Big news for the Shell Lake Lodge family! 📣 We are so excited to share that we’re officially stepping into a new chapter at the Burch Barn.

The Burch family has done such an incredible job building this space into a local treasure over the years. We’ve always admired how they ran the barn and the pumpkin patch with so much heart and dedication, and we are truly honored to carry on the legacy they’ve created here.

We can’t wait to keep these traditions alive and continue welcoming you all for weddings, events, and all the fall family fun you love! Check out the full announcement below. 🌾✨

New faces at Burch Barn... but we’re not new to the neighborhood! 🌾✨

We have some heart-filled shoes to fill as we officially step into ownership of the Barn. We want to take a moment to honor the Burch family: they have done an absolutely incredible job building this place into the local treasure it is today. We are so honored to carry on their beautiful legacy.

NewBeginnings

We’ve officially taken over, and we couldn’t be more excited to start this new chapter with you. As local owners who have built long-standing businesses right here in the area, we know just how much this property means to our community.

First things first: the pumpkin patch is definitely staying! 🎃 Don’t worry, fall traditions are safe with us, and we can’t wait to see your families back in the fields this season.

While we’ll always love a beautiful barn wedding, we’re expanding from just a wedding venue to a full event center for all of life’s big moments. From corporate gatherings to community celebrations, we’re ready to host it all.

We’re so honored to be part of your story and can’t wait to welcome you back to the barn. See you soon! ~The Dillon Clan ( Nick, Becky, Ronan and Icy)🥂

Bundle up, Shell Lake! Winterfest is officially here this weekend, and we couldn't be more excited for one of our favorite community events.

The highlight for the kiddos? The Free Kids Fish Contest! 🎣 There’s nothing like seeing those proud smiles when they land a catch through the ice. It's such a great way to get the family outside and making memories together on the lake.

Once the lines are pulled up and the toes start getting a bit chilly, come on over and see us at the Lodge! We’re the perfect home base to warm up, dry out the mittens, and maybe even take a dip in the pool or relax in the sauna to truly thaw out.

Whether you’re a local neighbor or visiting from out of town for the festivities, we’ve got a cozy spot waiting for you. Being locally owned and operated means we love these community weekends just as much as you do!
