Luxury Lakeside Penthouse Lodge with Boatslip and Bunk Room!

Welcome to Knotty Barrel Lodge

Our dream was to create a luxury lodge that captures the heart of those unforgettable Wisconsin moments. Knotty Barrel Lodge is more than a place to stay, it’s a place to gather, celebrate, and reconnect.

The Knotty Barrel Lodge is your nostalgic Northwoods escape on Lake Minocqua. Perched above a stylish Wisconsin supper club, this luxe lodge features a private boat slip, floor-to-ceiling lake views, a cozy bunk room built for laughs, and your own private bar. It sleeps 14 and blends the magic of summer camp with elevated comfort. Steps from downtown and the Bearskin Trail; come make memories that stick.

The Lake Room
Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook Lake Minocqua, providing a stunning backdrop for the gathering area, dining table, ping pong, and pool table. There’s even a retro gaming system for a little friendly competition.

The Fireplace Room
A cozy spot to gather around the fire, watch a movie on the big screen, and enjoy drinks from a historic bar that echoes the charm of yesteryear.

The Fox Den
A private suite with a king-sized bed and a cozy getting-ready area, perfect for those who want a little retreat within the lodge.

The Bunk Room
The ultimate bunk room experience with 3 handcrafted triple bunk beds; 6 queen and 3 twin beds, each with a privacy curtain and dressed in cozy Pendleton quilts. It’s like summer camp, but even better!

The Kitchen
Fully stocked with everything you need to whip up your family’s favorite casserole. Plus, there’s a charcuterie station and a coffee and tea bar to fuel your mornings and unwind in the evenings.

Bathrooms & Showers
We’ve thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The lodge features two showers, a full bath, and separate men’s and women’s bathrooms, ensuring plenty of space for everyone to get ready.

The Deck & Pier
A deck overlooking Lake Minocqua invites you to soak in the view. Soon, a 12-slip pier will offer a place to dock, with one slip dedicated just for our guests.

Why We Built This
In a time when we’re more disconnected than ever, glued to our screens and rushing through life, we need places where we can slow down, be present, and reconnect. That’s exactly what Knotty Barrel Lodge is all about. We can’t wait to share this magical space with you.
