 2 roads that access the lake which provides a less expensive alternative for deliveries.  You can take the large thunder jet boat with 300hp Yamaha to pick up groceries and staff or take the 40’x 20’ barge to pick up 50 tons of fuel, heavy equipment, lumber, etc.

SCALABILITY

The current owners, due to their circumstances, have been running the lodge at a fraction of its operating capacity.  Business is turned away every year providing the new owners with the opportunity to expand operations almost immediately.  In addition to this, the lodge recently acquired 8 moose tags on their Outfitters License, which have not been utilized to date, and would provide diversity to the lodge.  The main focus of the lodge has traditionally been fishing, although there are many different directions a new owner could explore in this beautiful location, including expanding the months of operation. 

WORLD-CLASS FACILITIES

Not only does this resort provide world-class fishing, but it also provides world-class facilities.  The large A-frame lodge is the centrepiece of the resort with guest cabins fanning out from the lodge nestled amidst towering pines and providing panoramic lake views.

Lodge:

The lodge is everything you have envisioned embodying its rich history in the original stone, open fireplace while the floor to ceiling windows frame a stunning panoramic view of the lake.  Some of the original lodge itself remains, dating back to the 1960’s, however, a significant addition was completed in 2009, as well as a reconstruction of the dining room in 2017 providing modern comfort.  

Guest Cabins:

There are 9 guest cabins varying in size that can accommodate from 2-6 guests in each cabin.  All cabins have modern comforts including a full washroom and private deck with wood-fired hot tub!  Guests have the choice between one of the Original Cabins embracing the charm of traditional wood stoves or a Modern Cabin which is a blend of contemporary comforts and natural beauty.

In addition to the lodge and guest cabins there is also an owner’s residence, 12 staff cabins, 7 domes, staff washroom, laundry and multiple other outbuildings making up over 30 buildings in all.  

Don’t miss out to own a piece of history; make your dreams come true with this premier lodge maintaining pride and tradition as a wilderness, fly-in resort.
