Blue Basin Cove Lodge — Hotel in Hickman

I stay at the Blue Basin Cove Lodge ever weekend for duck season, and made a trip this spring to catch crappie. Ken, Lisa, and their precious dog Reba are the most WONDERFUL hosts anyone could have the pleasure of knowing! They bend over backwards and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and to make their guests feel valued. This is a family-operated business, and Ken and Lisa spare nothing when it comes to caring for their people. Have a beer you like? They’ll stock it. A lure you like? He’ll have it in his shop. They cook, help you in anyway they can (including changing my tire when I had a flat.) I can’t say enough good things about these people and this BEAUTIFUL spot on the lake! To put it simply, if there were more people like Ken and Lisa, and places like Blue Basin Cove Lodge, the world would be a much better, happier place. If you pass by and don’t stop, even for a snack and a visit, you are missing out on everything good about...

If I could give this place a million stars I would!! They have the nicest people I've ever met. My husband and I got there late, and were starving, we went to their store and bought a few things to snack on, about 5 minutes later the owner knocked on our door and gave us 2 places of deliciousness. I couldn't believe it. Also they have the cutest most friendly, loving dog reda who roams around giving love to everyone. I will definitely be back here. I loved waking up to the view of the water and smiling faces. Thank you for all you do. The world needs more people...

The owners and anyone a have encountered have been extremely friendly and helpful. Nice variety of items in their shop. The room we stayed in was clean and nice. The room had a futon, 2 single beds and a twin bed. They are comfy!☺ Wish it was warmer lol that's the only complaint and that's mother natures job to do something about. All in all I really am enjoying staying here. Also they have 3 doggies running around that are super friendly and very sweet and playful. That's...
