It had electric and hot and cold water, a shower , sink and toilet and even a small tv with a VCR and a pile of Disney VHS movies that my kids loved. I liked it's rustic old world feel. Views of the lake were beautiful, it was fall color leaf time and the trees were stunning. i would stay there again and suggest it to anyone looking for a real lake cabin experience.

This is equivalent to stealing.

My Apple Moscow mule was delicious, too. However, the service was a bit slow. Although our server was sweet, we felt a bit forgotten and had to ask for a few items. It also took quite a while to get everything, even though it wasn't busy. We also noticed some details that could be improved. The potato skins were served with cheese sauce instead of real cheese, which made them feel more like something from a cheap fast food place--not what we expected for a $100 meal. And, unlike most places that offer a bread basket, we only received two rolls. Overall, the food was great, but a few small changes could make the experience even better.

They have been more than patient with our requests, questions, and concerns. Each time the boat was newer and suited our needs. The staff was helpful in orienting us to the boat and its options. The past two times we opted to rent a tube along with the boat for our younger kids. They made boat size recommendations that had both cost and excitement in mind. We've had nothing but good experiences and plan to go back again.

One other person mentioned to just make it a day trip to come here but I think it really depends on your interests. This is a really nice resort that would be much more expensive in a more populated location or easier to get to destination. If you don't golf, they have pontoon boats with a captain you can pay for to explore the surrounding river, kayaks, canoes, atv's, and bikes that you can rent, tennis/basketball on site, walking trails, and a really nice pool and hot tub. There's also a spa but we didn't try that. There's a few waterfalls within 20 minutes for some short hikes but we didn't get to see them. It's a beautiful area but relatively small area without much to do outside of the resort. They also have some winter sport options. If you do golf, the 9 hole course is easy and short. It's pretty well maintained, and if you time it right it's pretty cheap. They have an off-peak $19 nine hole rate for Monday's and can also give you clubs to borrow/rent. Food wise they basically have one nice restaurant and one bar restaurant. They both have stuff for the kids, and the food at breakwaters (the bar) was surprisingly good. I'm not a huge boneless wings fan but the sauce was nice and the Cajun seasoned chip shaped fries were great. We also tried the four seasons burger with the salted caramel sauce which was awesome as well as the classic cheese curd side. We finished it off with a shared slice of rich and delicious chocolate sin cake. The bar also has bands on the weekend (ice cream parlor on site also opens up on the weekends) and it gets very busy here with locals, especially for Packers games. Breakfast was boxed probably due to covid. It was just ok with the sort of pre-packaged items you might expect in a continental breakfast minus a waffle/pancake machine. Coffee wasn't great (pre-ground bag style with watery, weak result) and this part of our stay did not match the rest. The room was very comfortable with large beds and plenty of space. Salt water, heated pool was great for the kids and hot tub perfect for adults. Our kids really enjoyed this and we had the whole place to ourselves. I would recommend coming late summer or early fall as we did although winter could be fun too if it's not too cold. We paid a similar price (sub $200) for the comfort inn in Marquette but this is a better value higher level stay.

Brothers Joe and Peter, the new owners have been making a lot of improvements to the resort and it is very nice. There is a good sized bar that is open to the lake on three sides so there is not a bad seat in the house. The food ranges from snacks and appetizers to wraps, burgers and of course, a fish fry and all were delicious. The drinks are good and reasonably priced and the atmosphere can't be beat. I sat in that bar for a long time and between the locals and guests and people passing through, everyone was friendly and fun. Each night I sat at a different campfire with the other guests and we all had a great time. They have boat rentals, a launch for guests and plenty of slips. Plus, they have the only beach on Pickerel Lake. It is a great place to relax and unwind. I can't wait to go back in the fall.
