About the host

Hosted by Jon Ballard

Host profile image
After building Bobcat Lodging for our own use, we quickly realized how often others were looking for the exact same kind of space—something that could truly fit a large group without sacrificing comfort. Friends, family, and even people in the community started asking if they could rent it for reunions, snowmobile trips, or retreats. We decided to open it up as a vacation rental so others could enjoy the space as much as we do. It’s rewarding to see it filled with laughter, stories around the table, and groups making their own Northwoods memories.

Why they chose this property

We built Bobcat Lodging because we were always looking for a place big enough to bring all of our friends and family together—especially for snowmobile trips and summer lake weekends. Most rentals we found were either too small, too cramped, or couldn’t accommodate trailers, gear, and groups comfortably. So we decided to create something different: a high-end, functional space where everyone could gather in a big open living area, cook meals together, and still have enough room to spread out at night. It’s been a dream come true for our own gatherings, and we’re excited to share it with other families and groups who want that same experience in the Northwoods.

What makes this property unique

Bobcat Lodging was custom-built with groups in mind—offering the rare combination of spaciousness, modern luxury, and unbeatable Northwoods access. Unlike standard rentals, this high-end shouse (shed house) features two full levels with identical layouts, each with its own kitchen, living, and dining space, plus 13 total bedrooms, making it perfect for large families, retreats, or clubs. Guests love the ability to gather in the expansive open-concept common areas, then retreat to private sleeping quarters. Add in marble countertops, premium finishes, fenced pet area, and direct access to ATV and snowmobile trails, and you’ve got a truly one-of-a-kind group getaway.
