Brekke’s Fireside Resort: Your Family-Run Rhinelander, WI Resort on Lake George!

It’s Cabin Time® takes pride in featuring dedicated members like Brekke’s Fireside Resort. For years, they’ve successfully welcomed Cabintimers who find them through RentWisconsinCabins.com. This family-operated resort sits on the shores of Lake George in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. It represents a classic lakeside cottage vacation experience. Brekke’s history stretches back decades. Booking your stay directly with them offers significant advantages for your trip planning and budget.

A Legacy on Lake George

The story of Brekke’s Fireside Resort begins in 1936. Arthur and Wanda Hutchinson purchased the land for $3,000. They built the foundation of the resort, including cottages 1 through 6 and the office building we see today. Arthur passed away in 1943, leaving a lasting mark.

The Brekke family chapter started in 1971. Ron and Carol Brekke bought the resort that year. They introduced updates, adding cottage 8 and establishing the current bar area. Sadly, Ron passed in 1977. Carol faced a difficult decision. She chose to remain and became the heart of the resort for over four decades. Her dedication, supported by helpful neighbors and generations of wonderful guests, kept the resort thriving.

Today, Ron and Carol’s children, Dan Brekke and Nancy Brekke-Jones, carry on the family tradition. They manage the resort with the same commitment to guest experience. While the resort has evolved over nearly 90 years, Dan and Nancy hope the warm, welcoming feeling guests take away remains constant.

Your Lakeside Cottage Experience at Brekke’s

Brekke’s Fireside Resort offers several exceptionally clean housekeeping cottages. These rentals provide a comfortable home base for your Northwoods vacation. Each cottage includes essential kitchen facilities like a microwave and coffee maker. The bathrooms feature showers. Linens are furnished for the beds. Guests should plan to bring their own bath towels and beach towels.

The resort ensures you have tools for outdoor enjoyment too. A 14-foot aluminum boat comes included with each cottage rental. Outside every cottage, you will find a 22-inch Weber grill for cookouts. A picnic table and lawn chairs are also provided. Modern conveniences are available. Guests have access to free Wi-Fi. Brekke’s is also a pet-friendly resort, welcoming furry family members.

Fun on Lake George

Lake George itself is a key attraction. The lake covers 446 acres. It reaches a maximum depth of 26 feet, with much of it ranging from 10 to 18 feet deep. Explore 5.5 miles of scenic shoreline.

Brekke’s offers many ways to enjoy the water. Relax on the gradual sloping sand beach. Swim out to the diving raft for a plunge. Kids love the large lily pad swim mat. Take advantage of the resort’s complimentary watercraft. Kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats, and a canoe are all free for guest use. Remember, your cottage rental includes a 14-foot rowboat.

For those wanting more power, Brekke’s rents outboard motors. They also offer spacious 20-foot pontoon boats with 60hp motors for rent. These pontoons fit up to 10 people. They are perfect for cruising, swimming, or serious fishing. Pontoon rentals are available to resort guests and the public, but must stay on Lake George.

Fishing on Lake George is excellent. Anglers can target muskie, northern pike, walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, crappie, perch, bluegill, and rock bass. You can often catch panfish right off the resort docks. Brekke’s provides a lake map to help you find good spots. Need an edge? Rent trolling motors or portable fish locators. If you keep your catch, a fish cleaning house with running water and lights is available.

Guests are welcome to bring their own boats. There is ample dock space and trailer parking. Power outlets are located near the lake for battery charging (bring an extension cord). Please note, there is no boat launch on-site, but a free public launch is just two miles away. Due to the lake size, wake boats are not permitted.

More Resort Recreation

The fun at Brekke’s extends beyond the water. Numerous land-based activities keep guests entertained. Challenge friends or family on the tennis court or pickleball court. Enjoy classic resort games like shuffleboard and horseshoes. Play pickup games on the basketball court. Set up the net for volleyball or badminton.

Younger guests have a dedicated playground area with swings. Multiple picnic spots are scattered around the grounds. In the evening, gather around the communal firepit. Brekke’s provides the firewood. Need a break indoors? The resort features a bar and game room for relaxation and socializing.

Enjoy a fire in the wood stove while listening to your favorite music – it’s like stepping into a Currier and Ives print!
