Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
From fun in the sun to cozy nights by the fire, Destination Cove is the perfect retreat for whatever your heart desires. With a waterfront location on the shores of Wild Rice Lake (as well as a dock, two kayaks, and a rowboat to help you explore), Destination Cove offers the excitement of the popular Manitowish Waters Chain of Lakes while being quietly nestled in the pines. Gather together around the firepit to swap tall tales and old stories, roast some s'mores, and enjoy the quiet crackle of the burning logs. Destination Cove provides year-round possibilities for living your life your way!
What's nearby:
Ottawa National Forest is only minutes north, Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is just a few towns over, and Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest is all around you. Whether you're looking for a meticulously groomed trail or you want to set your own tracks through a fresh layer of snow amid towering pines or old-growth hemlocks, the perfect trail is waiting nearby. In addition to skiing, many of the local trails allow snowshoeing and fat-tire biking as well.
Wild Rice Lake is a 384 acre lake located in Vilas County. It has a maximum depth of 26 feet. Visitors have access to the lake from a public boat landing. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye.
