I am a traveling medical worker who staffs sleep disorders laboratories overnight and on a lark I decided I'd book a room at Snow Goose Lodge to sleep in between shifts.
Holy. Cow. đŽ
The second I drove onto this property I felt a sweeping sensation of calm.
The covered bridge, I believe, transports you to a Kansas that only exists in old time movies when you cross it to get to your sleeping quarters... I'm not exaggerating! As tired as I was from working overnight, the property just leaves you dumbstruck as you take it all in!
It had been a hectic shift but as I entered the lodge and smelled the scent of pine throughout? I could feel my blood pressure dropping back within range!

Trust me. Don't stay ANYWHERE else if you're needing accommodation near Belleville or Concordia. The Holiday Inn is a dumpster fire in comparison to this hidden piece of prairie heaven.

Because the weather turned cold and windy, we didnât get t enjoy as much time outdoors as we would have liked. Otherwise, if youâre in the area and want to get away for a nice, quiet, cozy retreat, we recommend the Snow...
   Read moreThe Snow Goose Lodge is truly a hidden gem! My wife and I just spent two restful and relaxing nights there and we were very sad to leave! The Vista is amazing: the lodge is right on the crest of a hill with stunning views both east and west. To the west is a game preserve, and we were greeted with whitetail deer, red winged blackbirds, hawks and all sorts of wildlife.
The lodge is spacious and comfortable, really well decorated with a wonderful western Americana theme that pays homage to trappers, traders, and fishermen. The antique ice box was my personal favorite addition! The owners were gracious and we highly recommend this to any traveler looking for a wonderful retreat from the stress and fast-paced nature of modern day life. Can't wait to...
