The Founders

Kevin & Sharon Tanner founded 212 Lodge in 2012. They started the lodge after attending a difficult family funeral where grieving family members staying at a hotel struggled to find comfortable places to visit and resorted to the hotel breakfast area and hotel rooms.

Upon their return to Faulkton, they labored to transform their family home into a retreat to ensure families, and other groups, would always have a comfortable place to gather. Since then, 212 Lodge has hosted countless travelers, families, hunters, & wedding parties. They have loved watching their dream become a reality.

The Next Generation

Hi! We are Jared and Adrianne Tanner. I (Jared) am Kevin & Sharon’s second son and I served 21 years as a pilot in the US Air Force. During those years, Adrianne and I moved 9 times, spent countless nights apart while I was deployed and flying missions around the world, and had 5 precious children.

We enjoyed our time in the Air Force but when it was time to hang up my flight suit, we decided to return to Faulkton to spend more time together and raise our children in the town we had grown to love.

In July 2024, our family took over 212 Lodge daily operations. We have loved serving our guests and making friends from around the country and world.
