    i cant say i have stayed anywhere else up there, but i have stayed at vermilion dam lodge 3 times and have no reason to stay anywhere else. it is a beautiful place, cabins are awesome, especially the one that holds 14 people! the owner is truely nice and will always help you out with anything! i ahave stayed there with 27 roudy druck guys and other times with my mom and dad, and each time we were taken well care of, so no matter what your group is like, it will be good. i dont know if he still has the bar and restuarant open, you would have to call, but if not, there is on within walking distance of the resort. i have great things to say about that place!! also, the owner is a big muski guy, so if your lookin for the big ones, he is a great source. i and everyone i have stayed there with give it an a+++.

    I’ve really enjoyed Life O Riley as it’s on a remote West end bay, Norwegan Bay. Good panfishing, walleye, bass, and Muskie within a mile of the resort

    Thanks guys!

    JBB, can you tell me about the restuarant/bar/hospitality and anything else you might think note worthy?

    Fish…have you stayed at either? I’m looking for first hand knowledge of a resort up there. Thanks for taking the time to search for me though!

    just got back from VDL over labor day. the place is great, but…it’s the furthest resort to get to on the lake as it’s on the north end and at the end of the gravel road up there by the river. if you want to fish the west side or some of the east, it’s great spot. if you want to fish the big lake at all, it’s a run over there and back.
    good people, fair pricing.

    Brian,
    My club has been at Muskego Point resort on the north shore of the cook side of the lake.
    NO restaurant, but great people, and very quiet place. each cabin has full kitchens. and you can only boat to the resort. there are two very big new cabins that each sleep about 12.
    My club has been there in Sep for the last 11 years, and am going up in the morning for our Fall tourney this weekend.
    Jack..

    VDL has a bar, but I dont know how much traffic it gets. Bayview probably has the best bar/resort combination on the lake. The cabins are decent, but the owners focus on the bar/restaurant. Bayview isnt reliable for bait, but it is only 5 minutes from the Y store, which has everything.

    Plus, you are close to the Vermilion Club, which is a great place for a cocktail or 20.

    When are you going? Need free guide?

    When is the best time to go? I might…but I would have to clean out my tackle box of lead first.
