What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Telemark Resort & Convention Center was a resort in the Town of Cable, in Wisconsin's Bayfield County lakes district, that Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) featured in the episode that aired 2013-01-21 (S2E6). According to Wikipedia (revised 2026-08-23), the resort — also known as Telemark Lodge — was demolished in April 2021. Coverage of the site's history, including an article from Midwest Weekends, describes the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation acquiring the property in 2021, demolishing the original lodge, and beginning to develop the roughly 713-acre grounds into an outdoor-recreation hub with expanded skiing, biking, and hiking trails. The same coverage describes a new operation, Home Base at Mount Telemark Village, opening on the former lodge grounds in late 2023 with nine camper-cabin rooms. A separate business, Telemark Northwoods Lodging, currently lists the same 15315 Nordmor Rd address in Cable on an active Yelp page updated in September 2026 and on Facebook, and Google Places lists that business as operational at the address named in the episode. The lodge's website URL returned an HTTP 200 response on 2026-09-09, though the page text captured was minimal and did not contain descriptive content beyond the site's own URL. The Telemark Resort & Convention Center featured on Hotel Impossible in 2013 no longer exists in its original form; the vacation-rental business now using the same road address is a distinct, later operation tied to the post-2021 redevelopment of the grounds rather than a continuation of the original resort.
