Un-Roughing-It! Ross' Teal Lake Lodge is a traditional north country resort, in the woods, along the lakeshore of the Quiet Lakes -- an unspoiled wilderness where time stands still.

Teal Lake, with its six wilderness islands, is a paradise for a fishing, golf and lake resort vacation. Let your spirits take flight on the scenic fairways and dramatic greens, as a gracious addition to their family-run luxury resort includes a beautiful 18-hole golf course.

Guests can look forward to AAA 3-diamond-quality lodging and accommodations. Updated guest cabins and lodges are all of superior quality and offer hotel amenities such as daily maid service, a heated pool, and sauna, as well as bikes, water bikes, fireplaces, free wood, full kitchens, all linens, swim towels and more. Choose an apartment with a lake view or a rental that's along the lakefront.

As Tim Ross explains, "Our product is an intangible. It's maximum service, quality facilities and intense privacy. We're not the kind of place that rounds everybody up at 10:00 to play quoits. What you want, you get." He adds, "The kind of atmosphere we provide is dying out. There are very few of the old-time resorts left. We have the full service...and we try to preserve as much of the "old fishing camp" character as possible, but we've kept our facilities up to date..." In addition to these concessions to modernity, Ross' retains the rich nostalgic flavor of an early 20th-century sportsman's retreat, even in its new golf course.

Ross' offers a wide variety of activities throughout the year. In May, watch Fishing Has No Boundaries (FHNB), the first fishing event in the world for disabled persons. In June is the Musky Festival. In July, enjoy the Lumberjack World Championships - international world championship lumberjack competition, and Honor the Earth Pow-Wow -- the largest traditional pow-wow in North America. In September, the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival -- the largest off-road bike race in North America. Ross' is famous for musky, plus walleye, crappie, and other northern lake and stream fish. You can learn secrets from their own guides and special techniques from Ross' own fishing school.

In the tradition of unspoiled wilderness, a gracious and gorgeous forest golf course, Teal Wing Golf Club, designed for differing ages and abilities with five tees. From gold , it records a slope of 139 yards, but the foremost purple tees avoid hazards and play half that length. Teal Wing Golf Club was described in the June 1998 edition of Wisconsin Golf magazine as "one of the Upper Midwest's best back-to-nature courses."

Home Cooking:Ross' takes pride in the best ingredients and home cooking! They receive many compliments on their superb meals, day after day, year after year. They've had over 75 years to get the recipes right! Many recipes are unchanged from Great-Grandma Virginia's in the 1920's; others are tried and true family favorites from the succeeding Mrs. Rosses. Because of their home-cooking, special dietary needs can usually be accommodated with advance notice.

With their fine cooking hailed in magazines like the Chicago Tribune and Wisconsin Trails, you are definitely going to get a meal to remember. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, you are presented with full-course, hearty meals.

After your full day of exploring, resting, eating and resting some more, you will positively thank yourself for choosing to stay at the unsurpassed Ross' Teal Lake Lodge.
