Kalahari Resorts & Conventions’ owners the Nelson family has announced the development of a new luxury resort experience in Wisconsin, US.

Located in the Wisconsin Dells area called Dawn Manor, the development represents an investment of more than $50m. 

It is currently in the initial construction stages and is expected to open in phases starting in late 2024.

Kalahari Resorts CEO, founder and owner Todd Nelson said: “Our family, along with our thousands of dedicated associates, have been bringing beyond-expectations experiences to millions of guests for decades.  

“We intend to continue that legacy with our new luxury treehouse resort by creating a truly unique experience for guests who want to escape from it all, surrounded by nature, while only being minutes away from all the amenities the Dells area has to offer.” 

The resort, named Kalahari Treehouse Collection at Dawn Manor, will offer 21 luxury treehouses and 31 ground-supported houses.  

The treehouses are being designed in partnership with Pete Nelson and his family, the former stars of Animal Planet’s “Treehouse Masters” for 11 seasons. Each unit will include screened-in porches and kitchenettes. 

The property will have a 10,000ft² Wisconsin supper club namely, Daylene’s Supper Club at Dawn Manor offering indoor and outdoor seating with views of Lake Delton.

It will also include a reconstructed beach area and 18 boat slips with access to both the beach and restaurant, along with refurbished gazebo and boathouse facilities.  

The existing Wisconsin Dells Ducks boat access will be retained for the visitors. 

Situated off County Road A on Lake Delton, the resort will offer guests complimentary access to Kalahari's indoor waterpark, located a few miles from the resort.  

The Nelson family's portfolio in the Wisconsin Dells area also includes Trapper’s Turn Golf Club and Lake Delton Waterfront Villas.  

Kalahari Resorts & Conventions operates three other resorts across the US and is planning to open a fifth location in Virginia in 2026. 

This comes after Kalahari Resorts and Conventions revealed the debut of Cinco Niños, a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar, at its Wisconsin Dells site in December 2023.
