Rustic lodge with a nice view of Moore’s bay. Having your own bar is great, spent most of our time off the ice hangin at the bar.
5.0
The location is incredible overlooking Moore's Bay. Easy access to ice fishing and there is a private dock for the summer months. The bar room is the centerpoint of the cabin and makes an excellent spot for groups to gather. Gary is always available to answer questions or help out if needed.

View was amazing. Cabin was interesting. We had a awesome time. The 15 seat bar is actually in your cabin. Not an active bar anymore but very cool. No bars in walking distance that were open. It was early November so i am sure most resort bars close down.

Gary's place was as advertised and fit our needs well. We ended up having four adults for three nights. This is a unique property, formerly a bar and has ample sleeping arrangements upstairs for larger groups. I wouldn't stay here with my wife and kids, but with three buddies it was perfect, and Gary was more than accessible and accommodating.

Love the Chippawa Flowage, the cottage is great for a large group, we had 6 adults, 2 teens, and 4 kids under 10. There was plenty of room for all. We've already rebooked for next year.

Good place for a family vacation, great old lodge, the bar area is just like stepping back to the 70s or 80s in an old Northwoods lakeside bar, and it's yours for the week.

Our group had a great stay, Views are incredible!
Really enjoyed the bar space, common areas and all the amenities (wifi, cable tv, music).
Being right on the water is great, no long walks to the dock. Huge deck to enjoy with beautiful views of the water.
Would definitely book again

Big Chip Lodge is a great place for a large group to hang out and enjoy the beautiful lake. The property itself is an old lodge from back when the surrounding area was a resort. Its got an old school cabin vibe with all the modern things you'd expect from a VRBO (great Wi-Fi, sound system with indoor and outdoor speakers you can hook your music into, two fridges and a chest freezer, great TVs for hanging out and enjoying a movie or a game). The lake view is wonderful and the docks are an excellent place to fish. There is even some availability of bait right on the property. My friends and I had a ton of fun and will definitely be back as soon as we can arrange it!

Very unique cabin. We loved the history of the bar. So fun to see pictures and articles on the bar top.
The fishing boat worked well for 4 of us!
We would stay again!

The lake is outstanding…so is Gary, the owner. Who lives next door. All the neighbors are fantastic too. Its tucked in behind a small RV park with cabins on either side. The building is old and you can feel the history. Very cool. Don’t expect pristine. Expect rustic with the basic amenities. We were sad to leave. The place grows on you. Needs a good cleaning upstairs. Kitchen, bathrooms and appliances are all well cleaned…not so much the rest of it. The long bar on the main floor made feeding everyone so easy! The view is incredible. The lodge has LOTS of room. Never felt crowded. We would definitely go back….but its not for everyone

Fun bar. We all liked sitting at the bar overlooking the beautiful lake. Very rustic. The floor creaked wth every move. Could use cookie/jellyroll pan. (Could have used a thorough cleaning before we got there.) Didn't see Murphy bed mentioned. Could have used more chairs on the deck. Pontoon was GREAT! Overall good time!!!

Property was just as pictured on VRBO. This was our 2nd year booking this property and we have booked it again for next year. Very family friendly grounds with playground and on the water. Kids have a fantastic time!! The bar area is a great hang out spot for meals, gathering, socializing, playing games, watching TV, etc.!! We rented the pontoon for the 2nd year for a day. Great times!! Gary is an excellent host!! He answers all questions and is available is needed. He also hung out with us around the campfire and sang songs with his guitar!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Gary was great to deal with. Cool bar overlooking the lake. Nice large kitchen with 2 refrigerators and a full freezer. Beds were comfy. The only complain would be the place needs a deep cleaning. But we would definitely stay there again. Thank you Gary for a great week.

This is our second year in a row staying at the Big Chip Lodge. Gary is a great Host and is there if you need anything. Unfortunately this time, the pontoon boat we rented with our stay from Gary was not working properly. Gary tended to the problem, but we were not able to use it as it needed to be repaired. Gary gave us some of the money back. The bar area and the deck our great spots for relaxing and hanging out. If you are looking for great place with a lot of vintage and nostaglia, this is your spot!

Unique, one of a kind property.
We enjoyed our Birkie weekend with great views of the lake and lots of space for our group. The bar was a real draw for us as it created a great space for TV, eating, games, and a lot of smart talking! We loved the large kitchen, living room area, "ladies & men's " bathrooms. The rooms are great with lots of options for sleeping. Our disappointment was the cleanliness.
