About Us

Welcome to the Ten Mile Ranch! Nestled in the rolling hills of Coon Valley, Wisconsin, our ranch is more than just a place to stay—it's a story of tradition, hard work, and bringing people together.

A Family Dream Since 2002

It all began in 2002 when our family purchased this beautiful land with a vision of creating a place for connection and celebration. That year, we hauled up a one-car garage and set it on a concrete slab, just in time for our very first deer camp. The "Duct-Tape" name was born as we pieced things together using scraps and leftover materials from job sites. What started as a humble garage quickly became a labor of love.

Growing Through the Years

In 2003, we added an extension that brought much-needed space, including a kitchen and a bunk room. By 2008, the lodge expanded again, welcoming two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a party room—now serving as our living and game room.

The biggest transformation came in 2017 when we built the grand room. This versatile space is now the heart of the Duct-Tape Lodge, functioning as a bar, dining area, party room, living room, and even a dance floor. In 2024, we added the finishing touches, converting the upstairs bunkhouse into two bedrooms, remodeling the kitchen, and updating all the bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs. Today, the lodge is everything we dreamed of and more.

A Place for Tradition and Togetherness

The Duct-Tape Lodge has always been about more than just walls and roofs—it's a space where memories are made and traditions are kept alive. Whether you're here for a family reunion, a weekend getaway with friends, or a special celebration, we hope the lodge feels like home to you, just as it does to us.

We would love to host you. Come and experience the charm of the Duct-Tape Lodge for yourself!
