PLEASE NOTE: Wandawega Lake Resort/Camp Wandawega is a private friends & family retreat, just making initial forays into welcoming strangers into our home. So please bear with us as we attempt to try on our ill-fitting innkeeper's hats : ) If you require an immediate response, lots of hand-holding and attention to detail, then this just might not be the best fit for you. OK, you've been warned : ) Thanks.

Get "back to basics" at Camp Wandawega. GUESTS AREN'T RENTING A CABIN WITH SLEEPING ROOMS as much as they are renting the whole old-school camp experience with canoeing, fishing, hiking, tennis, shuffleboard, archery, fire & s'mores, etc. (none of the activities come at an extra fee when you are our guests)

This private, vintage, modest three bedroom cabin overlooks a pristine lake and wetlands, nestled within the legendary Wandawega Lake Resort, aka Camp Wandawega. The fact that we have no modern conveniences is part of our charm. If you're not sure this is for you we suggest coming up for a visit and a tour before booking. This cabin, along with the rest of Camp Wandawega will be featured in Tereasa Surratt’s new book Found, Free and Flea, coming out in the summer of 2011, published by Random House/Clarkson Potter. The cabin is modestly appointed in period furnishings. The cabin has a half bath, plus access to Camp Showers. It has a simple kitchenette including a vintage fridge (and a hidden microwave, so as not to ruin the charm : ) An outdoor grill and smoker are also available, as are a number of nearby restaurants, bars, grills. Guests have access to all that Camp Wandawega has to offer, from a private beach, a private fishing pier, canoes, rowboats, trails, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, etc.

If you’re looking for fine lodging, look elsewhere, this is old school cabin-living, like you remember from summer camp. The main bedroom is spacious with a queen size bed, plus room for a crib or extra cot. The two guest bedrooms are smaller, with a twin bed in one suitable for one person and bunk beds in the other suitable for two kids. A family of 5 is no prob, more is pushing it, so that's our max. For more info see wandawega.com.

Pets may be allowed with special arrangements; additional fees may apply. Maximum number of guests must be agreed upon before booking.

This is not a "proper" resort, it is a private, friends-and-family retreat that is making a few cabins/cottages/campgrounds available on a limited basis. As such, it is very informal and causal, so please be patient with us, as we are not always available to instantly answer questions.

Before booking, please request a copy of our "Manifesto of Low Expectations" : )

Bookings available primarily from Memorial Day to Labor Day, with some exceptions.

All guests will be asked to sign a release of liability. Please also know that Camp Wandawega still hosts Sunday morning Catholic "mass in the grass" at 10am, weather permitting, a tradition dating back to the early 1960s when the property was owned by The Latvian Marian Fathers. Just don't want you to be surprised if you're there on a Sunday morn and awaken to find 100-200 worshipers gathered at the nearby outdoor chapel : )

  • This place is amazing. It was so beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. David and Thereasa and very friendly, fun and interesting hosts. I felt like a friend of the family instead of a paying guest. I can't wait to return!

  • Had an absolutely fantastic time. Great place to unplug and reconnect with the family! Going through all the pictures and reliving a lot of great moments - especially my son catching his first big Northern!!

  • It can be a challenge to keep 4 kids between the ages of 9-2 entertained and happy, but Camp Wandawega fit the bill! It was truly a bit of paradise for all us, and we're already thinking about a return trip. This place is a blast for the kids, and a trip back to childhood for the parents. We loved the swings in all the right spots!

  • Tereasa & David were incredibly welcoming! We loved staying in their three bedroom cabin and enjoyed the sense of going back in time to another era. Our children were especially smitten with the fishing and the lakeside bonfire with smores! Thank you for a truly memorable family getaway! Jennifer & John Thompson

    Camp Wandawega exceeded our expectations. The boys loved the rope swings, swimming, canoeing, and they expecially loved the tree house. Very peaceful place with lots of things to do or you can just relax and enjoy the scenery.
