BlueCoyote 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) For my cousin I am going to ask (SERIOUSLY) if you were going to stay in a sportsman type lodge what you expect to find, what would you LIKE-realistically- If you've been to any what was it like? bathrooms, size, shower vs tub... personal vs shared... kitchen/dining areas menu/portions. what do you expect to eat common areas, bedroom space, guided hunting and fishing expeditions, what do you expect to pay per night Beer garden live entertainment place for the hunting dogs a game cleaning station or allow the lodge staff to clean it and pack it to the location you want it to go to. anything else you can think of that you want (besides gagged naked women) thank you Edited December 23, 2008 by BlueCoyote Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueCoyote 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 i told her you would say that lol well pretend you are travelling to a place that does have hunting lodges, or some kind of sportsman type resort. i have only been to one in Greenville Florida (where i used to live) this guys set up was very rustic. made the lodge out of an old tobacco barn. it was nice and cozy but you had better be good friends with the other people staying there because there were no private rooms. just an upstairs loft with a few bunk beds. still he pulled in sportsmen from all over the world with that. i said to model it after a B&B, but she wants to cater mostly to hunters and fishermen.

BlueCoyote 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Starting work on our own one in a few weeks time. Might take a while to get finished due to workload & finances, always the way! if you can, would you mind sharing info on how you do it? she's got two locations in mind but one building has to be completely demolished - the mold in there would probably kill you grave yard dead. some of the rooms and ceilings are BLACK from it- the other is smaller but the rooms are huge. was built in 1930 and has a few outbuildings, a kennel, lots of plants, trees, shrubs... over all a nice looking place. we went to see it last night. she just doesnt know where to begin with this venture. i told her she needs a business partner who knows business.... not me. i can do any kind of physical work but when it comes to money, numbers, etc i havent got a clue.

We are in the process of bringing back an old inn to hunting lodge status, its proving a steep learning curve - legislation alone never mind anything else, but this is scotland and the uk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueCoyote 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 This building we are starting on is probably pre 1830! lol in 1830 Florida was a good place to get scalped, shot, or eaten by panthers! she has the county on her side in this project. they are offering to push the paper work at warp speed when ever she is ready to start things moving. they offered to have one area rezoned (almost 300 acres of pure natural wilderness) if she bought that. they WANT something like a hunting lodge, or some sort of tourist attracting in this crusty decaying old town.

BlueCoyote 0 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 the 1930's building has a cook house set off from the back of the big house. has a huge huge brick oven and other goodies for cooking big meals. the problem there is food will get cold while hauling it from the cook house.. i am thankful we dont have to deal with all that rigmarole.. though its not all that easy here either. rebuilding the Chattahoochee Inn will be a disaster of epic proportions. thats the place with the black moldy walls. i plan to be a good distance away when/if that place is ever leveled... it'll be like Chernobyl, i just know it! the problem here is the town is run by old people. nothing against old people, but these ones in particular are senile and anti-progressive. they closed our schools and now make students travel a long distance away. they nay say anything that might be positive for the community. but their power only goes so far thank God...

mouse 282 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 have got a piece of land at my folks house that i have been trying to get permission to build a log cabin on for years for me and the family to live in.in a rural area and would fit in the area fine but he planners say it is not allowed.laws in uk are crazy when you can rip up old barns and replace with eyesores but you cannot build a wooden home for your family.
