Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 10-14)
Keywords: Lodge
Totally restored 1928 Craftsman Lodge on Big McKenzie Lake, prime 1200+ acre lake. This is a gem if you want to enjoy a stay on a premier lake in NW Wisconsin. Light House Lodge is one of the earliest large vacation residences built on this lake by "well-to-do" Chicago natives in the late 1920s. We have 220 ft of lake shore, and views of the lake from front and west side of the Lodge. The Lodge sits close to the lake on top of a hill, and it is a climb down to the Lake and back up to the Lodge. We have approximately 2 acres of land, the majority of the land is the "backyard" of the Lodge, great for a softball game. And we've kept the original fencing around it all. You'll enjoy the new patio and landscaping looking over both the lake and the yard as well as the large firepit.
The Lodge is newly restored throughout, we preserved original woodwork and floors throughout and the lake stone fireplace in the living room. The large enclosed porch overlooking the lake is a favorite spot for morning coffee, lunch, and evening cocktails. We hope you will enjoy the combination of restored elements with the comfort of the new kitchen and baths. If you don't wish to stay in for your own meals, McKenzie Landing restaurant and bar are in VERY short walking distance (just down the hill) for a wonderful full dining experience. Multiple other venues are also nearby, from pizza delivery to full dining.
We have a large dock system with plenty of room for your boat, there is local boat rental available for those that wish to rent a boat.
McKenzie Lake is a 1200+ acre lake great for year-round lake activities. In the winter, snowmobiling , cross-country skiing, eagle watching, ice-fishing and attending local events are wonderful.

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!
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.

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!
