Boat, Fish & Bike at The Lodge+Studio on Lake Wissota

A lovely waterfront home, on the Chippewa River, that can fit the whole family with a main house and attached garage turned into a private, fully furnished studio with full kitchen and gorgeous views. All located on a dead end road with views of the Chippewa River. Perfect location allows guests full access to Lake Wissota. Take your boat to the many eateries and sand bar beaches along the 60 miles of shoreline and then tie your boat on our dock at the end of the day. Fish off the dock, enjoy the patio outside or make a fire. 3 blocks away from bike or snowmobile trails. So many options.

Main house: this space has three bedrooms located in the lower level walk-out; two of the large bedrooms feature king beds and a third bedroom has a bunk bed with a queen on bottom and twin on top. The lower level walk-out family room has a fireplace, 2 pull out couch beds and a convenient patio door with easy access to the water and outdoor fire pit. The upstairs offers a large living room with an additional pull out couch bed. Full kitchen with large island and new appliances, plenty of space to do any cooking and gathering. Enjoy a cup of coffee or drink at the drink bar with a seating area that has views of the Chippewa River. On a rainy day, enjoy the 3 big screen TVs, 2 wood burning fireplaces and a cozy living room.

Studio: in addition to the main house, there is an attached studio apartment. This studio apartment offers a queen bed, pull out couch, full screen TV, full kitchen and bathroom. Come and enjoy some family time but also have your own space for a little more quiet and relaxation.
This house is the perfect weekend getaway, week long family vacation or an extended stay to work remote. Even bring the well behaved dog. So much to do for everyone whether you want to be active or enjoy a nice drink and relax. Discounts given for 7 plus days and deep discount for 28 plus day stays.

Things to do:
Wissota State Park: Whether you want to go for a hike or relax on the sandy beach, Wissota State Park should be on your vacation to-do list. Only a 10 minute drive and it offers a large, family-friendly sandy swimming and picnic area, located on historic Lake Wissota, and is set in a beautiful northern wooded area for walking and hiking. Plenty to do for the whole family.

Old Abe Trail: If biking is your thing to do, you are only 3 blocks away (less than a 2 minute bike ride) from the Old Abe Trail. This trail offers 28 miles of beautiful (bike or snowmobile trail) riding along the river and landscapes of the Chippewa Valley. Old Abe Trail links up to over 70 miles of trails throughout the Chippewa Valley. You can spend your whole vacation on your bikes or snowmobiles and visit many of the quaint eateries and historic sites in the area.

Leinie Lodge: Located less than 20 minutes away is the historic Leinie Lodge. Leinenkugel brewery was founded in 1867 and has been a huge part of history for Chippewa Falls.

Great Experience
This house was in a perfect location. Close enough to the Festival grounds in Cadott, but far enough away to be out of any commotion. Jim falls is a nice town to stay in. They have a couple restaurants and a nice gas station just down the road from the property. The house being right on the water was nice for fishing or drinking coffee from the coffee bar on the deck in the morning. The yard is well kept and has a nice fire pit for use. Inside the house, all the bedrooms (beside the attached studio) are in the basement which was nice because it was cooler. The kitchen is larger enough for many people to hang out, and the living room had plenty of seating even with the pull out bed pulled out. The communication with the host was amazing! Their response rate was quick and the messaging was informative. Our group would 100% stay there again.

Nice place; loved the view of the river. Kitchen was perfect for our group of six adults. Nice and plentiful towels. Two very small things that would really be nice: 1. a deck of cards and some board games (if there were any, we couldn't find them) and 2. newer brochures from the area. The brochures were from 2020!

Well-appointed home
Our family really enjoyed our extended weekend. The brick paved firepit area was a big hit for us as was the short stairs down to the dock making getting in the boats super easy. The home is very well equipped with towels, bedding, cookware and service ware. The appliances were all beautiful. The only cons I would have to mention are the bedrooms are all downstairs on basement level and the homes' location is pretty much as far upriver as you can go by boat so the ride down to the actual lake takes some time, but the scenery makes the trip well worth it!

We had 8 women at the property and ran out of water every day by noon and people couldn’t shower, wash hands or do dishes. We had to get water from the lake to force flushing of toilets.

Perfect downtime retreat
A perfect setting for our (adult) family's week of downtime. Clean home with plenty of gathering spaces for reading and game playing. We all enjoyed relaxing right on the river. We prepared almost all of our meals, and the kitchen was great! The owner and property manager were extremely responsive to a minor issue we experienced.

Great home and location
We had a group of 10 and the home fit well for all. We had 6 teenagers and four adults. The two king rooms worked well for the adults. The kids loved the dock to fish from and the fire pit to sit around. We loved the extra beverage fridge which was very helpful. Home had all conveniences including extra paper towel, garbage bags, tp and laundry detergent. This was awesome and we wish we had known as we wouldn’t have hauled everything with or bought at store on our way in. We had two issues with our stay one was check in. When we arrived at the property the code for the box was not accurate. We immediately emailed the contact and tried the phone number for contact. The phone number was also wrong and went to a telemarketing firm (which has resulted in numerous scam calls since). We were able to track down the owner through an internet search and he called back. One other issue was the phone service was not good, we were however able to get connected to the wifi when standing by the front door so that we could make a call. The other item not mentioned in the description is that the garage os converted into another unit that was rented out to another couple. We were aware there was another unit but we didn’t know how that set up was as pictures were not included. We sort of assumed it might have been a detached unit. It was a bit awkward hearing conversations and TV from our bedrooms when it was not from our group. Overall it was not a huge issue and we really enjoyed the stay and would recommend it.

Angler’s Dream
Our father-son fishing reunion was a big hit at this property! The fishing pier/dock was great for catfish and smallmouth bass. The yard served up some mean bocce ball matches. The Old Abe Trail was a short walk away. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed to make dinner for 11 each night. The owners were immediately accessible with the one minor, self-inflicted issue we encountered. This is a beautiful property, in a great location. Highly recommended!

The VRBO was a great home base for our vacation. We enjoyed the bike trail and the kids kayaked and swam right from the dock. Wayne and Julie were fantastic hosts!! We highly recommend this place.

Great location for family trip
We had a great extended weekend trip here in the early (but hot!) summer. Plenty of room for two families to share the space. We loved the outside backyard area. It was a little closer to neighbors than we'd realized - definitely more in a neighborhood than in the woods, but it was fine. We drove to the close state park for swimming, and went on the bike trail. Lovely!
