Welcome to Spider Lake Lodge, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Northwoods history. Originally built by hand in 1923, this iconic log lodge graces the pristine north shore of Big Spider Lake, offering commanding south-facing views across sparkling island-dotted waters. The Lodge has undergone extensive renovations since 2018, including structural upgrades, a new roof, all-new Andersen windows, and a complete overhaul of its mechanical systems, blending the romance of the past with the comfort and reliability of today. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Spider Lake Lodge features eight uniquely styled guest rooms, nine bathrooms, and eight fireplaces, each adding warmth and character to this one-of-a-kind retreat. The main level offers four inviting guest suites, a chef’s kitchen, a soaring Great Room, a cozy living room, and lake porch, perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. The lower level adds two more suites, two guest rooms, a Club Room, and a sauna for post-adventure relaxation. Whether you are looking for a private compound, a year-round residence, or a commercial opportunity, this property is as versatile as it is spectacular. The home is part of the Moody’s Association, allowing for low-maintenance living with benefits such as dockage, beach access, shared grounds, and some of the best sand-bottom swimming Spider Lake has to offer. Across the driveway is a bonus: a 1,260 sq ft detached garage with a fully equipped guest suite above, complete with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, full bath, and its own private well and septic. Not part of the Moody’s Association, this second lot opens the door to short-term rentals, guest overflow, or a private caretaker's residence. Tucked among towering spruce, balsam, and hardwoods, the Spider Lake Chain of Lakes spans over 1,600 acres of spring-fed waters, with clear depths up to forty-three feet, an angler’s paradise and a nature lover’s dream. Located just fifteen miles northeast of Hayward, this is not just a property—it is a lifestyle, a legacy, and an unmatched escape into the magic of Wisconsin’s Northwoods. Spider Lake Lodge is where history meets opportunity. Welcome home.
