About this property

Hygge Lodge is a gorgeous lakefront gathering place for year round family fun.

This 1905 building has lived many lives and most recently has been remodeled into a family friendly gathering place. It is located on a beautiful stretch of lakefront property between New Auburn and Bruce, Wisconsin.

Enjoy swimming to sauna to s'mores around the fire.

Conveniently located 1 hour north of Eau Claire and 2 hours from Twin Cities/MSP airport.

Our family has enjoyed time at Fireside Lake since 1998. We are very excited to offer this newly renovated lodge for the gathering of your family and friends. We have beds for 18 (no bunk beds) and 4 bathrooms (4 showers and one tub).

The great room is designed for real life connection while you are doing a puzzle, playing a board game, learning to bake cookies with your grandparents or having a night around the fire.

Kayaks, life jackets, yard games and gas grill are included. Pontoon can be rented for additional fee. Fireside Lake is home to 3 loons and an eagle's nest with baby eagles most summers. Excellent year round fishing with boat landing across the lake.

This is a central location for fishing on many lakes, snowmobile trails, mountain biking and hiking the Ice Age Trail in New Auburn. Christie Mountain is 20 miles away for downhill skiing and also within 20 miles, Ladysmith has the miner movie theater.

There is an owner's suite attached. Private entrances and a privacy fence separate the outdoor spaces.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a great stay the Hygge Lodge. It was the perfect amount of space for our large group with plenty of activities for kids and adults. We had a small snafu checking into the property, but it was resolved within an hour and Jodi and Bob were extremely communicative and apologetic. We highly recommend booking your next getaway here!

We had an amazing stay! We had family members from ages 4 to 85 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean with great views on the water. It was very well-supplied with all the necessities as well as many extras…games, puzzles, paddle boards, kayaks, wood, etc. The beds were super comfortable. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Amazing property that was well appointed. We had 12 adults and 2 kids and PLENTY of space. We spent most of our time enjoying the patio/outdoor space, gathering around the large table for meals, and the sitting area with the lake views. We had absolutely zero complaints. Highly recommend!

Communication with Jodi was wonderful. We rented the house for our annual family vacation. The house had everything we needed from a well stocked kitchen, plenty of fridge and freezer space and lots of bedrooms and living space to spread out. We had great weather to enjoy the patio, There was plenty of seating and options for the little and big kids to enjoy the water. To complete our stay, we rented a pontoon from Island Lake Endeavors.

We brought a boat and the landing was convenient right across the lake. Docked at our pier all week. Jodi was very responsive and brought us a propane tank when we ran out. Loved the sauna....really nice. Not a ton to do without driving at least 30 mins but we only left the house a couple times. We had a great time!

Our group had an amazing stay at Hygee Lodge! The house was incredibly spacious and easily accommodated everyone without ever feeling crowded. It was stocked with just about everything we needed—from plenty of towels and a well-equipped kitchen to games and other thoughtful amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable.The hosts went above and beyond by bringing us a tube to use with our boat, which was such a nice surprise and added to the fun on the lake. Communication was excellent from start to finish—friendly, responsive, and helpful every step of the way.If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-equipped place for a large group, Hygee Lodge is a fantastic choice. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect lakeside location for a large group

We had an amazing stay at the Hygge Lodge! Very spacious communal areas for a large group, including young children. The kitchen is large and well-stocked and perfect for group meals. The location on the water is beautiful and the kayaks/paddleboards were used a ton. Absolutely recommend for a large group wanting to enjoy a relaxing lakeside vacation.

The Lodge had everything we needed and more, including well equipped kitchen, laundry, dock for our rental boat, wonderful deck, fire pit, Lily Pad, and plenty of bedrooms and baths for our group of 10 adults and 3 kids!
