WELCOME TO "CASTAWAY LODGE"
THE COMFORTS OF HOME
"Welcome to Castaway Lodge, your home away from home. Centrally located in Seadrift, Texas, The Lodge is owned and operated by Kris and Wendi Kelley and boasts over 5,000 square feet of comfort and privacy. Built in 2007 and nestled among our large established trees, silence is golden and convenience is paramount."
RELAXATION
A focal point at The Lodge are the large covered areas including a 1,500 square foot wraparound outdoor kitchen offering indoor/outdoor dining and "fireside conversation lounge".
Our guests enjoy well designed Quarters offering the privacy and seclusion of a Suite style room and "in room" bathrooms. The Quarters has a Great Room centrally located offering relaxed conversation, Satellite Plasma TV, wet bar, and Poker table. If mixing business with pleasure, it is the perfect backdrop for entertaining clients, meetings, and team building.
TEXAS HOSPITALITY
Texas syle dining is a specialty at The Lodge and you can't beat Wendi's home cooking. Take a deep breath and let her spoil you. Enjoy the smells that bring back the memories of those family gatherings and a simpler time when things moved slower.
Breakfast is typically served buffet style including an egg casserole for a hearty breakfast taco. Return from a day on the water to "soup and sandwiches" featuring Wendi's locally famous Chicken Noodle, Vegetable, or Chili (seasonal) and the cold cuts of your choosing. Dinner time will leave you limping away from the table with the best "down home cooking" around. Variety is the spice of life and our menu ranges from Omaha Rib-Eyes to fresh local Seafood in a combination of local and International Cuisines. Have you ever had homemade Oyster Stew, you'll find it here "in season".
WENDI'S SIGNATURE DISHES
Seadrift Seafood, start with the best and the freshest and the rest is history. When we say that the shrimp or fish "slept in the Gulf last night", we mean it! From local white and brown shrimp, Flounder, Black Drum, Oysters, and Blue Catfish, Wendi likes to serve it grilled and fried.
Omaha Rib-Eyes, the best come from Nebraska and you'll find the flavor of a "Choice" cut of meat cooked to perfection.
Pasta Oillo, originating from Italy and incorporating Pasta, Virgin Olive Oil, sauteed scallions, and a variety of meats including steak, chicken, and seafood.
Deepdish Casseroles, served with a variety of base ingredients from her knee bending Lasagna to her King Ranch Chicken, "it's all good"!
Oyster Stew, handed down to Wendi by local Seadrifter, Butch Mullins,this is a delight featuring fresh local Oysters.
Baked Delights, including Wendi's "signature" chocolate chip cookies and a variety of cream pies for those "special occassions". Forget about the diet, it won't happen here.
Whether you are pursuing Texas Redfish, stalking the bayflats flyfishing, or experiencing the best of southern duck hunting, we’ve got the lodging for you.
HUNTING LODGE
When it comes to Deer hunting in Texas, stalking Nilgai on the coastal plains, or Exotic hunting, many of our ranches have on-site lodging with comfortable accommodations.
While attending to the special needs of small private groups is a given, we consider corporate groups a specialty. The hunting and fishing lodge is the ultimate location for off-site meetings and team building. The staff at the lodge provides the perfect backdrop for combining business and pleasure. From contests to conferences; audio-visual to meeting rooms; we make the arrangements that fit the specific and varied needs of the group. Let us take the “hassle out of hosting”. Our experience with numerous corporate groups insures that everything will run smoothly.
There was no need for an afternoon trip because our cooler was filled by 10am. If you want to have a great time, share some "hilarious jokes!!", lather up some trout and nail down on 'em then contact Capt. KK at coastalwaterfowl.com.

I can't even begin to tell you what a great switch it was slamming on the Trout with you and Wendi. Sharon and I learned so much about croaker fishing it's not even funny. This is the sort of day you tell your friends about so they know what they're missing.
