Welcome to Our Northwoods Lakeside Retreat

A Year-round Lakefront Haven

Welcome to our retreat

HeidelHaus is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Shishebogama, a 700-acre lake with pristine views and opportunities for waterskiing, tubing, wakeboarding, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and more. Our vision is for guests to enjoy both the quiet tranquility of the lake as well as the fun activities available in all four seasons.

Location

Wisconsin Waterfront

HeidelHaus is tucked away on 3 acres in Wisconsin's north woods, yet also is just 15 minutes from downtown Minocqua, a popular lake town bustling with restaurants, pubs, shops, rentals, the famous Minocqua Bats water ski shows, and more.

We are located approximately 5 hours drive from Chicago, 4 hours from Minneapolis, and 4 hours from Milwaukee.

Experience

Lake life

Shishebogama (pronounced shish-ee-BO-gama and meaning "lake of many bays") is a beautiful lake with a clear, sandy bottom. Guests can make use of three kayaks, a large canoe, and can swim and fish right off of the spacious dock. There are also opportunities to rent ski boats for the day/week from a local provider.
