Wondering when to plan your vacation to Wisconsin's Northwoods? We have lots of guests who come in the summers to enjoy the Lake and the River, lots of guests in the fall to enjoy fires and fall colors, and lots of guests in the winters to enjoy snowmobiling, ski-ing, and other winter sports, but in spring, our bookings tend to slow down. So why do we believe it is one of the best times to come? Here are our top 10 reasons to visit us in the spring: Cooler temperatures mean clearer skies for stargazing (and this year, viewing the northern lights!) Sit on the dock or around the firepit and see what you can see. Watch the wildlife come alive! Not really, they were probably already living, but you WILL likely see more deer, foxes, rabbits, squirrels eagles and loons at this time of year. Less Traffic -The Northwoods can be busy with traffic in the summers, but in the spring it is still slow so that means less congestion on the roads! Serenity -The lake we are on is typically quiet, but it is even more peaceful in the spring when there aren't as many people around. Take the kayaks out for a morning paddle and enjoy the lake all to yourself! Enjoy the indoor fireplaces every night! Both the lake house and Chippewa River Cabin both have indoor wood-burning fireplaces with firewood included. Better prices !-During this season, we have several discounts that are available (depending on the timing). Right now, we are offering a special on weekday getaways: buy 2 nights, get one free with check-ins anytime between Sunday and Tuesday. Lower minimums -the night minimum in the spring is only 2 nights, in the summer our minimums increase to 4-7 nights. Few to no bugs ! Because the temperatures are still fairly cool there aren't many bugs at this time of year. 🦟 More vacation time -because we are less busy and usually have a few days between guests, chances are high that we can grant early check-in and/or late check-out. A spring getaway is the perfect thing after a long cold winter!
