Northwoods dining has its own rhythm — supper clubs with a relish tray and a brandy old-fashioned, Friday fish fries, and easygoing bar & grills near the water. This is the list our hosts Ethan & Molly keep for guests.
The spots marked ★ Favorite are their personal go-tos. Distances are approximate driving time from the cabins; hours and seasons shift up north, so it's always worth a quick call ahead.
