A Wisconsin Island Paradise Like No Other
The Stout's Island Club is being established to give families the opportunity to share this magnificent & historic island lodge estate for generations to come.
Introducing the Stout's Island Club
The Stout’s Island Club will ensure the island continues to operate and improve, transforming it into the world-class property it truly deserves.
Island Lodges hold a special place in our imaginations, they feel and are a world apart.
The best of them offers both the quiet and privacy to dream, and the endless options for both adults & children to explore and discover the natural world plus enjoy endless recreational options on the club’s five islands and surrounding lakes.
Conde Nast Traveler Magazine asked in an article, “What is it about our memories of summers spent by the lake that has such a hold on us?”
The article featured a few memorable retreats, describing Stout’s Island Lodge as “the platonic ideal of an American lakefront inn.”
Own a Piece of the Island
Don't miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a cabin, condominium, or piece of land at Stout's Island Lodge. Experience this world-class Adirondack-style great lodge year-round with your family and friends.
“This place is amazing! A true slice of heaven. Historical and so charming. The views of the lake and flower gardens are incredible. It's what new lodge resorts try to copy, but come up short.”
“When you embark on the ferry, you are transported back in time, back to a time to savor a cocktail by a real wood fire, to swim in clear lake waters, to spend time contemplating the stars and the universe. Stout's will do all they can to make your stay comfortable, even luxurious, but it's up to you to slow down and take it all in.”
“Stout island was just what our busy lives needed. A peaceful and relaxing getaway in a beautiful part of the state at the best time of year. Fall colors were at their most colorful, and there was nothing better than sipping wine on your own private patio overlooking the water. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our visit was enjoyable.”
“Words hardly describe the experience you will have at Stout's Island Lodge, from the service to the food, to the fantastic view and stunning amounts of relaxation. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer, which is all the more reason to keep coming back.”

“We don’t inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children”
– Native American Proverb
The Club has an even higher “yes” – to give our members an opportunity to give back to the community and contribute to the global responses to the environmental catastrophe the world faces.
Members of the Stout’s Island Club will manage an affiliated non-profit 501c3 corporation to help with various local and regional environmental challenges. Contributions from individual club members will be solely at their discretion, but participation is encouraged.
Work on the Island
The Club will offer dedicated quiet areas, along with a world-class boardroom and conference facilities, to satisfy the members’ need for a place for projects and, of course, to get some serious work done.

Common Questions
There are very few places like Stout’s Island Lodge left in the United States, with the few remaining ones succumbing to overdevelopment in order to generate the income & capital necessary to preserve them or being privatized for use as family compounds. The Stout’s Island Club is the answer for this magnificent island retreat to maintain its soul, and to continue to operate fully improved in facility and services, becoming the world class property it deserves.
Yes – two options. The first is, subject to personal use requirements: rooms, suites, and/or current or to be constructed homes are available for sale. In addition, members may want to consider buying a shore property on Red Cedar Lake or the connected Balsam & Hemlock Lakes and – if approved by club management – include them in the club rental pool, and qualify for Associate Membership.

The current plan is for the Club to have a maximum of 325 Family Memberships with lodging, and Associate Memberships that will not include lodging (for property owners/renters on the adjacent lakes). In the event Club ownership/management elects to expand the Club properties it may also expand membership somewhat to keep member's annual costs reasonable.
A detailed application is required, along with reference letters. The process will include a personal interview and an extensive background check. The least important characteristic of a prospective member is the ability to pay - character matters more.
Yes. Guests must be accompanied by a member. In low season, members may send their guests unaccompanied for a maximum of two three-day visits per season based on availability. Real estate owners may have guests whenever they choose.
Submit a membership application. If accepted, we will request your initiation fee, and your fee will be held in an escrow account until enough memberships have been sold to establish the Club, and it can begin improvements & new construction. Currently that is estimated to be 10 non-real estate owning memberships sold.
Only owners of real estate may have pets on Island, subject to the rules and regulations of the Homeowner's Association. Service animals are allowed.
Yes, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
