The Lodge Hotel & Restaurant is located on Highway 69 S. It is situated on 17 acres of beautiful Oak Trees overlooking Bear Creek Golf Course. The Lodge was originally a private residence of Gerald and Mary-Jo Bowman, son-in-law and daughter of the late John K. Hanson, founder of Winnebago Industries. On the quarter mile drive-way entrance you feel as if you are driving in a majestic forest of Oak trees.
The Lodge is currently owned by Byron Perrine, a retired pastor from the Minneapolis area. The restaurant is under management of the Executive Chef Al Karalius, he is a Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts graduate. He has adapted a new menu not seen in this area. His menu is of French inspiration with classic French sauces and cooking techniques. There is not a restaurant between Minneapolis, Mn and Des Moines, Ia that provide this style of cuisine. Whether you come in for something as simple as Bouchee a la Poulet (rustic chicken pot pie) Sea Scallops Linguini and Herbed Bechamel sauce, or one of the 6, including his very own 3 signature 10oz House Ground Choice Brisket Burgers, you will be completely delighted. There is simply not another restaurant along Interstate 35 between the capitals of Minnesota or Iowa that will offer up a menu such as the menu at The Lodge. Make your reservation today, come in, stay over night and experience an entree you cannot get anywhere else in this area.
