If there’s one thing I’ve learned since opening Highland Lodge, it’s that the lodge shines brightest when a single group has it all to themselves. That’s why our exclusive lodge buyout option has become so popular. It’s more than just a block of rooms—you get a ten-room lodge, your own pub and hall, private meal service, and an innkeeper who acts as both concierge and bartender, all without breaking the bank!
When you’ve got Highland Lodge to yourselves, it’s like borrowing a friend’s place—only bigger.

Everything Under One Roof
An exclusive lodge buyout means complete privacy. The pub, hall, firepit, and pond path are all yours, with no need to share common spaces with strangers. Families love spreading out without worry, and corporate groups appreciate having meeting and gathering areas that are truly private.
And then there’s the food... With our full commercial kitchen, you’ll have a private caterer to plan all your meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Start your morning with a hearty lodge breakfast, break for a casual lunch in the pub, and enjoy a custom dinner menu in the hall or out on the deck. Having meal service right on site keeps your group together and makes hosting stress-free.

Hospitality, Built In
The real difference in booking Highland Lodge exclusively is that you don’t just get a space—you get people. As your innkeeper, I act as an on-site concierge, helping you plan excursions and making sure everything runs smoothly. Need bar service? We’ve got you covered with a bartender on site just for you!
It’s like having a boutique hotel staff all to yourself, with the personal touch that comes from a small-town innkeeper!
Perfect for Golf Groups and Race Teams
Two types of groups in particular love our buyout option: golf groups and race teams.
Golfers: With Whistling Straits and other championship-level courses just a short drive away, Highland Lodge makes the perfect “home base.” After a day on the greens, your group can relax around the firepit, enjoy a drink in the pub, and let someone else handle dinner.
Race Teams: Road America weekends are always a highlight here. We’ve hosted teams who appreciate the space for gear, team meals, and strategy sessions. Having the lodge exclusively means your team can focus on racing while we handle the rest.

Off-Site Adventures Made Easy
Part of what makes a group stay memorable is the chance to explore together. We often help families and corporate groups arrange outings to places like:
Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center – Hands-on, family-friendly agriculture experiences.
Wisconsin Maritime Museum – Great Lakes history and a real submarine tour.
Kohler Waters Spa – For groups that want relaxation and luxury.
Whistling Straits – A bucket-list golf course with stunning views.
No matter your group’s interests, we’re here to make planning easier!
Tailgates, Lodge-Style
We’re also just 45 minutes from Lambeau Field, which makes Highland Lodge a fantastic stop for Packers weekends. Book the whole lodge for your group, head to Green Bay for the game, then come back to your private pub for a post-game celebration. It’s like hosting your own private tailgate party—with rooms included!

Why Groups Choose Highland Lodge
At the end of the day, groups choose our exclusive lodge buyout because it’s the simplest way to bring everyone together. Instead of juggling hotels, restaurants, and event spaces, everything is here:
Ten guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms for up to 24 people
A private pub and hall
Meal service with a dedicated caterer
An innkeeper/concierge to help plan and host
Private, secluded back deck, fire pit, and fishing pond
It’s the kind of setup that makes reunions, retreats, golf weekends, and race-team stays not just possible—but unforgettable.
When you have the entire lodge, you don’t just get a place to stay. You get your own spot to kick back, even if it’s just for the weekend.
