Been coming here for years! And we will be back out again this summer. Don't believe the 1-star…read morereviews here, but DO your due diligence. This place is spacious and amazing for hosting big families (we have 19 coming this summer). We have been coming to Spider Lake/Teal Lake/Lost Land Lake for over 30 years every few summers. It's very relaxing. Amenities are few so bring your groceries. This place is not a 5-star luxury hotel so come with realistic expectations, nowhere around here is like that. The entire point is to unwind a bit and enjoy nature and that's exactly what you get. The lake is beautiful and serene, with plenty of wildlife. We often see beavers, eagles, herons, and SO much more in the channel a quick paddle or boat ride away. They rent pontoons and kayaks/canoes and paddleboats very reasonably. City folk (like myself) might notice there's not a lot to do around here, and that's kind of the point. So again, come in knowing you're disconnecting for a bit and go to nearby Hayward for Zoom meetings (30 min drive). I find these places to be a quite reasonable price considering, but I am coming from San Diego, so your mileage may vary. I literally paid more for 1 night in Tijuana (place on the beach w pool, 5 bedroom) than we did for the same size house here for a week. I call that a bargain! The staff are very friendly but it's a family run business so don't expect that big resort type attentive staff. Let them know when you're coming, call from town so they know to expect you, and you should have no issues at check-in. Don't miss Hayward for stuff to do: we love Tremblay's fudge and Go-Karting. But here, it's all about enjoying nature at it's finest, unspoiled and tucked away. The type of place where in season my daughter can share her sandwich with the ducklings by tossing bread off the pier.

We spent a wonderful weekend at the resort. Telephone conversations prior to our visit, and…read moredirections provided were excellent. The Lodge has a very rustic appeal with a comfortable Great Room with fireplace that the owner was quick to light for us. Meals were served in an inviting room just off that area. Our meals were excellent, and very reasonably priced. Our server, Allie, took great care of us for the two days we visited. Our cabin was right on the lake shore with a fantastic view. The one room cabin was larger than we expected, clean but rustic. Hey, rustic was what we were expecting and loved. In the cabin was a book more complete than I have seen at any resort outlining everything you could want to know, and more about the resort, fishing, local sightseeing, and local lore. The owners are very pleasant to talk to, and very accommodating. If you are dog lovers, but don't own one of your own, the three resort dogs are very friendly and appreciative of attention. I enjoyed sitting in front of the blazing fireplace and petting them during my stay. You can't go wrong staying here.

Butternut Hills Golf is an excellent course in northern Wisconsin. Any level of golfer can be…read morechallenged by the course. Some sand, some water and some narrow fairways - but a fair course if you can hit your ball reasonably straight. Greens on some holes are tricky - but all but a couple are in great shape. I like to walk - but it is tough on this course because of the distance between some of the greens to the next tee box. So, unless you have time for a 5 hour round - probably best to take a cart. The green fees are a little pricey - but I normally only play this course on the weekends- so I assume they jack up the prices on the weekends to take advantage of the cabin owners. However, I enjoy the course enough to pay a little extra.

On hole 5, the owner and another employee were sitting on riding mowers talking in the middle of the area we needed to play through. They stayed there for over five minutes with no apparent concern that they were blocking play. Rather than continue waiting, we decided to hit around them. Unfortunately, my ball landed about 10 yards off the fairway and struck the owner. As soon as we saw where the ball was headed, we immediately yelled "Fore!" loud enough for anyone nearby to hear. The owner later claimed we never yelled a warning, which is simply not true. We told him to ask the people behind us and completely disregarded our offer and was adamant that he was right. Instead of handling the situation professionally, he drove over to our group of five and kicked us off the course, even though we had spent nearly $200 to golf that day. We asked for a refund since we were not allowed to finish our round, but he refused. After we finished the hole we were already playing, he threatened to call the police on us. When we later spoke with the owner's wife, she told us that he has been hit by golf balls many times before. If that's true, it raises the question of why he continues to sit in or near the line of play while golfers are actively playing the course. The entire situation could have been avoided if the employees had simply not been sitting where golfers were expected to hit. We were treated unfairly, denied the remainder of the round we paid for, refused a refund, and then threatened with the police. I also have a photo showing exactly where my ball landed in relation to the hole. After being longtime customers, this experience was extremely disappointing. I won't be spending another dollar here, and based on how we were treated, I can't recommend this course to anyone. In the photos below you can see my ball in the picture, straight ahead from where I took the picture. It looks to be about 20 yards from the pin, so in my books that's a great shot for being 157 yards out.
