Wilderness Bay Lodge

Been going to snowbank for 25 years, younger brother over 40. Wilderness Bay lodge is our hangout. Nice and quiet and Sue and Jay and family are the Best Host.

A huge Thank You to Wilderness Bay Lodge! My nephew and I were stuck at the nearby portage on a windy day. We had planned to just wait it out but conditions continued to get worse. We walked over to the lodge and asked for help. They graciously offered to haul us across the lake after they finished doing some chores. I'm incredibly grateful for their generosity! I will definitely be booking a future stay at this beautiful lodge.

We were stuck at the nearby portage during a windstorm and asked if we could wait the storm out or potentially get a tow or load our canoes on the pontoon that someone there owned and pay for a ride across the lake. They didn't kick us out but were certainly not welcoming. Everyone said they had no idea who owned the pontoon, which ended up being a lie since one of the folks driving it later was someone we had talked to. An hour or two later my companions went overboard in the lake as we were crossing it and a member of the lodge saw and came and towed them to safety; thank you to that man and his two grandkids :). A short while later I saw the pontoon leave the lodge area and go right by us while we continued over the lake and offered no help. I rushed to catch them before they left t

Husbands family has been going here and renting out 1/2 the place for approx 10 years. I was stuck over at their private landing where they are supposed to provide pick up and drop off to get to resort. I called to get picked up after running into town. I called for 2.5 hrs left 4 messages and no one would answer. Their pontoon with the key was at the landing. After 2.5 hrs of no one coming to get me or answering I took the pontoon over to the resort. I told Jay exactly why I took it. He and his mother just wrote us a letter stating they have no idea why I would take pontoon and it was wrong what I did?? I was stuck at their landing. They have a direct phone to resort and a sign that says if no one answers, call back in a few minutes. I called for over 2.5hrs!!! This place use to be great!

Stayed for a week in late August of 2023. Nice place,quite, friendly people working there. Jay and the family are tops.The cabins are rustic which makes it a charming place to stay. There is a reason why they are booked up.👍
