Cap McKenzie - 1/7/24 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Kevin and his team run a great lodge. Been coming here for years and have had great success. His guides are knowledgeable, the lodge is cozy and the food is great!"
Dawson Murphy - 1/7/24 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I can guarantee you wont regret booking a trip to hunt with Kevin and his guides! I have been hunting here for going on 3 years and haven’t had a single complaint yet! Clint and Kevin always try their best to get us on good mature bucks with weather permitting, and Darlene always keeps a good hot meal on the table!"
Houston Holcombe - 1/7/24 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If I could give ORL 10 stars i would. I have hunted here twice and have been successful both times. From the time I arrive until when I leave Kevin and his staff make everybody feel welcomed and at home. My guide Clint went above and beyond to make sure i had the best possible chance to harvest a nice buck also. This past year I killed the biggest buck of my life here and cannot wait to go back!"
Miles James - 1/4/24 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Awesome experience, knowledgeable guides. These guys do everything to put you on a big deer. Even had tracking dogs available to find my trophy!"
Steve Mcaward - 1/1/24 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I Had a great time hunting with my boys, Kevin built a Beautiful lodge with plenty of room to kick back at the end of the day .The food was fantastic, Darlene had the most delicious meal waiting for us after each hunt.Cooper was our guide and he went above and beyond to put us on the deer. Everyone at the lodge treats you like family, I’m definitely booking another hunt !!"
Travis Allee - 1/1/24 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Had a great time. The lodge and people were great. We hunted late season but I was able to bag my first hog. The accommodations were great, along with the food, don’t believe the other reviews about the food. If you want Ruth’s Chris then spend the money, none of us come back and cook a 5 course meal after hunting. You will come back to a good hot cooked meal after every hunt, what else can you ask for. My old man and I had a great time. I will be back next year!"
True Tech Repair - 12/5/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Booked a hunt with Oconee Lodge and had a wonderful time with my son. Put one in the books and overall had a great experience. The bucks were definitely walking while we were there. Thanks again for a wonderful moment and a memory we will never forget."
Griffin Moore - 11/24/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We have had multiple trips with Kevin at Oconee River Lodge. It feels like we have been together for years. We have been treated like kings and the guides are really trying their hardest to put you on a good buck. Stands are awsome. Feels like we are hunting with family."

Mark Gee - 10/25/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I spent several days at the Oconee River Lodge a couple of weeks ago. I saw a ton of deer. It was opening weekend for muzzle loading season so the shooting distance was limited (at least for my muzzle loader). I saw several nice bucks and had it been rifle season I would have had a trophy on the wall. Kevin and Clint are awesome guys - Brandi too ! Food and accommodations were OUTSTANDING. Darlene will make sure you get plenty to eat. Great Southern cooking. Desserts are always awesome if u can hold it. They’ll quarter up your game for a very reasonable price too. I have hunted with these guys before in S.C. I sent 36 hunters one year. 6 groups of six. A great group of guys (and gal’s) that bust their butts so you can have a great experience. Go see them"
Mikie White - 10/15/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I recently spent a week at the lodge, 10/2-10/6 hunting 10/3-10/5. The lodge it self was nice. I can tell that there has been recent renovations. I was comfortable there. The meals provided were good. Brandi even made a bag lunch for me since I chose to stay in the stand all day instead of coming in for lunch. She didn’t have to do that but was happy to do so. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a buck this time but there are plenty out there. I did see, what turned out to be shooters, just after dark. It was pretty warm during my trip so I think the deer were laying up until dark. Kevin actually gave me an extra day since he had an opening. I appreciated their hospitality and will be back in the future. I had a good time. Thanks."
Rob Beach - 8/25/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The lodge was outstanding!! Kevin will make every attempt to ensure you leave a successful Hunter!!! Darlene is very friendly, And a very great cook !!! Always showing the Southern hospitality!! Clint and Cooper never stop moving to make sure your hunt is successful also!! And now I personally would like to give A Big shout out to Dalton, who personally made it his goal to show my grandson Chase the best time possible!!! From bagging his first hog , to fishing and frogging !!!! For this little guy only being 11 , Kevin's son He will be the best guide in the near future in my eyes he's already there!! So in conclusion I would like to say, A very big and heartfelt Thank YOU to all Y'all at the Oconee lodge, for the best time of our lives !!! Sincerely Robert Aiden Chase !!!! We'll be back!!!!"

Kevin, Damon and Clint are top notch, Darlene made delicious meals for us and even stayed late the one night we were out late hunting. Above and beyond there IMO. Stands were great, plenty of feed out I can’t wait to come back next year and do it again. Thanks for a great hunt ORL!"
Sarann Verleni - 1/24/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Loved hunting here this year."
Chuck Miller - 1/19/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Just returned home from my first of what will be many trips to Oconee River Lodge. My trip was from 1/12/23 to 1/15/23. The accommodations at the lodge are awesome! Darlene is an exceptional host, an awesome cook and a great conversationalist. The food was always hot, ready and plentiful after returning from morning and evening hunts (Axis deer sausage dogs were amazing). There were plenty of snacks to choose from too. Guides Clint and Damon’s work ethic and experience are second to none. They went above and beyond to put me on hogs and made me feel right at home. They are very passionate about what they do and it really shows. Hunting on the many thousands of acres they have was a real treat. Stands, feeders and food plots were on point. It was really nice to meet good genuine down to earth hard working folks that actually take pride in what they do and make you truly feel like family. Top notch operation and I Cannot wait to go back!!!"
Danielle Bolton - 1/18/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have been hunting with Kevin for 10 years prior in South Carolina and this is my 2nd year hunting with him at his camp in Georgia. Every year has been exceptional, food has been great, lodges are just as they seem on the website, and the hospitality from the day you arrive to the day you leave is always amazing. Since Kevin has opened his own guide service I have harvested 2 - 130 class bucks. I have always been impressed with the guide and the game. Highly recommend Kevin!"
Steven Mastrosimone - 1/18/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My 15 yr old son and I hunted with Kevin and his staff this season. We had some great sits where we saw deer at ever sit. We did not harvest a buck as our family rule is to shoot one bigger than you did last year but that is hunting. We did see deer at every sit and that is more than I could ask for. By the looks of things, Kevin is putting money into the lodge and stands. Everyone was nice and a little funny too but I guess that’s what happens when us northerners come down south. We will definitely come back. Kevin thank you for the laughs and great sits. See you next season."
James Williamson - 1/17/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Had a pretty good time hog hunting with Oconee River Lodge. The facilities are good and the food was excellent. The cook is a very gracious host and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. The hunting was a little slow. Our guides put us over feeders during the day. The food plots were in excellent shape. The stands we used were approximately 4 x 4 and were clean and well constructed. We did see a ton of deer. I saw 17 in a food plot an hour before sunset with some good shooters. It seemed like the hogs were mostly nocturnal while we were there. We switched up hunting strategies our last day to night hunting. So only 2 of the 4 of my group got a boar. All and all for a first trip out definitely got a good lay of the land. The only negative I’d say was after none of us saw any the first day we should have started hunting that night after dark. This was a positive experience and I will be going back."
Laura Cason - 1/17/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great experience. Great hospitality and food. Seen some good deer!"
Big Verleni - 1/16/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Hunted with Kevin for as long as I can remember. Hospitality is great, food is off the charts, and the lodging is very comfortable. These guys go out of their way to help you harvest an animal and I have a bunch hanging on my walls from their place. Do yourself a favor and just book the hunt you won’t be disappointed."
Ray Anderson - 1/16/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Had a great time the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful, accommodations were top notch and food was great, Damon my guide has guaranteed my willingness to return every year"
