The Inn at Marshtown can only be truly appreciated when seen or hunted in person. The lodge is very private and remote for this area. It is only house on this public road sits on a 1,000 acre farm. To the east is the 19,000 acre, Bombay Hook Federal Wildlife Refuge. The numbers of migratory waterfowl you will see sitting on the front porch add to your stay. The second floor has a view across the refuge to the Delaware River to watch ships traveling north to the ports of Wilmington and Philadelphia. Our fields are located right out the front door and when you hunt, you will be surrounded by other grounds of the Preserve. Located only five miles from Dover, there are several great restaurants or the casino at the Dover International Speedway.

At the preserve, we limit the use of our fields to four hunters per day. We prefer to rent the Inn to only one group at a time so parties are not mixed.

The atmosphere can be described as extremely peaceful, pleasant, and tranquil in every season of the year. Just try to imagine yourself on the front porch in the middle of nature relaxing after a hunt. You are far from the hustle and bustle of your normal everyday world. You could be rocking in a big comfortable rocking chair and relaxing and all the while listening to the sounds of the wild in the distance. We are now booking hunts for the current hunting season .
