Drill Divas Ice Fishing Package is an Adventurous Girlfriend Getaway Experience at Heidel House Resort & Spa

Women are invited to learn to ice fish, guided by area expert Mike Norton, and then enjoy a warm and relaxing experience at Evensong Spa.

GREEN LAKE, Wis. – Jan. 15, 2015 – January is the perfect time to plan a “Girlfriends Getaway” weekend after a busy holiday season comes to an end.  Women looking to be adventurous and learn a new winter recreation activity will be excited for Heidel House Resort & Spa’s first ever Drill Divas Ice Fishing Package. You don’t have to be an expert ice angler to enjoy ice fishing – the Drill Divas Ice Fishing Package provides the equipment and the knowledge for a fun ice fishing experience followed by relaxation in the resort’s award-winning Evensong Spa.  Drill Divas is perfect for beginners who have never experienced ice fishing or for those looking for a fun adventure to try with girlfriends this winter.

“We wanted to create a unique winter experience for women combining adventure and relaxation.  Our ice fishing package offers a way to enjoy the outdoors, catch up with friends and unwind. We encourage women looking for an out-of-the-ordinary getaway to grab their girlfriends and experience ice fishing at its best on Big Green Lake this winter,” said Scott Krause, Heidel House general manager.

Adventurous girlfriends can enjoy a day on Big Green Lake.

To ensure a comfortable experience, participants will be prepped on proper ice fishing attire and will be taken to a heated ice fishing shanty.  The adventure will begin with a hot, hearty breakfast in the resort’s Sunroom restaurant. They will then be shuttled to a top fishing location on Big Green Lake, Wisconsin’s deepest inland lake, met by the area’s most popular fishing-guide service – Mike Norton’s Fishing and Hunting.

Norton’s will provide all the fishing equipment the ladies need for a successful day on the ice. This includes a heated fishing shanty, tackle and bait. Each Drill Diva will also receive two water bottles, a thermos of Apple Spiced Bourbon toddies or mulled wine, hand warmers and a freshly-prepared box lunch.  At the end of the fishing trip, Mike Norton’s Fishing and Hunting team will clean and package the fresh catch to take home.

Mike Norton’s experts are there every step of the ice fishing journey.

After returning from the lake, the group will make their way to Evensong Spa, where they will shed snowsuits and slip into luxurious robes. Guests can choose to enjoy the spa’s waterfall whirlpool, eucalyptus steam room and fireplace-warmed relaxation room, and then be treated to a 50-minute Labyrinth Heated Stone Massage.  During this massage, smooth heated stones are combined with soothing massage techniques to promote grounding, balancing and a deep sense of relaxation. The heat from the stones relaxes muscles and increases blood flow to target zones and enhance the healing process.

Heidel House Resort will send everyone home with their clean and packaged catch, as well as a commemorative photo of the group’s day on the ice.
