The Hoiby's offer couple or romantic getaways, girls or guys get together, corporate meetings, family gatherings, or special occasions. 

 

Janice and Jim opened the Lake Ripley Lodge in the summer of 2004 after finding "the prettiest spot on Lake Ripley".  Janice, who spent her life in Cambridge, was excited to be back at Lake Ripley again after living and raising their family in Arizona.   

 

As Cambridge natives and former teachers, Janice and Jim are happy to share historical information of the previous resort as Maple Villa, and the Cambridge area including Lake Ripley natives Ole Evinrude and Harley Davidson.  

 

They enjoy fishing, kayaking, golf, innkeeping, local history, and travel.
