Our Lodge Restaurant was built in 1906.  Over the years the building was used for various things, but mostly as a place to serve wonderful food to the guests.  The Bent Family prided themselves on this and served home-grown vegetables right from their own gardens.  Now we pride ourselves on preserving this tradition of serving the best food we possibly can in this grand old building.

 

 

 

 

We offer a full menu from homemade pizza, hamburgers and sandwiches to the finest steaks, roasted duck and nightly specials.  Fridays we serve our "famous" fish fry along with the best pizzas in the northwoods

The Lodge Restaurant at Bent’s Camp Resort

Bent’s Camp was established in 1896 for sport fishing and hunting.  Charles Bent loved the northwoods and did all he could in his lifetime to protect and improve it for others.  Bent’s Camp has been a recognized Mecca for fishermen since 1896 and it’s still being discovered by sportsmen (and women) every year.  What a privilege for us to live here or to stay for a while and enjoy one of the largest inland chain of lakes.  Here we can relax in the historical grace and beauty of the Cisco Chain!

“Attractions of the beautiful northwoods are to be found at Bent’s Camp.  Woods and water,  glorious sunshine and deep shadow give rest to those seeking relief, brings health to the worn out, and affords a region of delight to the outer and nature lover”  Charles A. Bent

Our Lodge Restaurant was built in 1906.  Over the years the building was used for various things, but mostly as a place to serve wonderful food to the guests.  The Bent family prided themselves on this and served homegrown vegetables right from their own gardens.  Now we pride ourselves on preserving this tradition of serving the best food we possibly can in this grand old building.  The birch bark and cedar strip walls and ceilings are original and provide a true northwoods atmosphere.

In 1990, Lisa’s parents, Ray and Carol Peterson purchased Bent’s Camp.  In the 13 years they ran the resort, they did much to restore and preserve the original uniqueness.   Through hard work and vision, they made Bent’s Camp and the Lodge Restaurant what it is today…a wonderful place to visit and a great place to come back to year after year.  It is our privilege to be able to continue on with what they worked so hard to accomplish, as it is our great privilege to be your hosts in this beautiful place!
