Timber Lodge is a 4.8-rated lodge located on the serene Gordon Lake in Glidden, Wisconsin. The property offers cozy cabins with lake access and facilities designed for families, including paddle boats, kayaks, and life jackets available at no additional cost. Visitors consistently mention the peaceful setting, beautiful sunsets, and spacious outdoor areas where both adults and children can enjoy swimming, boating, and campfires.
The lodge is well-suited for family stays, especially those seeking a quiet retreat with kid-friendly amenities. Guests praise the thoughtful touches such as full kitchens, grills, firewood provided, and recreational options like paddleboats and canoes. Though the lodge once featured an on-site restaurant, it no longer offers dining facilities, with small restaurants and stores available a short drive away in the town of Glidden.
Its location is convenient for visitors interested in exploring nearby natural attractions like Copper Falls State Park and several waterfalls within an hour’s drive, as well as Gordon Lake itself, which receives high recommendations. The lodge’s proximity to the Gogebic - Iron County Airport (about an hour by car) makes it accessible, and nearby accommodations include the Northern Lure Resort & Campground and Chippewa Inn.
Guest feedback highlights the friendly and accommodating hosts and the lodge’s suitability for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike. While the property excels in providing a quiet setting and recreational equipment, the score reflecting its convenience for sightseeing and recreation suggests some guests may find it more of a base for relaxation than a hub for extensive activities.

My version of camping is room service at the Marriott, so couldn’t give 5 stars, but.....It was well worth the sacrifice.
We went here when my children were young. They are now 33, 42 and 25. We have so many good memories here. I don't know if they still have the little bar restaurant but locals bands use to play here. My daughter just yesterday said " Mom can we go to timber lodge next year" She said remember Wilderness Walk in Cable, Wisconsin and the Mercantile in Glidden that had the brain freeze icecream cone that was huge. We visited family in Ashland Wisconsin. I am going to call Timber Lodge today and see if we could book a cabin for July 2019. Can't wait for next year. Very family friendly. Sincerely, Mary Royce
Super friendly owners, beautiful views, kayaks and Life vests, free WiFi, great views, paddle boats and fishing boats available.
There were 11 of us, renting 3 cabins. All 3 were very nice, cozy and had everything we needed. The location of this lodge was perfect for our UTV trip, close to the trails, restaurants & stores. The lodge itself had just about everything available for our use, such as wood for the fire pit, toys, a paddleboat, canoe, etc. We will be back next summer. Nicole could not have been more accommodating.
Nice little cabins on a beautiful lake, amazing sunsets and located in the heart of the north woods. Had a great experience here and will definitely return! Less than an hour drive from 6+ waterfalls and the Upper Peninsula!
Gorgeous location and amazing hosts! Tony and his wife were so thoughtful, made for an amazing family vacation. The kids had tons of fun swimming in the lake , playing on the beach and going out in the paddle boat. Not far from Copper Falls state park so we had some great hikes too!
Beautiful setting on Gordon Lake, quiet and peaceful. Great place to unplug and have quality family time. The kids loved swimming and boating. They played in the woods and we explored the nearby national forest. Five minutes away is the little town of Glidden with some small restaurants and convenience stores that carry groceries and necessities in case you forgot anything. Paddleboats and kayaks are free for guests. Life jackets are available. Under new ownership since 2015, the cabins and grounds are receiving updates and improvements. There is no longer a restaurant or bar on site.
We stayed in the bear cabin (#2) and had such a lovely experience! Two adults and two kids. The hosts, Tony and Nicole were welcoming and excellent hosts. Beautiful lake with kayaks, paddle boats, and every size of life jacket to use. Lovely swimming with a floating dock to swim out to. Campfire and wood provided! Grill as well as a full kitchen with dishes and utensils. Every detail was thought of including clothes livns for wet swim suits and towels, a night light in the bathroom, cribbage board and magazines inside, and bug spray if needed. (although the mosquitoes weren't bad) Close to Copper Falls and Big Bay State parks to! We absolutely plan to return and highly recommend!
