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.

This was a great location for our family reunion. It was nice to have various cabins for each family. The host was very communicative and helpful. The lake was perfect to play in and there was alot of yard space for games and for the kids to run around with. Overall it was a great stay

We had a family vacation with 17 and 3 dogs. Very pet friendly! The kids had a blast jumping from the dock, visiting each other in their cabins. We all had our own space to go. The main cabin was wide open for all to join on the rainy days with many activities to do provided by the Resort. We brought our own boat and used the public access and docked the boat. The fishing was amazing! From crappies, sunnies, northern, huge Bass, and managed to catch walleye! Many laughs and memories were created this weekend!

Great place to stay!One suggestion would be better garbage facilities 25 people produce a lot of trash! Maybe a bigger dumpster would be nice!
