Ice fishermen seeking food and shelter, or even a cold beer and large flat-screen television, on Lake of the Woods’ Zippel Bay have a grand place to go—The Igloo.
The 38 x 20-foot structure resembles an elongated white dome, so the name came naturally. But the heated, electrified and insulated Igloo is much more than a novelty, according to Zippel Bay Resort owners Nick and Deanna Painovich. “We’ve talked about doing something like this for several years,” says Nick, “as a way to provide additional service to our guests on the ice.”
The Igloo is open from noon to 10 p.m. six days a week.
