A Timeless Lakeside Escape: The Donna King Suite

Discover a sanctuary of light and serenity at Bootleggers Lodge. Located on the exclusive second floor above our historic restaurant, the Donna King Suite is a masterclass in classic elegance. Designed for the traveler seeking a peaceful retreat, this suite features traditional white paneling, vaulted wooden ceilings, and a stunning brass-accented cream linen King bed.

The aesthetic is anchored by a beautiful Italian credenza and curated vintage decor that pays homage to our 1920s heritage while offering a clean, contemporary feel. Your experience is defined by high-end comforts, including an elegant marble bathroom, plush oversized towels, and premium botanical Apotheke toiletries. Modern essentials are seamlessly integrated, from a Samsung Frame TV and high-speed Wi-Fi to secure keyless entry and a private Nespresso coffee bar.

The Bootleggers Lodge Experience
After ascending the grand staircase, guests are greeted by the warmth of distressed barnwood flooring, hand-hewn timbers, and crystal chandeliers that lead the way to your private haven. As a guest of Bootleggers Lodge, you have premier access to the public beachfront on Lake Nokomis and our 2026 Wine Spectator Award-winning dining experience just downstairs.

Whether you’re waking up to the calm of the lake or finishing your evening with a world-class cocktail at our 1833 Brunswick bar, the Donna Suite offers the quintessential American Northwoods experience with the sophisticated service of a luxury boutique hotel.
