Description: REAL PHOTO - Land O'Lakes, WISCONSIN - Kings Gateway Hotel - ROADSIDE AMERICA: Land o' Lakes is a town in Vilas County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 861 at the 2010 census. The unincorporated community of Land o' Lakes is located in the town. Built in 1938, Gateway Lodge is a historic landmark located in Land O' Lakes "at the top of Wisconsin on U.S. 45 where Wisconsin and Michigan meet." Gateway Lodge was originally called King's Gateway Hotel and was part of a extensive resort complex built by Detroit radio and theater magnate John H. King. In its heyday, King's Gateway resort was a premier Northwoods destination, drawing huge numbers of people to the Land O' Lakes area for recreation and relaxation. This "Show Place of the North" also attracted famous Hollywood entertainers and dignitaries from all over the country, most notable being U. S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The lobby of Gateway Lodge still showcases the original floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace with 3 large metal black bears affixed above the mantel. The striking beams of rough-hewn timbers and the Douglas Fir floors are also original construction and seen throughout the Lodge, including the restaurant and cocktail lounge. An inner hallway displays numerous fascinating historic photos of the Gateway and some of its famous guests. The lobby features wildlife mounts, plus two trophy bears, an Alaskan Brown Bear and a Polar Bear which were donated to the Land O' Lakes Historical Society by renowned local physician Dr. Everett Eickhoff. Today Gateway Lodge is governed by a Master Condominium Association through a Board of Directors elected from its membership. A guest rental program offers individual owners the choice to participate in the hotel business. The quaint historic bar and elegant restaurant offer fine dining for the public, as well as condominium owners and guests. Visitors are invited to "Come Back to Tradition"…to experience the nostalgia and rustic beauty of a classic Northwoods lodge. This Real Photo postcard is in good condition. Kodak No. 180.
