I remembered the name a couple days ago....it was called Island View at one point, run John and Judy. Great place - she used to feed the deer every day.
Per Facebook - still called Island View Lodge and run by the same people, as recently as summer 2018. Good memories.
Could be Hideaway Bay changed hands and is now Fisher Lake Lodge?

I remember Island View on Fisher Lake! We used to go there at least once a winter. It was a very nice ride to get there, minus a mile or two of a cross-over trail in a swampy area (that trail is still there - I thinks its part of Iron County Trail 19). The owners told us that they were closing for the winter from that year on, which - I think - was about 2012 or so. They planned to be open for the summers, though. It was a shame - they had a very nice place.

You can avoid that swampy area by taking trail 10 (from 17), to 19B instead of cutting through the swamp from trail 19.
I used to HATE that section and would avoid it at all costs, but when I was going to Winchester or Presque Isle it was the shortest route. (from Fisher Lake)
