Escape the bustle and rekindle simple pleasures at Historic Ponderosa Family Resort, an enchanting woodland retreat on pristine West Fox Lake. Nestled on 8 acres of towering pines and offering over 220 feet of private shoreline, Ponderosa hearkens back to cherished summers of yesterday.

Wake to loons calling across the water and the aroma of crackling campfires. Cozy, rustic cabins exude historic charm while offering modern conveniences. Find adventure fishing for walleye and bass off the dock or paddling kayaks on the glassy lake. As night falls, stargaze and roast s’mores beachside before retreating to your snug cabin under a thick quilt, soothed by the sounds of the woods.

The heart of Ponderosa is a grand log lodge where up 25 guests can eat, laugh and linger together. Feast on home-cooked meals at the spacious table and challenge each other to games in the great room. As the fireplace glows, share stories and songs, or simply enjoy the peace of togetherness in nature.

Escape the trappings of modern life and forge bonds as timeless as the pines. Historic Ponderosa Family Resort offers a place for unplugging, reconnecting and crafting enduring memories. We invite you to experience the simple indulgence of life in the slow lane. Come rekindle the magic of bygone summers on the shores of West Fox Lake.

Family get together
The Ponderosa was a great place for our family to come together The beach area was nice. The water was shallow and did not drop off suddenly. Our small grandchildren loved it. They even fished from the dock and were excited when they caught fish. We rented a pontoon for a couple of days and the older boys went fishing and caught quite a few fish! Making s’mores at night around the HUGE fire pit was great. Had lots of chairs around it. We enjoyed the big outside area where the kids could run and play and where we played several yard games. Over all it is a great place for large families. We all enjoyed it alot
