Lakefront Lodge Retreat on Beautiful Lake Bobidosh

Wake up to panoramic lake views, spend your days swimming at the sandy beach, fishing from the dock, cruising by pontoon, or relaxing in a hammock beneath towering Northwoods pines. At Thunderbird Lodge at Thunderbird Point, generations of families, friends, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts have gathered to reconnect, slowdown, and create lasting memories on the lake.

Many guests return year after year to continue family traditions started generations ago at Thunderbird Point.

This year-round retreat in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin offers elevated lake views, clear Northwoods waters, abundant wildlife, and authentic Northwoods hospitality that has welcomed guests for decades.

Originally established as a classic family summer resort in the 1940s, Thunderbird Point continues its tradition of welcoming guests seeking authentic lake experiences in every season — from summer beach vacations and fishing trips to fall colors, snowmobile weekends, family reunions, romantic escapes, and peaceful retreats surrounded by nature.

We respectfully acknowledge that Lake Bobidosh and the surrounding area are part of the ancestral and contemporary homelands of the Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) people and remain within the sovereign Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa reservation community. We are grateful to share this beautiful place and recognize its cultural, spiritual, and historical significance to the Ojibwe people, who have cared for these lands and waters for generations.

Enjoy Every Northwoods Season

Spend your days:

* Swimming and relaxing at the sandy beach
* Fishing from the dock or shoreline
* Cruising Lake Bobidosh by pontoon boat
* Kayaking and canoeing calm Northwoods waters
* Exploring nearby ATV and snowmobile trails

* Watching wildlife throughout the property

Relax in hammocks, chaise lounges, Adirondack chairs, and dockside seating areas while enjoying peaceful lake views, towering pines, hummingbirds at the feeders, and unforgettable sunsets over the water.

After a day outdoors, gather inside around the beautiful fireplace, relax in oversized recliners, and enjoy the warm vintage Northwoods décor and cozy lodge atmosphere that make Thunderbird Lodge feel welcoming in every season.

    From the moment we walked in the host was welcoming and hospitable. The environment was tranquil and beautiful. It was exactly what we hoped for in a relaxing family getaway. It did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this place and these hosts are amazing. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and to enjoy every part of our stay. If I could give them 100 stars, I would! Our friend and I are definitely coming back and we’re going to invite more family members as well.

    Mick, the host, was asking if there was anything he could get us to make our stay better. But there’s already boats and hammocks and campfires and a beautiful lake and a nice house with everything you need in a kitchen. I couldn’t find think of anything to ask for. It’s wonderful.

    Property was really nice. We rented a pontoon boat and took that out to fish and watch wildlife (baby loons!!). Fishing off the dock was fun.The water was perfect for swimming. The property had shared kayaks, canoes, row boat, etc which is perfect for the no wake lake.6 of us stayed in the lodge and it was more than comfortable. The lodge was well stocked with kitchen items and plenty of towels.The little dog run area off the front porch was great for our dogs! They didn’t have to be toted around the property.It is a shared property, so beach area and such are common areas.

    We stayed as a group of 7 teacher friends and we will be booking again for next summer! There isn’t any amenity that was overlooked by the hosts, Mick and Lollie. The beach area felt like a true vacation with lots of chairs, firepits, hammocks, glider swings, lounge chairs and kayaks/canoes/rowboats. The lake has a level sand entry, so swimming and floating was pleasant with no weeds. It’s evident the hosts put great thought into their lodge because the kitchen feels as well-equipped as home and towels, blankets, pillows were in abundance. The deck had plenty of patio table seating and extra chairs. Other than personal items and food, you don’t need to bring much! Mick and Lollie were exceptional hosts and we can’t wait to go back.

    Our stay was perfect! We were able to bring our retriever Henry, which was great. He was able to swim for his first time there off of the beach frontage. We rented one of the pontoon boats and fished. Everything you are looking for the do up north in one spot. Would recommend 10/10 times. Hosts were super responsive And had everything you could need to have a comfortable stay
