Family stay

This place was nice but needed attention to the details. Although it was fairly clean, this is an old place. Beds are only ok as far as comfort. Plumbing has some issues. The gathering area was very nice though. Lots of room and table was huge for us all to sit around. Would be nice if the outdoor space was better taken care of. Needed a little attention. Mowing etc… If you like geese, this is for you. lol. We couldn’t set up our outdoor games as there was poop everywhere. The appliances in the kitchen were very nice and there’s pretty much all you need to cook. Some of the cookware is pretty old though. Needs to be tossed. The lake is pretty. All in all, I would stay again if some things were updated. Thanks so much.

Large Lake Property

We had 5 couples and there was plenty of room for all of us. Excellent location right on lake next to boat launch. Lower level of house is nice and open with a lot of windows facing the lake. Upstairs has the 7 bedrooms - 6 of which had attached bathrooms. Bathrooms and showers are small but they work. Fabulous outdoor area with a hot tub for even more relaxation.

Great Location

We had issues with broken front door handle. We had to shovel around front door and a path to a side door for entrance because of broken handle. We had a shower not hooked up so couldn't use. We had a broken shower door in another room. There were only 2 big bags for garbage for a house holding 14 people and no dishwasher soap to start dishes at checkout. Nice common area to support large group team bonding time.

Unique lodge

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Timber Lodge. The venue is perfect for large groups; our family (aged 20-82) had fun doing puzzles, playing the arcade and ping pong, and spending time outdoors. The lake is beautiful, calm and peaceful. The “kids” had a ball playing on the trampoline and relaxing on the raft. There were a few issues that arose over the weekend. One bathroom had a hole in the shower ceiling with a “Do not use” sign on it. We got a text on our 2nd day telling us we couldn’t use the hot tub for the duration of our stay. Part of the sectional was broken and unsafe for use. A sink and shower drain were not working. At 7pm on Saturday night, while attempting to feed our large group brats and burgers, we realized the gas grill would not light. A trip to the gas station to fill the propane tank did not help. The grill appears to be very well used and attempts to fix it did not work, it does not appear to be rehabable and needs to be replaced. While we did get someone to call us back on Thursday about a few of our concerns and the septic system was pumped the next day, our other concerns were not addressed. Calls to the company the day after we got home were futile as the voicemail was full. In summary, this site is fantastic for large groups; you won’t find another like it. If the few amenities can be upgraded and fixed I would not hesitate to return, but for the cost of the five nights, I had hoped to get all the amenities that were promised.

Family Vacation 2025

This was our second time to this location. We had another great time. The fishing was even better so the kids were loving it. Did a little boating, boating and kayaking. We did a lot of floating as the lake was beautiful! Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms so everyone had their own. Only problem was fixed asap by the maintenance guy! Thanks for having us!

Beautiful property on Lake Julia

We had a wonderful time at Timber Lodge for our women's weekend. There was plenty of room for all 12 of us. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the lake, swimming, Kayaking (they have 3 kayaks and one canoe), the hot tub and a camp fire in the evening. They have a nice large table outside on the patio for gathering and eating. We were lucky and had beautiful weather. They do have a goose poop problem on lake and the lakefront area was covered with it. We found a rake and a shovel and cleaned up the lakefront area when we arrived. The geese stay away when someone is there. Property management should clean it up before guests arrive. I did let them know. There are seven bedrooms up stairs, six that have their own bathrooms, the one without will have to share with someone. They have two half baths downstairs. Each bedroom has a window air conditioning unit. The kitchen has one as well. There is a large "smart" refrigerator with water and ice dispenser and a six burner stove. Lots of pots and pans. Could use a few more drink glasses. There is a ceiling fan in the living and dinning area. There was a shelf full of games and a ping pong table. All and all it was a nice place to enjoy our women's reunion. We all had a very good time and really enjoyed the lake.

All in all it was a good stay. There’s definitely room for improvement. Beds aren’t great. Yard needed some attention. Mowing etc…. Goose poop everywhere. But certainly enjoyed the large gathering area.

Perfect for multiple families

This was perfect for our annual family vacation. All 3 generations had a great time and plenty of room for everyone. We looked at reserving this for 2025 only to see the price was over double for the same timeframe making it no longer affordable for our family. We would love to return but it appears that isn't going to be an option.

Three family vacation

We had a great time. There was plenty of room for everyone and we loved that almost every bedroom had a bathroom plus 2 half baths on the main level. The setting is gorgeous and the lake was peaceful, with not much traffic. The lake is nice and clear (rocky bottom so you might want water shoes) and we loved hearing the loons. It rained one day and we were grateful for the 2 canopies that were available. This place was ideal for a larger group.

Family reunion

We celebrated our family's 36th family reunion at this property. The house was perfect for us as every family had their own bedroom and bathroom. Sad to see the price increase so much for next year. There were plenty of amenities - liquid soap in every bathroom, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, etc. The yard and view are beautiful and we had a wonderful time reconnecting in the northwoods.

Amazing place loved the HOT TUB

This is my favorite place in the Northwoods and it’s right on the water! We loved having our own bathrooms in the 6 en-suites, the kitchen, amenities and cleanliness were outstanding. Did I mention we loved the 8 person HOT TUB!!! The kids wanted the ping pong table, arcade and darts. The weather was nice enough so we took out the kayaks and canoes too. We are definitely coming back.

Relaxing and Inviting Home

This home is spacious and welcoming, with wonderful views of the lake. I spent two relaxing days enjoying all the home has to offer. Their was plenty of space for me to work, relax and read while reading a book and sitting back on the comfortable furniture. The home was well-maintained and had all the amenities I needed to enjoy my stay. I was able to take daily walks around the area. I highly recommend this home and will be going back.
