Winter Activities

The holidays have come and gone, and the cold weather continues to descend upon us here in Chippewa Falls. We all know the winter months in the north woods can be brutally cold some years. While I don’t particularly enjoy spending a whole lot of time outdoors when it is cold, there are definite benefits of getting outdoors and getting some exercise. You always feel better after spending some time in the fresh air. Whether it’s just a 15-minute walk in your neighborhood or grabbing the snowshoes and going for a walk on the Chippewa River or through Lake Wissota State Park, you’ll never feel as if you have wasted your time – especially when you can return to the warm, cozy bed and breakfast.

All the latest from Inn on Lake Wissota

Winter at the Inn

Welcome, 2022! The Holidays are over, and we are now settling in to enjoy the peacefulness of winter here on Lake Wissota. The lake has frozen over, and a few brave souls have taken to the ice to try their hands at catching the wide variety of fish found in our lake. I’m still waiting to see if it turns into a scene from “Grumpy Old Men”! Regardless of whether you prefer ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, hiking, cross-country skiing, shopping, or just snuggling up next to the fireplace with a good book, we would love to welcome you as our guest at the Inn on Lake Wissota.

Key Lime Pie – Your New Favorite Summer Dessert

Nope, this isn’t a breakfast recipe, but it does embody the the Inn and what it stands for more than we’d like to admit. We believe dessert is best shared with friends (as long as you get plenty), and they should leave you with sweet sugary dreams once it’s gone. Prep this pie the day before and when everyone’s gathered you’ll look like Harry Houdini with surprise dessert!

This recipe comes from Sobo, a restaurant surrounded by beaches in Tofino, Canada. Feel free to close your eyes and picture yourself eating this on a beach in the sun. We promise, it’ll make it even better.

For those who have stayed with us at Inn on Lake Wissota, you know muffins are offered each morning to those who would like to start their day out with a little something sweet. Is there any better way to wake up than to the smell of fresh coffee brewing and muffins baking? The first Valentine’s Day we had the B&B I was in search for a special muffin recipe to commemorate this special occasion for our guests. I happened to find a recipe submitted by Picky Jessica on allrecipes.com for Valentine’s Day Strawberry Muffins. The fun thing about these muffins is you slice either end of the strawberries so they look like a heart. You know, sometimes it’s just the little things in life that warm my heart, and these muffins are one of those things! Anyway, this recipe is a keeper, so I thought I would share it with you.

For those who enjoy a dazzling display of Christmas lights, you will want to be sure to get to Chippewa Falls this season. The Christmas Village display is located in Irvine Park, on the north end of the downtown area. Established in 1987, the Christmas Village has become a tradition for the citizens of Chippewa Falls and surrounding areas. Preparation for the display begins in October and relies heavily on local volunteers to hang the lights and set up the various displays. There is an amazing display of life size scenes from Victorian times, with references to local historical businesses and other organizations. December 14, 2019 offers a great opportunity for folks to walk through the parks without any vehicles in the area from 5:00-6:30 pm. The display is open daily until 9:00pm, and on Christmas Eve, as a special treat, the display will be open until midnight!

Savory Turkey Breast

For years I had a monthly subscription to a Betty Crocker magazine. Usually it contained about 20 recipes, most representing the upcoming season. I found this recipe in that magazine and have loved it from the first time I ate it. What I like even more about this recipe is how easy it is to prepare ahead of time, then warm up in the oven prior to serving.
