This is the best place ever to get together as a group. My family was able to stay together in one nice, clean and beautiful setting. The owners are extremely nice and go out of their way to assist in any means necessary. They also catered us a scrumptious meal. If you don't book this place for your next gathering, then you are missing out. 10 STARS

We had an amazing experience! Bradley was incredibly helpful, able to offer tips about where to fish for the time of year. He was very accommodating, kind. The boats he rents out are in great condition and the motor was like new and worked perfectly. The rooms are very comfortable, water pressure was great, and the atmosphere at the lodge is very friendly, people from around the country were gathered and making friends each evening. We stayed multiple places in Reelfoot lake area, and this was by far the best. Thank you Bradley for all you do!

I recently stayed at the Old Cypress Lodge. To say the hospitality is top notch would be an understatement. Brad has great pricing and his level of customer service was second to none. An example of this would be I had a work emergency that arose while at the lodge. The charger I brought was not working. Brad overheard the conversation and offered up a laptop charger he had for his own computer. He then offered to let me use it for the duration of my stay to ensure if I had to use my computer again I was covered. This was just one of many things I experience while there. I will be coming back for years to come!!

Our family had our reunion here. It was a perfect place to eat, meet and sleep. The view from the back porch is beautiful. Watching the sunset from the deck was peaceful. I dont think there was anything we needed that wasn't provided. It close to town and great places to eat. The people that run this place are good hometown folks.

3 reasons to stay at Old Cypress Lodge. 1. Very updated accommodations and many items not available at other places including central location on Reelfoot, large commercial style shared kitchen area, nice rental boats, and an owner operator who will do anything he can to help make your experience great. 2. Updates and nicely laid out rooms. Each with their own restroom and community restrooms in each wing. Lots of parking. Short walks to get where you need to go. 3. Brad and his staff’s stellar attitude and genuine concern for the experience of their guests was the real difference. Will be back soon!

I loved this place. Came here for a family reunion. HOSPITALITY is the absolute best. The Host/Owner did everything within his power to help us anyway we wanted. He can cook good. And bake good. The view is amazing. There are boats. A huge pier to walk on. This place is worth every penny. I would recommend this to any and all. This a live bate store on the property. Duck hunting. There are great restaurants in the area. Fridges and microwave in the room. Plenty of parking. It is just the best. This is the place to go.

This place is amazing! I stayed here for a 3 day fishing trip and I couldn't have imagined anything better. Brad made us feel at home and the lodge is perfect for what we needed. Plus, the view is breathtaking!! I recommend this place to anyone (experienced or novice).
