Elkhorn Lodge on Lake McGinnis

Welcome to Elkhorn Lodge on a beautiful, quiet lake 30 minutes from Wisconsin Dells. Elkhorn is a perfect location for a relaxing getaway or vacation and is a retreat into the tranquility of the Northwoods without the long drive. The Lodge is set on scenic Lake McGinnis, with the most amazing sunsets and sunrises available from the water, pier, yard, deck, or from the Great Room. Bring your own boat with an electric motor and tie up to the pier, or use the provided watercrafts. The non-gas motor lake guarantees a sense of calm and peace.

The property is located in beautiful Adams County of Central Wisconsin near farm fields, forests, and even Amish with their horses and buggies. Elkhorn is close enough to the attractions of Wisconsin Dells for day trips, but far enough to unwind for an evening, day, or entire vacation. Located nearby is: Devils Lake State Park - a must see for any hiking adventure, Roche a Cri State Park - a smaller yet beautiful park, Cascade Mountain for snow sports, snowmobile trails, ATV/UTV activities, hiking, boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, stream trout fishing, or hunting in nearby public lands. World class golfing options are within 45 minutes.

Lake McGinnis is loaded with panfish and you can catch bluegills all day long off the pier, which is sure to create lasting family memories! Also in the lake are crappie, largemouth bass, and northern pike. The sandy bottom, crystal clear waters of adjacent Neenah Creek provides fantastic trout fishing. After a great day on the water or in the Dells, enjoy those amazing sunsets while listening to all the wildlife - the calls of the Canadian geese, and quacks of mallards.

Our Lodge is located 30 minutes from the Dells and 3.5 hours from Minneapolis, 3 hours from Chicago, 2 hours from Milwaukee and 1 hour from Madison. Included on the property are kayaks, a canoe, and a rowboat. Nearby is a boat landing and electric motor boats are welcome at the property.

Elkhorn is a completely renovated Lodge that features 3 levels with each level having a bedroom and bathroom. It is extremely clean and tastefully decorated with rustic-modern touches. Several families can enjoy being together while having their own space. All 3 bedrooms have queen beds and 2 bathrooms have showers. Smart Tv’s are located on the main and lower levels. The main level has a dining room, fully stocked kitchen, and a stunning Great Room with lake views from every angle It has an electric fireplace (electric fireplace is seasonal use only). Off to the side is a coffee bar for that morning cup of coffee which can be enjoyed from the wraparound deck.
Upstairs is a bedroom, bathroom, and loft with a bed and desk. The perfect setup for school, working remotely, or yoga. A view of the Great Room and lake are visible from this loft.
Downstairs is a bedroom, full bathroom, family with a TV, foosball table, board games, and a Wii with multiple games. There also is a walkout to the outside.
Make memories around the large fire pit surrounded by Adirondeck chairs or relax lakeside in a hammock or at the picnic table while cooking on the provided grill.

If you like local wineries be sure to check out owner favorites: Fawn Creek Winery with great music bands is only 20 minutes away. Prairie Hawk Winery also with music and house made mead is 20 minutes away. Broken Bottle and Balanced Rock Wineries are 30 minutes away while Baraboo Bluff Winery is 40 minutes along with Driftless Glen Distillery. Another owner favorite is the Redneck Saloon only 1 mile away. This bar is a great spot to grab a drink and be sure to try their home made pizzas.

Nice little getaway
We had a great time getting together with family! Our nieces enjoyed the water, canoe and kayak. We were able to grill out too. The location was a bit lackluster but the water view made up for that! The beds weren’t the most comfortable unfortunately but the rest of the house was beautiful! Redone nicely!

Girls trip
The stay was great, the locals were great. The cabin was great, just a couple suggestions. First it would have been nice to have the correct code for the door when we arrived, the first step going up the fro t steps is a High step, it would be great to adjust that with more than gravel that has washed away. The steps off the deck by kitchen door could use some TLC and the website could use a update on what is in the kitchen for cooking. Also I feel like for the cost of this rental, firewood should be included.

August visit
Our family enjoyed the cabin. We spent a lot of time on the dock fishing. We also took out the kayaks and boat on the lake. Life jackets are at the cabin for use. We used the campfire a couple times. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the Dells and we did that every day for various activities. The cabin was well stocked. We didn't need to run to Walmart for anything during our stay. Lots of different spaces in the cabin to hang out, in addition to the 3 bedrooms. Pictures are accurate. I would recommend this cabin, especially if you want to be away from Dells traffic and enjoy a nice lakeside cabin.

Great Stay, House Is As Advertised
This house was as advertised. It was very clean. Having the rowboat and kayaks was great to entertain the kids and go fishing. While there is not much to do in the town, getting to the Dells takes about 25 minutes which is an easy drive.

Good overall with a few improvements needed
Our stay at McGinnis Lake had positive and negatives. The lake itself has a very mucky bottom and so our first destination was into the Dells to buy everyone water shoes. Our granddaughters did enjoy all the little fish swimming around the dock and we definitely loved used all the boating options and the fire pit. The bedrooms with bathrooms on each floor worked well for our family. There was only 3 hooks on the back of the main bathroom door for towels with neither of the other 2 bathroom with even a towel bar so we ended up using chairs and railings for towels. We love to cook together while on vacation and the kitchen had the bare minimum for pots, pans and serving so we had to become very creative to make things work.

Relaxing Vacation
Listing as advertised, house was clean and well maintained. On small lake, kayaks were provided, which was nice. Close to Wisconsin Dells, about 30min drive. Plenty of room in the house for everyone to have their own space.

Exquisite Lakefront
Beautiful A-frame with plenty of space for everybody to vacay their way. 8 miles to town in case you need something. We'd love to go back.
