Stanley's strives to provide you with value for your vacation dollars. We know what components of your vacation are required and will put those into each package. Our policy is to not "nickel and dime" our customers, and lure them in with one price and then slap on "extras" once you are at the resort. Please read what each package includes and we also explain what is not included. This usually amounts to taxes, food, and optional boat and motor insurance.
The following is a list of items that if you are considering other resorts or lodges that may be considered extras:

These are all important things that you should know up front when considering you fishing trip. Many times our guests have mentioned to us that the "extras" at other lodges have surpassed the cost of staying at Stanley's, while the facilities, equipment and service didn't measure up. This is why Stanley's has been operating for close to 75 years as a family run resort, because we provide quality packages that offer a great value for your vacation.
