This is the perfect place to gather with your closet people. Cook in the chefs kitchen, relax by the fireplace, take a sauna and swim in Lake Superior, and end your day in one of two indoor jacuzzi tubs. You’ll never want to leave!

We are here for you if you need us but don’t interact physically with our guests unless there is an issue we need someone to attend to in person.

Madeline Island is the largest of Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands and the only one accessible by ferry, making it both secluded and easy to reach. Surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Lake Superior, the island offers a peaceful blend of natural beauty, small-town charm, and rich local history.

Visitors come to Madeline Island to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of island life. Spend your days biking quiet roads, kayaking along sandstone shorelines, exploring forested trails, or relaxing on sandy beaches. The island is also home to unique shops, art galleries, and welcoming local restaurants, along with a vibrant summer community that has drawn families and artists here for generations.

Despite its laid-back feel, there’s plenty to discover, from the cultural history of the Ojibwe people to the stunning landscapes of Big Bay State Park. Sunsets over Lake Superior are unforgettable, and the night skies offer a peaceful stillness that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure, quiet reflection, or a nostalgic island getaway, Madeline Island offers a truly special place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
