  Our family of ten adults and three little ones thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lighthouse Lodge. The Lodge is beautiful with a wonderful mixture of log cabin beauty and updated features and decor. We enjoyed seeing old photographs and memorbila scattered throughout. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and so were able to cross country ski on the lake, hike in the area and sit out by the bonfire under some amazing blue skys in the afternoon and also into the evening with a starlit sky. We were able to relax, spread out and play games in the roomy living area and have a puzzle going in a very comfy sitting room off the dining room, which we were pleasantly surprised with as it wasn't featured in the photo display. The beautiful, fully equipped kitchen became a busy focal point as we cooked all our meals there. Because of the winter temperature we did experience a variety of temps throughout the lodge, especially for sleeping. So good to be flexible with who prefers a cooler sleeping room, as in the downstairs bedrooms, and warmer in the upstairs. Having the fire place going indoors was a wonderful addition for ambiance plus warmth during the day. Playing and working together was an incredible opportunity for our family as, like most folks, we are all so very busy in our "normal" routine of life and don't get such an extended time together. Lighthouse Lodge was truly a gift to us and we are eager to return. Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous get-a-way with our family.

  Our family was at the Lighthouse Lodge for an extended weekend and we had a perfect vacation. There were 14 of us, 8 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 2-14. We had plenty of room for sleeping eating, playing games and a movie or two. We went boating on Big McKenzie, canoeing on the Namekagon River and played lawn games on the well maintained lawn. The fire pit was large enough to seat all of us for a dessert of s'mores and stories around the campfire. The lodge was clean and well maintained, the beds comfortable, and the 1928 atmosphere was wonderful! It was a perfect spot for a family vacation!

  we had 12 people stay at the lodge-5 adults and 7 children. we were never crowded when rainy weather struck. the lodge was beautiful-completly updated with modern amenities while keeping the character of an older home. the lodge is located about 20 minutes from spooner, 20 minutes from trego (the namekogen river is perfect for canoeing!), and 90 minutes from duluth. the kids caught a ton of fish off the dock, even a few keepers! we have already booked for next year!
