Stout's Island Lodge
Stout’s Island Lodge is an Adirondack-Style “Great Camp Lodge” modeled after the ones in Adirondack National Park. It sits proudly in the center of the 1800-acre Red Cedar Lake in northwestern Wisconsin, just a two-hour drive from the Twin Cities.
The island resort, which includes two adjacent islands (connected by a bridge gifted to Frank Stout by Andrew Carnegie), includes 43 guest rooms that are situated in 11 unique cabins & lodges located within the sprawling 18-acre property. Many recreational activities, such as fishing, canoeing, tennis, and croquet, are available to island guests.
A creatively reimagined traditional lodge menu - using local ingredients when possible - is served in the epic dining room of the 1903 Main Lodge.
