This is the kind of place that looks better than the photos online. Honestly, it's gorgeous- so upscale and well-kept on a calm and quiet lake.
My partner and I stayed in one of the lodge lakefront rooms- which are on the "cheaper" side when compared to the cabins. It did not feel like any less of a luxurious experience- the benefit of staying at the lodge is that you have the library and fitness room right outside your door, plus coffee/tea and the DVD library. You are also right next to the boat house with the kayaks/canoes.
The property itself is stunning- you can hike, kayak, lounge by the lake, or enjoy time in your room/in the library. The garden is a must see- especially in late August when everything is in bloom. It's amazing.
Only piece of advice would be to be prepared for no cell service. I'm on TMobile and my partner is on Verizon, and we pretty consistently had no service on the property. Wifi at the lodge was consistent and allowed us to stay connected where needed. But take the opportunity to fully unplug if you can!

My husband and I stayed at Canoe Bay as a belated 10-year anniversary trip and couldn't have had a better experience. We had actually booked it for last year, but had to reschedule last minute due to a family emergency. The staff was incredibly gracious and offered us a voucher to use at a later date and we were able to rebook for this year - happily so! We booked one of their tiny-home, "Escape" cabins and truly felt like we were in our own private tree house. The cabin was modern yet cozy, extremely clean and had so many thoughtful additions (like sodas in the fridge, bath robes, a lighted magnification mirror in the bathroom, etc.). The screened-in porch was perhaps our favorite spot to sit and listen to the rain and the birds - but safely away from the bugs. We walked/ran the property daily and it was equally gorgeous with great trails, a stunning garden, and so much wildlife! We saw the mama deer and her baby many times, an otter, herons, chipmunks, turtles, geese, ducks, and a huge variety of songbirds (and a few garter snakes!). And the food - WOW. I could not get over the beautiful and delicious meals delivered right to our door in these charming baskets - in the middle of rural Wisconsin! None of them would have been out of place at any five-star restaurant in a big city. They were amazing. The staff was incredibly responsive yet very behind the scenes - you hardly knew anyone else was there except when you needed something, in which case they were very responsive via text and immediately there to assist. Cell service was spotty (we have Verizon), but we hung in there with a decent WiFi connection from our cabin (not 100%, but better than I expected) - but really, it was just a good excuse to stay off screens and enjoy our time together and the beauty around us. We will absolutely be back!

Canoe Bay is really a magical place. We have been making at least one annual visit for a while now. On our most recent stay I consistently woke up to deer grazing right outside the cabin windows less than a few feet away and hummingbirds darting around. The food is always exceptional, incredibly fresh, elevated, and approachable. It is an incredibly relaxing place where you can unplug and enjoy nature’s beauty in a well appointed cabin with delicious food.

Still dreaming about the delicious meals we had at Canoe Bay (both dining room and room service). The property was so tranquil and relaxing. The accommodations and amenities very thoughtful too. Everything about our stay at Canoe Bay was wonderful. We would definitely stay again in the Heavenly Suite at The Inn.

We loved our time at Canoe Bay. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, with lots of incredible grounds and trails to explore. The accommodations were top-notch - everything was clean as can be, extremely comfortable, well-appointed, and convenient. We stayed in the lodge, and the easy access to the library/sitting room/fireplace was one of the best parts of our stay.We also loved the food and the staff. The dining room at the Inn was great, and the option for food delivery was nice and very convenient during the day. Everyone we encountered was kind, accommodating but not overbearing, and made our stay seamless.We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Canoe Bay is a wonderful couples retreat. Quite and secluded, yet luxuriously appointed. The grounds were fun to explore with plenty to do. Food was excellent and the views were even better.

We have stayed at Canoe Bay three times and every stay has been amazing. The grounds are private, quiet, and very relaxing! We have stayed in Escape Village and most recently in a Duplex cottage. Accommodations are beautiful and spotless! We have had seamless Wi-Fi at both locations. We enjoy taking a canoe around the lake and walking the beautiful flower garden. Our most recent in-house meal of pork tenderloin and sides was awesome. Delivered on time and hot and fresh. Love the new wooden box delivery container and stoneware plates - makes the meal feel very special. Also loved that the box and plates were picked up in a timely fashion after we were done eating. All staff we encounter are professional, very friendly, and just plain awesome to deal with. Thank you for our beautiful stays and impeccable service!

We just got back from the most magical, relaxing weekend getaway at Canoe Bay. This place now holds a very special place in our hearts as it truly was a luxurious, peaceful, nature-immersive experience! We stayed for two nights in one of the cozy Escape Tiny Houses and loved it! The screen porch was the perfect place to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, read a book and be surrounded by nature in pure comfort and without the bugs ;). Everything exceeded our expectations including the magical, organic garden full of huge, beautiful blooms and vegetables used for the culinary, top-notch meals created and offered on-site! We did 1 dinner at The Inn and 2 meal services delivered to our room (1 breakfast, 1 dinner). It is such a cool concept and feels luxurious to have these fresh meals delivered directly to your cabin at the allotted times. Be sure to order and reserve your meals ahead of time! It's an experience you won't want to miss! The service was amazing as they made everything so easy for us. I loved that we could just text to make arrangements! We also enjoyed in-room massages, where Gentry Massage therapists come to you! It's easier if you contact ahead of time as they need to arrange schedules on their end. We went for a lovely canoe adventure one morning and a short hike for another. It felt like we were in a dream! Everything looks ethereal which added to the relaxation. I can't say enough good things about this place. You have to experience it for yourself! Thank you for the most delightful, special and memorable experience Canoe Bay! We can't wait to come back!
