A Warm Wawa Welcome To The Outdoorsman Motel!

Welcome Kerry and Laurie Kinderman, the new owners of the Outdoorsman!   Kerry and Laurie Kinderman have recently opened the Outdoorsman Motel formally known as the Sportsman and are quickly renovating the rooms and outside.   EDC staff stopped in to meet the new owners and were welcomed by the loveable yellow lab Harley, who couldn’t wait for his belly rub. Kerry and Laurie join us from Lake Holcombe, Wisconsin United States and are excited about their new venture in Wawa.   Kerry and Laurie have a passion for the outdoors and owned a camp on the Magpie River, visiting Wawa for years before taking the plunge to become business owners and residents.   Kerry has a hobby of building homes and loves wood working, as you can see by the

beautiful work in their motel lobby in the included photo. They plan on renovating the entire 37 rooms to be wildlife themed. Currently, they have 17 rooms open for rent and are renovating room by room. Kerry stated that the rooms are larger than the average motel which customers find very convenient.   The Kinderman’s are avid snowmobilers and ATVer’s and welcome everyone to stop by and say hello. Kerry and Laurie would like the community to know that they are looking for housekeeping staff and if interested to please drop resumes off at the front desk of the motel (171 Mission Road, Wawa). Congratulations to Kerry and Laurie, Wawa is happy to have you invest in our community!
