We had a 3 generation family of 9 people- 7 adults and 2 small children 4& 6 years old- the Lodge was perfect for providing so many amenities and spacious areas for relaxing, eating, playing, puzzling, even work. The furniture and decor are very unique and well done, & provide opportunities for pursuing interests, beautiful views, conversation,& games. Kitchen and dining areas are great: huge beautiful granite island with seating, massive wood dining table easily seating 10-12; another round table seating another 6-8 plus nearby patio with chairs and table. Kitchen has all the pans, cookware, serving dishes for cooking great meals plus 3 refrigerators in house. Oh, and we really appreciated little tables for girls to eat and toys. Very nice bedrooms. ( one thing is that some in our party missed not having window in their room; ) two of the bedrooms had beautiful lake views, rest did not, but sleeping rooms were unique, nice comforters and 4 bathrooms in Lodge. We did rent a pontoon boat which we loved having for rides on lake, swimming from boat. The swimming beach is not ideal for little kids squeamish about lillypads and seaweed, but adults and dog had fun jumping off pier. We ate and grilled many meals , also enjoyed dining at Aberdeen’s in Manitowish Waters, Aqualand in Boulder Junction, and discovering Manitowish Waters beach and restaurant area. Other fun excursions nearby were Wildwood Wildlife Zoo park in Woodruff, store browsing in Boulder Junction & Minocqua.
