What Our Guests Are Saying

“Thank you so much for making our visit to Hatchet Lake Lodge such a positive experience. We had 10-people in our group and each and every person had a great time. The entire staff at Hatchet Lake is extremely friendly and helpful and always have a welcome smile in their face. They all possess a very high-level of customer service.

You certainly made our visit a memorable experience. We look forward to our next visit back to Hatchet Lake Lodge.”

“My first trip to Hatchet Lake Lodge included extraordinary customer service, amazing shore lunches, gourmet dining and peaceful; majestic vistas.  And, thanks to my guide, Ray, I caught my biggest fish ever!  I loved the fly outs too.  I am hooked.... we already booked next year's trip! See you all then!​”

​“Harvey, we just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our stay at Hatchet Lake this year. Linda and I really enjoyed it. The guys at the dock were great and very nice, they didn't want us to do a thing but enjoy ourselves. And as for the ladies in the main lodge, they were absolutely fantastic. Of course I can't go on without saying that you, Wendy and Taylor were fantastic also. It just wouldn't be Hatchet Lake Lodge without you guys. We'll see you again next year.”

​My husband and I were at Hatchet Lake Lodge in June of this year (2018).  Not being much of a 'fisher person', I had only planned on fishing one or two days to humour my husband.  I thought I would spend the rest of the time relaxing around the lodge.  However, I enjoyed myself so much that I was out fishing every day, all day long!  My perseverance was rewarded on the final day when I caught a 48" Northern Pike!  What a thrill!

Wendy, our hostess and her staff were so friendly and helpful, as was the dock staff.  Our guide James was great - patient, helpful and fun.

​“Thank you very much for the wonderful time at Hatchet Lake Lodge! The weather, food and fishing were superb. To be honest I have had those things be great at other lodges too. One thing that HLL offers that others do not is the amazing people! You truly have some of the best staff that I have ever seen. The personal touches performed by each individual is truly what sets you apart from the rest of the pack!! Thanks for being awesome!”

​“Dear Harvey & Staff, I want to thank you for the incredible service and care that you provided to all of us, especially my father when we were up there this past season. Dad even made the comment to me that he felt all of you went beyond what is normally done to care for him. All of us boys, and my cousin really appreciated the time and attention you gave to him.
We all feel very blessed to come up there and enjoy your hospitality, the family time and the memories are for a lifetime, and the fishing is excellent. Dad said the other day, 'Heck, they made it so easy; I think I have another trip in me.' That would be an answer to prayer!  
Again, Thank you for all that you have done for us!”

​“Hatchet Lake was the best time I have ever had in my 16 years. Thanks for the memories! Fish On!"
