This historic resort was designed and built in the 1920's as a retreat for gangster Joe Saltis, (pictured right) a Joliet saloon keeper and bootlegger, referred to as "Polack Joe." Saltis spent an estimated $100,000 into building this rustic two-story cedar log lodge, cabins and nine-hole golf course.

In 1930 "Polack Joe" retired to this retreat on the Barker Lake shoreline and the colorful stories about him and his guests still circulate around the Winter, Wisconsin area.
