Southshore Resort — Hotel in Samburg

Our group of duck hunters has been staying at South Shore Resort for a little over 40 years. It recently changed owners. This year room rates went up about 30%. The room is nice for an older hotel. I wouldn't complain about the increase, but for 40 years we have been able to check out after the close of hunting on our last day. The close is 3:00 pm so we're usually out by 4:00 pm. This year we were informed that from now on we must be out by noon. That means we either check out at 4:00 am when we leave for the blind, or cut our last hunting day 4 hours short on the last day.

This is my second stay at South Shore and will not be my last. I don’t know the history of this property but it’s currently owned by the most friendly husband and wife combo.

We've been going here for 20+ years. Always book the end of stay for the following year. We paid the deposit in January for our April trip. When both Missouri and Tenn. were put on a stay at home order because of the Corona virus we called at the beginning of April to cancel the reservation. We also made reservations for 2021. Was told we had till end of 2020 to use deposit or we lose it... would not put towards 2021. Disputed the charge with cc company and Rick (owner) lied to them and said we were a "no call,no show". Does not give you a contact and also does not tell you that there are no refunds! Beware of this place! They'll take your money and then...
