Guidebook for Manitowish Waters
Food Scene
When you step into Voss' Birchwood Lodge, time stands still. Built in the turn of the century (1908) Voss’ Birchwood Lodge is living history. Reminiscent of a bygone era, the Voss family continues to offer the same northwoods experience that attracted theater legends Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine to regularly stay there. The gourmet Chef Chris is a well kept secret. Try Ruthie's homemade pie for dessert. The restaurant's dining room overlooks a quiet bay of Spider Lake, one of 11 lakes on the Manitowish Waters chain of lakes. Breakfast & dinner are served. Luncheon and shops in the Chalet building, where you can walk through a well preserved 1930s era bar. Open June through September.

Just opened in June 2015. Right on the Heart of Vilas County Bike Trail, Dixie's has some of the best views in Manitowish Waters. With Vance Lake and the Manitowish River (downstream of the Rest Lake Dam) as the focal point, both the interior and exterior deck take advantage of the breathtaking landscape. The relaxing, comfortable inside invites you to sit with your drink and food while reading one of several newspapers they provide, working on your computer with their free Wi-Fi or chatting with friends. Or sit on the deck to enjoy the solitude and beauty of the Northwoods. You'll come for the coffee and stay for the view. Owned by Liz Uihlein, it is immaculately maintained and features Wisconsin's own New Roots coffee, Rishi tea, specialty baked goods, Panini made to order and a soup of the day.
