Canoe Bay in Rice Lake, WI is all about luxury. And romance. And more luxury. All with an impressive view toward environmental stewardship.

It’s a secluded retreat that promises to make you forget the stress of the world. You’re surrounded by forest and lakes, and you have the choice of a gorgeous room or a cabin all to yourself. Either way, you’ll have an audio/video system and a small refrigerator. The cabins also feature wet bars, coffee makers and microwaves. Or splurge on Edgewood, a 2,000 square foot lodge with a 1,500 square foot wraparound deck which boasts a larger-than-king size Emperor bed and a two-person shower and jacuzzi.

Dedicated to excellent food and wine, the restaurant features grass-fed and free-range meat free from antibiotics, growth hormones or added chemicals, sea food grown locally or certified wild and organic dairy products. They will do their utmost to accommodate any diet restrictions you mention to them when reserving your room.

They provide equipment for kayaking, canoeing and row boating. There’s a fitness center and massage therapy available. One of the more unusual activities, however, involves an extensive library of hardcover books and magazines so you can truly kick back and relax without lugging your own books through airports. You’re not far from skiing, golfing, horse-drawn sleigh rides and plenty of bicycle trails (but you’ll need to bring your own bike).

Canoe Bay caters to couples, and no children or pets are allowed.
