Had canoes, paddle boat and kayaks for use. Cute little activity room available with a foosball table and some pinball machines. We'd recommend you check them out! It was our first trip there and have already booked for 2020!

From the pre-trip communications, to the quick tutorial on the machines, to the tour itself - everything Steve did with our group was perfect. Steve was amazing with the boys, a wealth of knowledge about the Northwoods of Wisconsin and many other adventure spots across the globe. Being 3 dads that have had the fortune and opportunity to do many fun things all over the place, we all agreed that a day with Steve was worth double what we paid based on the total value of the experience. Thank You & Keep up the great work Steve. See you next year in Eagle River or Alaska !!

First time on a snowmobile and decided it would be a good idea to go on a tour. Decker tours popped…read moreup first on Google so I gave them a try. The tour at best was 2 stars. The tour guide miscounted and I almost didn't get a snowmobile. The one I did get wouldn't turn on so we spent 15 minutes waiting for them to turn it on and warm up. Finally we got on the trail and what should have been a 4 hour tour, turned into 6 hours because the snowmobiles kept breaking. The owners snowmobile kept overheating so we kept stopping so he could throw snow on the engine. One snowmobile just stopped 15 miles into the tour and they had to be picked up. Halfway through the tour we stopped at a gas station for 30 minutes and my snowmobile would not turn on so they had to tow it. We switched a couple people and I got someone else's snowmobile. Unfortunately I cannot recommend Decker tours to anyone. You have to update equipment and gear. My dad got frost burn/frostbite under his chin because of faulty head gear. It seemed like they didn't care what you had on. The handle bar warmers weren't working on mine or my father's snowmobile. There are plenty of other places that have new gear and equipment. You don't need a tour if you're a first time rider.

If you're looking for luxury, or a contemporary resort experience, this is definitely not your place. Service: I would describe the service we received as very competent. It's a family run business, and they've been doing it for decades. The phone was answered when we needed it to be answered. The reservations were fulfilled without any issues. Dean, the manager, only has one additional person on staff, but he knows how to make it all work. It's a little eccentric, when compared to a more corporate resort experience, but that's how a family run hospitality business can be. Location: Staying on an island was really fun. No cars or roads obviously, and not even many foot trails. A lot of peace and quiet. A bit of planning is needed to get everything and everyone out to the island, but we saw it as an adventure. Our group is all about being on the water, so for us being on the Eagle River chain of lakes was amazing. We brought two wake/surf boats, and also rented two pontoon boats from Gypsy Villa. The pontoons were old, rudimentary, and noisy, but they always got us where we needed to go. The chain of lakes is bigger than our group could ever see in a week. We spent the majority of our days on Cranberry Lake busy with watersports, and took the pontoons out to dinner three times. It was great having dining options available by boat ride. Facilities: The cabins are all 50 to 60 years old, including the décor. They were clean and fully functional. Most in our group were fine with their beds, some weren't. We all had hot water. The kitchen appliances were dated, but they worked fine. I had hot coffee every morning. Plenty of cookware and utensils. The TVs are old, but we never turned them on anyway. Overall, we all enjoyed the funky cabins. We stayed in the Executive Cabin, and it was generally good. It has a big screen porch that we were able to seat 17 people in for dinner one rainy evening. An odd characteristic of the cabin was that the vaulted ceiling is open between the two downstairs bedrooms, with the wall only going up to 8 feet. My wife and I were in one room, and our teenage son was in the other. Weird. The only real complaint from our group about the facility was that there isn't a fire pit at every cabin. That really should be changed. Having a well designed fire pit next to the water at each cabin should not be too great of a risk to manage. The game room is a total time warp, with all the "video games" being from the 1980's. The pool table worked fine. Everything takes quarters. The kids hung out there when it rained a couple times, but it's not a destination. We used the tennis/basketball court every day for pickleball (we brought our own equipment). Overall: "Up North" resorts with cabins on the shoreline of a Wisconsin lake are from a bygone time. They're like the lodging version of a vintage supper club. It's an experience that's not for everyone, or even most people today. With fewer and fewer people spending their vacation time in places like this, these resorts are disappearing. What this means from a quality stand point is that they've typically not been updated in years, and won't stand up to contemporary resort expectations. But, it has a rustic charm that my friends and I grew up with, and we're really very happy we can still find it, and share it with our kids. Gypsy Villa has rustic charm in spades. At the end of the week everyone wanted to start planning our return next summer.
