THE COMFORTS OF HOME
Welcome to Castaway Lodge, your home away from home. Centrally located in Seadrift, Texas, The Lodge 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 spacious, 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 37" LCD 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, 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.
I have fished the Texas coast for 25 yrs. and have had many great fishing trips. Capt. Kris Kelley, however, provided the most impressive boat ride I've ever been on and proceeded to surpass that with the fishing experience of a lifetime by putting us on top of limits of both Trout AND Redfish. Our entire party is still talking/bragging about it a month later. A truly life-enriching experience.
