Top Ten Reasons to Visit in the Spring
Brittney Gradall • January 25, 2024
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!

The Top 10 Things That Will Ruin Your Summer Vacation...
The Best Waterfall in Northern Wisconsin If you're looking for a great hiking spot that offers unparalleled views of Lake Superior and its surroundings, St. Peter’s Dome and Morgan Falls is for you! The trek to the 80-foot falls is flat and relatively easy. The path to St. Peter’s Dome is slightly more difficult and rugged and is 4.2 miles long, but would be doable for families with elementary aged kids and older. We packed our picnic lunch from Miller’s Market in Hayward to enjoy at the top, and highly recommend it for a fun experience! Practical Considerations: The trail is located about an hour drive from Hayward and requires a $5 cash parking fee per vehicle. We recommend if you aren’t going to picnic to bring water and snacks, as well as plenty of bug spray. It took us about 2.5 hours to do both the falls and the dome, but we didn’t have our kids along. There are bathrooms located at the trailhead and the hiking trail allows dogs on a leash. To see a sneak peek of our time, view our Instagram post about our hike here !
