Kandace has spent some 50 years in the Northwoods spending summers in various cottages owned by her family in Eagle River, then St. Germain and finally now in the Minocqua area. She retired from education after 37 years, returned to the Northwoods and opened The Inn at Lindwood in the fall of 2011. She invites you to relax, explore and create memories of your own.

The original 20 acres that would become Lindwood was purchased on May 13, 1996. By the time the property was named Lindwood, the family had acquired some 40 acres of pristine timberland in Oneida County. It was her Father’s vision to create an estate for his children and future generations to enjoy.

The family name “Lind” comes from the German word “linta” meaning linden tree or lime tree. The original bearer would therefore have been one who dwelt “near the lime tree” or “at the sign of the lime tree”. A coat of arms was granted to the Lind family of Sweden in 1575 and contains three leaves sprouting from a log in base proper. Thus the name Lindwood seemed appropriate and embraces the spirit of adventure and resolution that those forefathers brought to a new land.

The Inn sits on 15 acres away from the noise and bustle of the highway and provides a quiet setting to enjoy nature. Lake access to Squirrel Lake is provided through the secluded waters of Inkpot Lake. Boat launching is available on Squirrel Lake and docking is available is you wish to bring your own boat. In winter, the Inn is the closest accommodation to Minocqua Winter Park where guests can enjoy cross country skiing, snowshoeing, skating and tubing.
