Spacious Fun Stay

This was our 2nd year staying at the Musky River Lodge. The abundance of bedrooms with comfortable beds AND the plenty of bathrooms is great for our group. We stay with a group of family’s with baby’s or young kids and the large spaces are great for us to spread out and hang out. Highly recommend staying at the Lodge.

Perfect Spot

This place is classic up north Wisconsin. Older building with a lot of charm but still has all the amenities. The people who run it are very nice and are on the ball when it comes to special accommodations. I've rented many places on VRBO over the years and they are some of the nicest people I have rented from.

Excellent lodge for family gatherings

The Muskie River lodge is perfect for large family gatherings. There are enough bedrooms and bathrooms, large dining room and great kitchen. The bar and game room in the basement is a hit with kids and adults. This is our second Christmas in January celebration here and we are booked for next year. The wild rivers property management team is fantastic. The lodge was clean and well stocked. They are great to work with and very responsive. The lodge has a lot of rustic charm!

This place had everything to keep 25 people entertained during a rainy week.

This place is huge with lots of things to do inside during our visit. It rained all but 2 days during our week so having a big bar/ game room really saved our trip. This area has lots of options for good food, golf, bowling, shops, fishing. Our host Amy was great to work with and responded quickly. Highly recommend this place for anyone with a large group.

Wonderful week spent with family at the spacious Muskie River Lodge!

This historic lodge is filled with so much character in a beautiful “Up north” setting. Our family loved the spaciousness for our large group. We were able to prepare meals and dine together, play games, sit around the campfire, fish, and visit places nearby for golfing, the zoo, shopping, etc. We had so much fun using the game room in the basement for shuffleboard tournaments, ping pong, pool and air hockey. Even pinball on the video machine! Thanks for being such a great host!

Great stay at a wonderful place!

Muskie River Lodge is a gem! Our large group returns every year we love it so much. The house is spacious & beautiful. It is a mix of historic rustic-like features with a touch of beautiful upgrades. The amenities are plentiful with kayaks, a Paddle boat, fire pit, kids play park, etc. The basement is the best with a full blown game arcade style room with adjoining bar area. It’s a great hang out area & very sound proof to the upstairs bedrooms. We already can’t wait until next year!!

NYE get-together

Lots of favorites about this place - the number of bedrooms, the large gathering spaces, the little alcove spaces to sit and read or have a quiet conversation. But I think the most appreciated thing (which, honestly, not a lot of rentals have to offer) is a kitchen that's as well-equipped and well-stocked as this one! We were able to cook amazing food for a group of 19 and actually had enough stovetop, cookware, and utensils - that's no small feat. There was also enough plate-ware, glasses, and serving bowls that we didn't have to use paper plates and disposable cutlery! It was a delightful and restful stay in the beautiful, snowy northwoods.

Annual Weekend Getaway

I booked this home for me and 10 buddies. We do an annual motorcycle trip so its always hard to find accommodations for a larger group in an area that we actually want to ride around in. This house was perfect for a larger group. Lots of space, grills, and basement bar with ice machine. We stayed for 3 nights and I would definitely rent again if we where back up in this area. Thanks again for everything! We had a great time!
