Most of the rooms have a small balcony that in the summer would be perfect for cocktails overlooking the beautiful tree line lake in your backyard. In the winter time, there's a whirlpool tub in the bedroom to look out over the snow, covered trees and beautiful winter wonderland while you soak the stress away. Because it's condos almost all the rooms have a small full kitchen, though it's not well stocked. Small conveniences like a vase for flowers would be helpful.

There is an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, a kids play area, a beach, and many trails. We stayed in the lodge. The room was large. We were picking up my son from camp and I though we would have to share a room, but it was large enough that we ran out and bought a cheap air mattress so he could have his own bed. There are cabins on the property, a supper club, and a coffee bar, but we did not try any of those. The resort was quite busy. There were groups of all ages. While our room was large, the bathroom was very dated and in need of a renovation. There was a binder highlighting aspects of the lodge, but some of the pages had mold growing on them. I thought there was daily room cleaning, but our room was never touched. Perhaps I missed something. Definitely a place to check out if you are looking for lodging in the area.

Or was it the friendly and welcoming proprietors Lou and Colleen? One thing I am sure of is that I would love to come again and again. There are two rental cabins that are attached (connected) perfect for large family gatherings as each cabin has a bunk bed and another separate room with bed. Shower and bathroom, full size fridge, and a stove. There is another log cabin available but I did not see that one. Also, there is a bar with a pool table that can be rented for family gatherings as well. There is a private ramp (boat launch) and multiple docks right outside the cabins that are only 30 to 40 feet from the water. This place is magical. Come here from the city to completely unplug and unwind in this wooden paradise. I can't say enough about this place or Lou snd Colleen!

I stayed all week, my cabin was warm and comfortable. I enjoyed myself. I most certainly will come back...perhaps during the spring or summer, and enjoy swimming and fishing on the lake.

Been going to Shady Rest for 6 years in a row. Best place we've ever been to in northern Wisconsin…read moreafter sampling 3 other options. We meet up with extended family, mix of younger and older kids. A reliably great time, exactly what a "week up north" is supposed to be. Tons of activities, perfect sandy beach, good fishing from dock or boat. Place is run by a great genuine family. Lots of water sports available - skiing, tubing, etc etc. The cabins are a bit on the rustic/vintage side but very clean, most are right on the water. Staff is super attentive, food (breakfasts and dinners) is great. Very family oriented.

We stayed in the Manor House (four individual suites that can be combined or used separately). The eight of us (one Grannie, three parents, four kids aged 15 - 22) stayed there after leaving the Super Eight in Tomahawk WI where we were attending a wedding. This family resort is one of the most beautiful places we've ever been. Situated on the stunning Lake Manson in Rhineland WI, the owners Brad & Amy Francis were excellent hosts. We called very last minute to get the rooms after a not so pleasant stay at the Super Eight. When we arrived, Brad took us over to the rooms before taking any kind of payment, then told us to come on back to the office whenever we were ready. The rooms were nice and clean, with beautiful decks off of each of the second floor rooms and a nice patio off of the first floor rooms with views of the lake just a few feet away. As we stood there enjoying the view, a bald eagle swooped right by to welcome us! With multiple piers, the lake was never more than a few feet away, boats, kayacks, bikes, a playground, a recreation room, water skiing & wakeboarding, fishing poles were all available for use as well as a lovely beach area with plenty of room to relax. The vibe was total relaxation or fun activities - whatever you want to do, no scheduling required. You could take advantage of the meal plan if you wanted, or you could make use of the kitchens in each suite. We ended up eating one evening meal there (the Sunday night grilled extravaganza) which was most tasty. But mostly we just relaxed and enjoyed our time in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. I would highly recommend this place to families of all shapes and sizes! Relax and enjoy the beauty and/or play and enjoy the lake - it's all up to you!

It's located on Patricia Lake, which is a non-motorized, small, beautiful lake. They rent out small boats if you don't have your own!

The bathrooms are cleaned often and no complaints there. We will continue to use this as our main campground!

As retirees, we want to travel a bit more. I was satisfied that I could find a room in a motel that…read morewas rated well among customers. I thought it was pretty nice that, on the day before the stay, they sent me several text messages about how to get to our room: directions from the main desk, the combinations to the digital locks and how to use them, and they even sent me a picture of the room's door. The outside of the hotel looked clean and might have had a recent remodel. There was no professional landscaping, but I didn't expect to see any, either. It became clear immediately that those text messages were worth saving. There is a digital combination lock for the main door and the same combination for the door leading up to our room. There was no one at the main desk, which I thought was odd. Our room's door was missing the trim around it (I was told via text that the digital lock is new, so I assume that the whole door is new, too?). Our room was located on the second floor - the only room on the second floor. The only way to get there was to navigate the narrow hallway then climb some stairs that were slightly steeper than standard. Because we are retirees and my wife's knees have been surgically replaced, the steepness made it difficult to get to our room. When I got to the top of the stairs I could see that there is a non-zero probability of accidentally falling down the stairs as there is no door or gate at the top. Nevertheless, the room looked spacious and cozy. The bedroom was comfortable and well set up. It was roomy, had comfy chairs, a day beef in addition to the king bed, a coffee bar, and a TV which we didn't use. It looks like they spent most of their remodeling money on the bathroom. It's very nice and big (see pics). The bedroom's and hallway's carpeted areas don't feel like they're well-padded. Our picture window looks out over a lake with loads of lilypads and a deck. We got lucky and saw three deer (a doe and two fawns). If you don't like interacting with humans, you don't have to. We did online booking, got our keys (digital combinations) via text message, and left without seeing anyone. I wonder how long it would have taken to get assistance if we needed it. In sum, we would not stay at this motel in the future. For younger persons with good knees, this would be a good choice.
