“Great visit...rustic experience but not primitive"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

Six of us went to Lindsey's recently with 2 adults and 4 teens. We had to reschedule 2 times and they worked with us about that and that was appreciated. It was a decent and relaxing visit, we thought --but if you're persnickety, you may not agree. All basic supplies were there but nothing "extra" (so bring coffee, extra pillows, and anything you 'must have'). The beds were very hard--the mattress nearly killed my husband's back--they're very hard with little bounce or spring. The air conditioner worked wonderfully which was much appreciated for our July visit. So our two 'complaints' would be the mattress quality and access to the river took some walking but it wasn't too bad...I just expected 'ready access' since we rented 'river front'. Quaint water mill that was lovely on the premises. Decent porch area outside cabin with grill and clean grounds around the resort-- we thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay. I would also advise bringing a fan in case your neighbors smoke you can blow their airborn toxins away from you and blow off flies--bring fly spray too.

“Fly Fishing Out of this World!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2009

person found this review helpful

Mine and my wife's stay at Lindsey's was wonderful. The staff there were warm and welcoming. We instantly were made to feel as if we where a part of the family. We took a guided fly fishing trip with Chris Vanwinkle from Lindsey's. To look at him he might would seem a little rough around the edges, but trust me when I say that he is made of gold. Not only does he know the river like the back of his hand, he knows it. His confidence is reassuring and also very productive. I caught more fish on fly than ever before. He wouldn't even tell me the name the fly, but I plan on booking with him again in Nov. for the Brown trout spawn. Maybe I can get him to tell me then. You won't regret it if you stay at Lindsey's

“Always a relaxing get-away....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2009

Folks coming to Lindsey's for the first time expecting a five-star Ritz-Carlton with room/maid service, wifi and a gourmet restaurant will be disappointed.

But....if your goal is a relaxing weekend or week, in a rustic, comfortable, clean, modern cabin, and to fish in one of America's premier trout fishing rivers, you'll leave smiling.

Owned and operated by three generations of Lindsey's for over 40 years, you are greeted like an old friend and made to fell welcome.

Even if you don't fish and just want to lounge around the pool or cook out on the many grills scattered around the resort, or sit and watch the cold, clear waters of The Little Red, you'll like Lindsey's.

But it's the fishing that attracts most folks. The Brown trout world record is currently owned by The Little Red River at something over 40 lbs and daily limits of rainbow's are easily caught. And the restaurant will even cook them for you.

We've been going for many years and always leave smiling.

“If its good enough for a President to visit ..its good enough for me!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2009

Having stayed at LIndseys Resort many many times over the last twenty years it wasn't a hard decision to make this year when faced with finding a vacation spot that would entertain our entire family. Locating a place that would accomodate a variety of interests and tastes... and with a group that included many ages ranging from young children to teenagers to young couples and a few of us "baby boomers"... was easy to do when choosing this lovely resort. We found the cabin large and spacious and a well equipped kitchen was an added bonus. Enjoyed the pool a lot too. The cabin was clean and had a lovely porch on it that served us well as a family who enjoys being outside in the evenings. The fishing guides took a lot of time with the little ones and accomodated the true fishermen in our group as well. The restaurant proved to be a great place for a wonderful steak and a relaxing place to gather at the end of the day. The photos on the walls of the restaurant boast a lot of history that documented visits from former presidents, governors and many many folks from around the country ...those photos were just added proof to our group that we were in great company when choosing to stay at Lindseys Resort.. Can't wait to plan our next trip there soon!!
