Lakefront Resort with Award-Winning Spa

Heidel House Resort & Spa sits on a 20-acre estate on the shores of Green Lake—the deepest natural lake in Wisconsin and an ever-popular destination for outdoor fun. Surrounded by rolling hills and tall oak trees, the lakeside resort is a go-to spot for year-round recreation.

The hotel’s Evensong Spa was named one of the top spas in the country in 2012 by Spas of America. Its focal point is a labyrinth constructed from ceramic tiles and river rocks that occupies 2,000 square feet, with glass-window walls looking out on woodland scenery. During your stay, you’ll receive 20% off select spa services such as massages and facials.

Heidel House Resort is home to several restaurants with lakefront views. A Wine Spectator award winner since 2002, the casual restaurant Grey Rock serves twists on classic dishes like steak, seafood, and pasta. The lounge is a stylish spot to sip specialty cocktails, especially on Saturday, when musicians perform live from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. You can also use your $25 dining credit at the Sunroom, a bistro that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner amid floor-to-ceiling windows.

Green Lake, Wisconsin: Waterside Resort Town with Year-Round Fishing Opportunities and 19th-Century Homes

Green Lake is a picturesque community located in the heart of central Wisconsin. It contains nearly 28 miles of shoreline dotted with bluffs, rock formations, and beautiful Victorian homes. Year-round fishing opportunities, wildlife art centers, and a range of other recreational activities give visitors plenty to do here.

Northern pike, walleye, bass and catfish are just a few of the many fish you can catch from Heidel House’s pier. For a glimpse into Green Lake’s cultural history, head to Thrasher Opera House, located a mile from the hotel. A legendary movie house and social gathering place in the early 1900s, the landmark has since been restored and now hosts concerts and theater shows.
