Welcome to The Lodge on Ox Lake– Your Family’s Up North Tradition Starts Here
Tucked along the quiet shores of Ox Lake, The Lodge is more than just a luxury cabin—it’s the kind of place where summer memories are made and passed down. This beautiful, lodge-style home is full of rustic charm, modern comforts, and a warm, welcoming spirit that makes it the perfect place for multi-generational family vacations.
From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the magic of the Northwoods. Watch for deer and the turkeys that frequent the property and wake up to the tranquil sounds of loons on the lake. Enjoy quiet mornings with coffee on the deck, then spend your day swimming, fishing, hiking area trails, or grilling by the lake, and end it with s’mores around the fire pit.
Back inside, the lodge wraps you in comfort. You’ll love the cozy living spaces where there’s plenty of room to gather—or find a quiet moment for yourself—by the gas fireplace. There’s a sense of peace here that’s hard to put into words but easy to feel.
You’ll come once—and want to return every summer. The Lodge on Ox Lake is the kind of place your family will look forward to all year, the place you’ll call your “Up North cabin,” even if it’s just for a week at a time.
Create lasting memories in a place that feels like it’s always been part of your family. Welcome to The Lodge on Ox Lake—your new summer tradition.

This property is amazing. The house is beautiful and has absolutely everything you need for an enjoyable vacation away. My family spent 4 nights here, and everyone raved about how lovely the decor and furnishings were along with how well the kitchen was equipped. The lower level is an entertainment dream! It has a shuffle board table, a dart board, a ping pong table, a pool table and a theater room. We all enjoyed the games and the theater, especially the reclining chairs. Outside are a gas grill and a charcoal grill, as well as a hot tub, not to mention beautiful lake views. The only downside for older visitors is the number of steps down to the lake. They do have a lift, but we didn’t try to use that.This is a spot I could happily return to on a yearly basis! I have stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this one beats them all!
