Chanticleer Inn

What Chanticleer Inn does

Chanticleer Inn is a privately held, single-property lodging and hospitality business operating since 1922 at 1458 East Dollar Lake Road in Eagle River, Wisconsin. The property sits on the Eagle Chain of 28 Lakes and offers two accommodation formats — a private villa and motel rooms — alongside on-site food and beverage (a bar opening at 9am weekdays, a beer garden operating 11:30am–4pm, and a dining room serving 4:30–8:30pm) and ancillary recreational amenities including a Tesla charging station and direct access to snowmobile and ATV trails. The company positions itself as a year-round destination for vacations, family reunions, corporate meetings, and conferences.

The underlying technology is a Lodgify-powered direct booking website (chanticleerinn.com) that supports availability search, guest-count selection, and inquiry submissions, supplemented by phone (715-479-4486), email ([email protected]), and an after-hours line. On-site pontoon boat and jet ski rentals are provided through Bubba's Boat Rental, a third-party operator running from the property. The property also hosts the USA Hockey Pond Hockey Tournament and Ice Driving USA events on Dollar Lake, which generate recurring seasonal event-driven demand.

Chanticleer Inn generates revenue through three streams: lodging accommodations (private villa and motel rentals, quote-based), food and beverage (bar, beer garden, dining room transactions), and recreational rentals facilitated via the Bubba's Boat Rental partnership. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; rates are quote-based through the booking inquiry form. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer, relying on the website, organic search, and inbound phone/email inquiries, with the property open seven days a week and serving walk-in guests at its on-site bar, beer garden, and dining room.
