Skilly Big Chip Lodge

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.

The perfect retreat

We spent 7 glorious days at Skillys Big Chip Lodge and loved every minute of our stay. The lodge would be great for a family/group getaway but we found it was also perfect for just the two of us. Vintage & rustic chic - fish right off the dock & fall colors. Great host

Gary, the owner, is great to work with and very accommodating. The building is old and very rustic. It needs some work. It’s a fisherman's cabin. I took my sons and grandsons there for a long fishing weekend, for that it was good. I’m not sure my wife would have liked it, but for us it worked out well. It’s like walking into an early 1900’s lodge. We had to bring our own towels, which I would have preferred to not have done. Outside of the cabin is a car port that is filled with stuff and junk all over the place, that you look at when you walk outside. The dock is old and looks like it is going to collapse. If you’re looking for a fishing cabin that accommodates 10 people it will work for you.

Rustic North Woods historic cabin

Just stayed at the Big Chip escape. Pictures don't do justice to the unique and nostalgic cabin with the best view of the lake of any cabin on the Chip. Gary was hospitable and available whenever we had a question. The cabin itself is a unique North Woods experience with all of the features that a group from 5-14 would need.

Great Time/Fishing Trip

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
