There’s really nothing better than a Northwoods vacation. Sure, there are plenty of fun things to do in the small towns that dot this part of Wisconsin, but a trip Up North also means long nights on and by the water, unplugging, relaxing and spending time with friends and family. It’s a slower pace of life. The perfect place to take your family for a Northwoods vacation is the Deerwood Lodge and Resort. This spot has been making family vacation memories for more than 70 years and it’s the perfect secluded spot to get away.
Deerwood Lodge and Resort is located in Lac du Flambeau and has been giving people a chance to escape to the Northwoods for more than 70 years. Opened in 1943, this wonderful escape is secluded from the hustle and bustle and gives you access to all the wonderful things we love about the Northwoods.
This stunning spot is the best of both worlds. Here, you're on 247 acres of pristine, Wisconsin Northwoods land with your very own lake and beach. It's secluded and special. But you're also just 20 minutes from Minocqua and all the amenities and fun you could want from a Northwoods trip. It's privacy and convenience, all in one adorable, charming little spot.
Deerwood Lodge are the only people on the 127-acre spring-fed Fat Lake. All this pristine beauty is at your fingertips and you don't have to share it with anyone else.
You'll find musky, walleye, northern, bass and panfish in the lake and it's perfect for swimming, canoeing, paddle boating, snorkeling and more. The lodge has 14 boats for use - just pay for the gas!
You'll find one big lodge house, which is available year-round, as well as several smaller, two- and three-bedroom cottages which are available to rent May through October.
There's nothing better than getting your whole family together to rent out the whole resort and have a summer vacation together. The Lodge has been running so long that there are families with four generations that have been coming here. Whether you gather up a whole big gang or just use one of the smaller cottages with your immediate family, you won't be able to resist the draw of this quiet, secluded, peaceful place.
And you won't believe your eyes when the stars come out. The wide open sky stretches for miles uninterrupted or dimmed by light pollution. You'll spend plenty of time staring at the stars or hanging out around a campfire - the firewood is even provided for you.
This is a true family-friendly spot that once you visit, you'll want to come back to again and again, year after year. Regulars call it heaven on Earth. It's truly a gem of a spot that offers the best of all the Northwoods has to offer.
Whether you come up with a clan or even just your furry friends, Deerwood Lodge offers an escape from the rat race and is a perfect respite in the middle of the Wisconsin Northwoods. Whether you go in the middle of summer and never get out of the lake or head up in Fall for some stunning foliage, fishing and cozy campfires, this is the sort of place you'll be dreaming of come February.
