Northwoods Shanties

Each reservation secures a private, heated shanty for up to 6-8 guests for a 90-minute time slot, plus two free*, pre-ordered beverage packages (serve up to 4 people each) for your group. *The Nitro Espresso Martini Tree is subject to an additional fee of $15 if chosen as part of your two complimentary beverage package selections. Please read each beverage package description carefully before booking.

Shanties can comfortably fit up to 6-8 people with bench-style seating. Please contact us at BuckatabonWinter@lowlandsgroup.com with any questions regarding group size.

We ask that your party arrives 5 minutes early to check-in prior to your reservation time. Please do not arrive any earlier, as there is not a waiting area. If your party shows up late for the reservation, we unfortunately cannot extend the length of your rental.

Guests of all ages are allowed in the shanties. Our restaurant policy is that only guests of, or over the age of 21 are able to consume alcoholic beverages.

Yes—pups are allowed in the shanties!

The shanties are equipped for the ever-changing seasons Wisconsin offers to allow for outdoor winter dining. These unique spaces are outfitted with infrared heating and fresh air recirculation. Please come dressed with a hat, gloves, and a few layers that you can adjust to your own individual comfort level. Heck, bring a snuggly blanket! If you need to adjust the temperature in your shanty, please let your server know.

Yes, you may add or delete any pre-ordered food or drink selections at any time before 24 hours of your reservation by emailing BuckatabonWinter@lowlandsgroup.com, making sure to include the booking confirmation number found in your original confirmation email.

Absolutely not—it is prohibited by Wisconsin law. Any guest found smoking or vaping will be asked to leave immediately along with their entire party, with no refund granted. Open flames of any kind are also not allowed on our patios or in the shanties.

The shanties are inspected and cleaned after every party, and though unlikely, a fee of up to $200 may be added should any evidence of damage be found after your visit. This includes damage to the interior, exterior, or decor.

You may play music in your shanties, but please keep the music at an appropriate volume so as not to disturb your shanty neighbors.

No outside food or beverage is allowed in the Northwoods Shanties and sneaking anything in makes your group subject to being asked to leave before your reservation end time.

Yes. In addition to the drink packages that you select when you book your reservation, you may also order additional items off food and beverage menu during the first 45 minutes of your visit.

As long as it is before 24 hours of your reservation and we have additional booking slots open, you may reschedule your reservation. You may modify your reservation by emailing BuckatabonWinter@lowlandsgroup.com, making sure to include the booking confirmation number found in your original confirmation email.

If you need to cancel your reservation, you will need to email BuckatabonWinter@lowlandsgroup.com. If your cancellation is at least 24 hours in advance, you will receive a full refund. Cancellations, refunds and reschedules will not be accommodated within 24-hours of your booking date.

As expected with outdoor winter dining in Wisconsin, in the case of extreme cold, blizzards, or dangerous icy conditions, we may need to cancel reservations to ensure safety and your comfort level. In these cases, you will be notified via email about an option to reschedule your booking or receive a complete refund. We will make every attempt to make the cancellations well in advance of your reserved time, but reserve the right to make fully-refunded cancellations in the case of emergent weather conditions at any time.

The online booking system requires a single credit card payment at the time of booking your reservation. When settling your final food and drink tab during your reservation, you can pay with a Lowlands Gift Card.

It sure does! The reservation payment may be applied towards Lowlands Rewards loyalty progress by uploading a picture of your booking receipt (sent via email) in the Lowlands Rewards app. Anything ordered and paid for during the reservation will apply to Lowlands Rewards loyalty as usual: if your card is linked it will automatically be applied to your loyalty progress, or you can take a picture of your receipt and upload it in the app.
