We are a full service lake front resort in the beautiful northwoods of Wisconsin. We offer great vacations ensuring a comfortable and wholesome atmosphere for the single, couple, family, reunion, or retreat.

All of our accommodations are on the lakefront, providing a breath-taking view of crystal-clear Manson Lake. The lake is about 300 acres and is spring fed which provides clean and clear water. There is a healthy population of muskies, northern, walleyes, bass ( smallmouth and largemouth), crappies, and an abundant of bluegill and sunfish. There is significant structure provided by rock and sand bars, as well as weedbeds affording quality, productive fishing spots.

During the mid summer we operate on the Modified American Plan- providing breakfast and evening dinner, daily maid and linen service, water skiing ( all afternoon), use of paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, sail boats, and row boats, use of mountain bikes, tennis, sand volleyball, daily kids’ activities, and evening family activites.

During the early and late season we also offer the European Plan, which includes rental of a lake-front cottage, bed linens, and use of a row boat. Other amenities are available at an extra charge.
