The Bunkhouse At Indian Trail

Indian Trail Resort is one of the few resorts that still offer private room accommodations in what we call our “Bunkhouse.”  A rustic, northwoods lakeside motel for men, the Bunkhouse offers seven single rooms, two double rooms, a common bathroom at the end of the hall, and a front sitting room where guests can either relax and read a fishing magazine or visit with his fellow anglers.  For our guests’ convenience, the Bunkhouse also has a spacious private shower, a microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and a full size refrigerator with a large freezer, however, bring your own towels and coffee mug.

As far as cooking your meals goes: in a nice spot overlooking the lake, we have two picnic tables and two barbeque grills reserved for the exclusive use of our Bunkhouse patrons.  So feel free to bring your own frozen steaks, brats, burgers, or chicken to create your own lakeside feast!  In addition to that, there are several restaurants that have great food and reasonable prices that are located within five to ten minutes of the resort.


Our newly remodeled Loft with two twin beds.

One of the most unique lodging accommodations on the Chippewa Flowage, our Bunkhouse has housed countless angling enthusiasts over the past fifty years, including such notables as football Hall of Famer Larry Csonka, three time winter Olympian Todd Boonstra, and blues legend Pat Hayes of the Lamont Cranston Band. 

If the walls in the Bunkhouse could talk, they would echo the hundreds of exciting angling tales that have been told and retold within its confines.  In fact these walls do talk… for each room in the Bunkhouse is dedicated to a different musky angler of yesteryear, complete with photos and a biography of each musky man.  (Read about them all on our website in the section on “The Trail Musky Men”.)

The Bunkhouse is the perfect place for a father and son to start a family fishing tradition and make memories that will last a lifetime.  Besides anglers, we welcome canoeists, kayakers, photographers, bird watchers, star gazers, and anyone else who just plain enjoys the outdoors. 

While these rooms are primarily meant for men lodgers, with advance notice the entire Bunkhouse can be rented to mixed lodgers (men and women) that are all in one group.  This could include a large family looking to all be under one roof, any group of men & women in the same party, or any group of women anglers or outdoor enthusiasts who want to enjoy the wonders of the Chippewa Flowage.

In our Bunkhouse, be sure to ask about the availability of our newly remodeled Loft, a spacious, double room that is located - all by itself - on the second floor of the Bunkhouse.  Providing guests with a fine overlook of the waters of the Chippewa Flowage, the Loft has two twin beds, a comfortable couch, a table and chairs to play cards on, dressers, a small refrigerator, microwave, and a coffee maker.  Upon special request, a third bed can be set up in the Loft so, counting the couch, this room can sleep up to four people.  The Loft is also available to couples who would like an inexpensive but comfortable get-a-way on a nightly basis.  For women lodgers in the Loft, private bathroom/shower facilities are located in a nearby building.  Rates for the Loft are only $42/night/person.


On special request for couples, we can set up a comfortable, king sized bed in the Loft."

All other rooms are only $37/night per person, and with a week’s stay for all lodgers in the bunkhouse, we offer either a free 14’ boat or $50 off on one of our larger boat/motor packages.  Clean, comfortable, simple, and reasonably priced, the rooms at Indian Trail’s Bunkhouse provide anglers and visitors alike with a quick, affordable get-a-way that they surely will not forget.

Whether you are only up for a day, the weekend, or have a week or two to spend, Indian Trail Resort is pleased to welcome you as our guest.
