Connie’s

Connie and Jim Funkhouser purchased the vacant Timber’s Edge building over a year ago. Using a lot of vision and sweat, they have transformed it into Connie’s Restaurant and Saloon. Drawing on their experience as owners of the Island Park Lodge over almost three decades, they have built another great eatery for locals and visitors. Connie attributes her success in getting this project completed to the efforts of their many friends in the community.

The motif is Island Park all the way. Pine logs accent the interior and furnishings. Connie’s atmosphere feels like the Funkhousers built a new house and are inviting the community to drop in anytime.

The food is the same high quality cuisine that we have come to expect from the Lodge. The new “state of the art” kitchen will allow Connie’s to serve more guests while minimizing wait time.

Connie has also added a workout room. With several high quality cardio machines and enough weight equipment to keep those muscles toned, the gym is a welcome addition to Island Park. Memberships are available. Connie’s mother, Irene has her own boutique inside the building. She has been supporting Daisy’s Angels for several years through the sales of fashionable clothing and accessories. 

Connie and Jim have taken a lifeless shell of a building and built something wonderful. It is worthy of a visit. Grand opening will be December 26.
