Gather your family and friends any season of the year and start building your special “Up-North Memories” at Big Elk Lodge. Big Elk Lodge is a private home located on the shore of Clear Lake, one of nine amazing lakes on the Manitowish Chain covering over 7,000 acres of water, connected by seven miles of scenic channels to explore. Big Elk Lodge will comfortably accommodate your group in summer, fall, winter, and spring, whether you are looking for peace and quiet or some high adventure.
Inside, the home features 3,300 square feet spread across two levels. You'll have four well-appointed bedrooms, with a king bed, one queen, and six twins to divide between your group, and there is even a sleeper sofa available for extra guests. On the upper level, you'll find the living room with a large flatscreen TV above a stone wood-burning fireplace, a game table, a dining room, the two main-level bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a full kitchen equipped with all the appliances and counter space you'll need to prepare delicious meals.
Downstairs features two bedrooms, a full bath, a laundry room, and the large family room that features a TV, and there is a Ping-Pong table, a game table, with lots of puzzles, games, books, nature guides, and maps to explore. The central AC will keep everything nice and cool on hot summer days, and you can take advantage of the free WiFi to research tomorrow's next family adventure.
