Creating Family Traditions at Ludlow’s
Ludlow's Island Resort
From the moment Joseph Burr Ludlow and his son Hod built the first cabin on the island in 1933, to when Hod’s son Mark took over the resort with his wife Sally and raised their four children on the island, family has always been at the heart of what makes Ludlow’s Island Resort truly special.
Ludlow’s Island Resort has long been a retreat for families to come and enjoy a fun and relaxing vacation, experiencing the same magic the Ludlow family fell in love with over a century ago.
Ludlow’s has been the backdrop for countless shared adventures, unforgettable memories, first moments, and it is where generations come together.

An island resort tucked away in the Northwoods on Lake Vermilion, Ludlow’s offers a truly unique experience for families.

Family Activities
With countless activities, the resort provides endless opportunities to connect and create those lasting memories.
For so many, Ludlow’s is where they learned to swim, where they reeled in their first-ever catch off the dock, or where they spent their first weekend away together as a couple.
Ludlow’s offers everything from scenic nature walks and boating to fishing, bonfires, and pickleball.
Generations can come together and discover (or even rediscover!) their favorite ways to spend time with each other.
It’s these shared experiences and special moments that become lasting traditions, making your time on the island something you’ll always treasure.
Comfortable Cabins to Accommodate the Whole Family

Cabins like Coffeetime, Stardust, Twilight, and Northstar cabins are all great for multi-generational families, with space for 10 guests and up to five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Northstar
