FOR YOUR MOST TREASURED MOMENTS
Treat your guests, clients, or team to an exclusive experience at Chippewa Retreat Resort — your Northern Wisconsin destination for private dinners, milestone celebrations, and focused corporate retreats.
The Northwoods Setting Your Event Deserves
Chippewa Retreat Resort offers private event spaces for groups of 10 to 150+, with in-house catering from White Oak Grill, a 1933 Art Deco bar, lakeside access, and a team that handles the details.
Our Red Pine Room accommodates more intimate gatherings while renting our Bar, Lounge, and White Oak Hall provides ample space for over 150 guests.
In the summer, you can enjoy the 10,000 sq. ft. outdoor Swim Club with heated pool and sun deck, double fireplace cabana and poolside bar.
We'd love to host you for…
Birthday & Milestone Celebrations
Dinner for 20 in a private dining room, or a full buyout for a landmark birthday. We've hosted elegant sit-downs and lively all-night parties — both feel completely at home here. Our team handles setup, catering, and flow so you can actually be present for the moment.
Corporate Retreats & Celebrations
Dedicated meeting spaces with full AV, projection, and high-speed fiber internet. In-house catering from White Oak Grill — breakfast through dinner, all on-site. Limited lodging available; we partner with nearby hotels for larger groups.
When the meeting wraps, Manitowish Waters delivers: boat outings on the lake, kayaking, hiking trails, fishing, snowshoeing and ski trails in winter. Your team leaves re-energized, not just relocated.
Holiday & Seasonal Parties
Wood-burning fireplaces, warm timber interiors, the 1933 Art Deco bar fully stocked, and a team that knows how to throw a party. The White Oak Lodge was made for a December celebration — and we book up early. If you're thinking holiday, reach out now.
Community Events
Fundraising galas, educational seminars, workshops, and community gatherings deserve a setting that takes them seriously. Chippewa Retreat offers a warm, professional environment that makes any event feel like an occasion — with in-house catering, AV capabilities, and a team that helps everything run smoothly so you can focus on your mission and your guests.
Family Reunions
Madison Dahlquist Group dining, lawn games, boat rides, pool dips, and room to spread out across multiple spaces. We even have a few accommodations available on-site. Chippewa Retreat has everything your family needs in one place — including a team that can coordinate activities so you're not the one managing logistics all weekend.
Madison Dahlquist In-House Catering
For groups up to 80, our in-house culinary team handles everything — cocktail-hour appetizers to a full dinner service. Northwoods classics, elevated. Have something specific in mind? Our chef is glad to talk it through.
