- "Great place to stay. Accomedations are wonderful and the peace and quiet is amazing this time of year (May). I would highly recommend this resort!! It is in a beautiful setting with great lake view and beautiful trees and vegetation." - "Had Alderwood on my hit list for a year or two, but could not get in due to availability. When I saw a cabin open in early June I adjusted normal timeframes and booked. Cabins are as described and were perfect for our needs. Stayed in Bayview and at times it felt we were away from others at the resort, but in reality we were right there (best of both worlds). Cabin was ready and clean upon arrival. Management was attentive when needed, but not on property which is just fine. Had a great time and will return. Only change would be to come later in Summer due to our schedules, but will take what we can get at this beautiful and highly desirable resort."

"The peaceful serenity afforded by the area is intoxicating. We loved sitting by an open fire, riding bikes, paddling the canoe as we explored the lake, reading, relaxing, cooking most of our own meals, and just simply enjoying the peacefulness. The lack of a TV absolutely fosters family time. We are definitely planning on return visits!”- P.D.

The Lodge is located on nearly two acres with magnificent lake views of the 1,023 acres of Island Lake. Island Lake is the first lake in the legendary Manitowish Waters chain of 10 lakes all which are all accessible by boat. The Lodge is conveniently located just three minutes from Highway 51 and 15 minutes north of Minocqua. Overlooking a quiet bay the beach makes for good swimming and even on gusty days the bay is generally protected from the wind and waves. Included for our guests' use are two kayaks and two stand up paddle boards. A short paddle to the east, is the Manitowish River that allows for excellent paddling on calm water. Located a short distance to the northwest, is a flat, uninhabited (but accessible) island called Pancake Island perfect for an afternoon picnic. A stone stair case leads to the large patio and entertainment area featuring a fire pit, rock ledge seating, and 12 adirondack chairs and three chaise lounge chairs. To make lake access easily accessible there is a blacktop driveway that extends to the lake front ending at the 63' foot pier for easy loading and unloading of boats.
There's no better place in Manitowish Waters than the impeccably groomed Island Bay Lodge for your vacation and its perfectly located in northern Wisconsin.

Welcome to “Mani Bay Chalet”. This excellent Manitowish Waters cabin has been furnished to a great standard. It’s the ideal retreat for a water-bound & adventure-filled stay, located on the Manitowish River between Rest and Stone lakes. We believe it’s the ultimate location to experience the area the way it should be. Get ready to get inspired! Settle in by zoning out with the whole family in a professionally cleaned home while you gaze over “Oxbow Bay.”
Unfiltered fun for everyone!
This property is amazing all year round for a visit to the lakes.
The Manitowish Waters Chain O Lakes is an enjoyable trek for quiet water canoeists and kayakers. From its origin at
High Lake, the river flows for nearly 44 miles before joining with the Bear River to form the North Fork of the Flambeau River. The 20-mile section featured in this guide is nestled in the northwest corner of the 232,000-acre Northern Highlands-American Legion State Forest. Paddlers will find mostly flatwater with occasional riffles as you glide by open marsh and lush, northern lowland forest. A large number of sloughs provide excellent opportunities for exploration
and bird watching. One of the state's more popular canoe camping rivers is the river, with seven overnight camp areas spread out between Circle Lily Creek and the Bear River confluence.
The frequent wide-open spaces of the marshlands immediately surrounding the river make bird watching easy. Warblers, sparrows, finches, thrush, woodpeckers, wood ducks, and hooded mergansers, are just a few of the species that inhabit the riverway in summer. Eagles are also common; you’ll occasionally see one of their massive nests in a tall pine near the river. Beaver and otter are often spotted, and you’ll sometimes see: fisher, white-tailed deer, raccoon, red squirrel, and the occasional black bear. Our “Mani Bay Chalet” includes a sloped pursuit to the water where kids can play.
Manitowish Waters has a ten lake chain with several restaurants on the waters, free water
skiing shows, and concerts on the water.
Loads to do for all tastes, from outdoor adventures for local explorers to total isolation for those
who prefer the homely and the comfy!

- "We made the best for snowmobiling, looks like we missed all the snow! We ended up trailering up to Mercer and rode north from there. Trails were great. The house was really nice n plenty of room with all the amenities needed. Thank you!" - "We had people of all ages and noone at any point was bored! The family rooms are large enough to accommodate quite a few people and there are also plenty of rooms if people want to split up in smaller groups. We had fun sledding and truly enjoyed the views in winter! We're hoping to be able to return in other seasons as well. Wonderful location and very well kept house! Becca was responsive and accommodating, thank you!!"
