One-Of-A-Kind Winter Lodging in Wisconsin

To experience the best of Wisconsin’s winter wonderland, book a stay at a one-of-a-kind locale far beyond your average cabin or cottage. Memories with loved ones are easily made in remarkable structures made into luxe accommodations — like an A-frame on a cliff’s edge or a beautifully restored barn — surrounded by winter scenes blanketed in white. And with snowy landscapes right outside your door, staying at these unique accommodations guarantees good times both inside and out.

Bayfield Rustic Yurt – Washburn

Yurts are popular as off-the-beaten-path lodging alternatives that allow you and your crew to become fully immersed in nature. The Bayfield area near Washburn is home to some of these circular tent-like escapes, including the Bayfield Rustic Yurts. These insulated structures come with cozy woodstoves, outdoor firepits and striking views of the Bayfield County Forest. It’s also the definition of secluded — you can only access the yurts by foot, snowshoe, ski or fat tire bike.

Camp Lake Resort – Mountain

Like something out of a wintry storybook, the “Gingerbread Cottages” of Mountain’s Camp Lake Resort will transform your stay into a snowy fairytale. Nestled on 127 acres of private land, the snug rock- and log-clad cottages display whimsical details, like bright exteriors and doors that look plucked right out of The Hobbit. Bordering the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, you and your group can get your fill of winter activities before spending the night in one of these magical dwellings.
