  • WHEELHOUSE RATES and INFORMATION  (2024/2025) season
  • SEASONAL  WHEELHOUSE – $325.00 for the winter season includes access fees, plus storage on shore in a secure area, during the winter season.  Your house must be removed and stored it in our storage lot after each use. Summer storage for 2025 will be $200.00.  ($525.00 year round). You must call ahead the week before you come up for the weekend so we can have an idea of the number of houses that will be out that weekend, and/or if you want a spot plowed for an extra charge.
    • WEEKEND WHEELHOUSES – To keep from overcrowding spots once the ice is good to go we start a list on Tuesday mornings and customers must call to reserve a place on that list. Seasonal customers get priority. We have received many compliments for doing this, and we will continue with it. Also, those that get on the list have the option of having an spot plowed, (if snow conditions warrant) for $25.00.
  • If you are coming for the weekend for example, (Fri-Sat-Sun) and register at the office we charge $80.00 up front when you arrive. Each CALENDAR day you are out of our access $20.00  will be charged towards your deposit. When you checkout Sunday at the office we refund the balance of what is not used back to you. (Example: You arrive Friday sometime and stay until Sunday sometime. You will be refunded $ 20.00). Doing it this way we know you are off the lake with your house and we also get a fishing report from you.  (good or bad…)
  •  WEEKLY WHEELHOUSE CUSTOMERS  –  Lets say you are going to fish with us for only 2 or three weeks and then go to a different lake or something like that.   Your cost with storage in our lot while is $80.00 per week.  (Includes daily access, storage in our protected lot when not in use).  Plowed spot if needed is extra.
  • We request wheelhouses going out of our access try to be on the ice before dark.  We will not let you out after dark UNLESS you are a seasonal storage customer here, (signed up, on file and paid up), and have been out on our roads already this season. Although we still encourage you get here before dark. The goal is to keep things quite out there for ALL of our customers.
  • As snow conditions dictate, sometime during the winter we will start plowing spots for wheelhouses to park. if and when that time comes there will be an additional  non-refundable charge added to the weekend wheelhouse rate. or if your seasonal, it will be added to your account.  If you do not want a plowed spot you will be required to have a set of chains for your truck to pull off the roads, and you will be on your own.
  • No trucks with plows pulling a wheelhouse will be allowed out thru our access. The few times we have tried it, they created problems for everyone else (including us).  Too many of them destroyed with their plowing, a good fishing spot in one weekend  and sometimes for the rest of the season. Sorry, but it’s not like pulling up anchor in the summer folks… and I’m not dealing with it.  Make a mess somewhere else if they let you.
