Homestead Lodge & Dinner

Homestead Lodge & Dinner at Ski Brule

Homestead Lodge At Ski Brule is a unique place to stop for lunchThe most unique stop you’ll find skiing is at Ski Brule’s mid mountain Homestead Lodge.  Delicious food and family fun!    The Homestead Lodge is the 1800’s Oberg Homestead and the original Homestead Act, signed by President McKinley, hangs on the wall. The lodge is decorated with vintage photographs and antiques that were once used to farm the land. The antique pot belly stoves are the only source of heat in the Homestead Lodge and are the perfect place to gather with friends and swap stories after a day on the Ski Brule Mountain.

The Homestead Lodge is open typically 9-3:45 Thursday through Sunday, 12/26-1/2, 1/16, 2/20, 3/20-3/22 with limited hours during early, late season and inclement weather.  Target opening date for Homestead Lodge (snowmaking permitting) is December 10.  

“We could not have had a more enjoyable experience.  The staff was second to none and the food was delicious at Homestead Lodge.  Everyone had an awesome time.  We have already made our plans to return next year!” ~ John, Winnetka, IL
