Looking for the best place to go out of for a wheel house.

[Agronomist_at_IA]

I bought my new wheel house a few weeks ago.

Before I had my wheel house I've come up with a group of guys every year since the 2006-2007 ice fishing season. Around the 19th of Dec. I've use JR's, Chad Bensen, Johnny P., & Ravelings Out Doors for outfitters and people to rent sleeper shacks from. (Chad Bensen the most) I've been to other resorts like West winds, Hilman's, & Rogers resort on my trips up there. 

Right now, I'm thinking that Rogers Resort will be one of the best ones to go out of with my wheel house. It looks like they have about everything you would need at the resort, and have some really nice facilities. Last year we had gone to JR's & left the wheel house (one my uncle bought) on shore to sleep in and took the flip over out to fish. Every time we needed anything they seemed to send us to Rogers......... Not overly impressed with JR's & feeling plenty of other places are better for service when spending money. 

 

So, I thought I would come here and ask the guys where the better services are, & facilities. A dumpster for human waste and trash would be a huge plus. I know Chad always had a trail on the ice to throw your trash in.  I don't care if someone is a little higher. I just want decent roads, decent facilities, and if we need something like beer, smokes, gas for the Ginny, propane, or stuff like that we can get it from the resort vs driving heck and gone.

If you want to stay away from the crowd I would suggest Beacon Harbor I think after jan 1st they don't allow day passes its only beacon harbor and outdoor authority who have houses there. Then they allow only a limited amount of yearly passes.

Now they don't have all the bells and whistles like a bar and food ect but John and Ann are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Not to mention I personally think it is some of the best.

 

Now if you needed a bar and food and all that my choices would be Rogers or Westwind

I've never actually been out of Rogers, but I stopped in at there facilities one night. Seemed Like a great place and the owners were there talking with customers and super friendly and nice. I'm guessing they'd almost go out of there way to help a guy.

SAW on Face Book Rodgers is putting in a new restaurant, and is also putting up a huge beer cooler. Really thinking this is the place to go now.
