Why Timmer’s Resort

A Tradition Worth Celebrating

For generations, Timmer’s Resort has been a familiar place along the shores of Big Cedar Lake, a destination for celebrations, gatherings, and time spent together.

Since 1864, guests have come here to mark milestones, share meals, and return year after year to something that feels warm, welcoming, and familiar. That spirit of hospitality has always been part of what makes Timmer’s Resort special.

Today, we honor that tradition while thoughtfully moving forward. Every experience at Timmer’s is shaped by genuine hospitality, care for our guests, and an appreciation for the moments people share around the table.

While times change, some things shouldn’t. Good food, warm welcomes, and the feeling that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Established 1864

Welcoming guests to Big Cedar Lake since the 1800s, with a tradition of hospitality that continues today.
