Historic Ponderosa Family Resort on West Fox Lake

Escape the bustle and rekindle simple pleasures at Historic Ponderosa Family Resort, an enchanting woodland retreat on pristine West Fox Lake. Nestled on 8 acres of towering pines and offering over 220 feet of private shoreline, Ponderosa hearkens back to cherished summers of yesterday.

Wake to loons calling across the water and the aroma of crackling campfires. Cozy, rustic cabins exude historic charm while offering modern conveniences. Find adventure fishing for walleye and bass off the dock or paddling kayaks on the glassy lake. As night falls, stargaze and roast s’mores beachside before retreating to your snug cabin under a thick quilt, soothed by the sounds of the woods.

The heart of Ponderosa is a grand log lodge where up 25 guests can eat, laugh and linger together. Feast on home-cooked meals at the spacious table and challenge each other to games in the great room. As the fireplace glows, share stories and songs, or simply enjoy the peace of togetherness in nature.

Escape the trappings of modern life and forge bonds as timeless as the pines. Historic Ponderosa Family Resort offers a place for unplugging, reconnecting and crafting enduring memories. We invite you to experience the simple indulgence of life in the slow lane. Come rekindle the magic of bygone summers on the shores of West Fox Lake.

We'll keep the light on for you!
