The salad bar and side bars meant we were able to satisfy every dietary need and be full at every meal. The lines at the cafeteria moved quickly if there was one. The immediate hot water in the showers was a blessed bonus! The staff was warm, informative and pleasant. We will be back! Thanks so much!

The more people that come the better!Even though there's lots to do, the most exciting excursions are charged separately from the set price. I would visit again given the chance, however there's always room for improvement.

It truly made our wedding amazing. There wasn't a part of this experience that I could improve. From the moment I called to show interest to leaving the morning after our wedding - the atmosphere, the accommodations, and the genuine joy I experienced working with Katy and our wedding staff was nothing short of a blessing. We had a wedding of about 80-100 people. We fit everyone, a dance floor, a buffet, a bartender, and a DJ inside. We could have fit more. They met with me many times before the wedding, letting me come out to see the venue and show my wedding party the space. We chose to decorate ourselves, and it was easy to do. I spent about $200 on flowers and decor, because it just doesn't need much to be elegant and inviting at the same time. The tipis are naturally intriguing, even my most traditional guests commented on how majestic they are. You must view them with the lights on in the evening to truly understand the effect. The pictures turned out beautifully. They have a cabin on premises they rent for you to stay the night of your wedding. I strongly suggest this, because you're gonna be exhausted! The bedroom is in a loft with a spiral staircase, and it feels magical when you're already euphoric from being married. They have a space for the ceremony complete with seating and then they have the reception in the Tipis. Even if you don't use the ceremony space, it makes for amazing photos. My guests were impressed with the "something different" factor. They will always remember our wedding, because it's such a unique location; it's not just another fancy, dressed-up banquet hall. I am usually the traditional type and wouldn't have expected myself to step-out-of-the-box in this way, but I cannot describe how grateful I am that I did. The atmosphere puts people at ease and sets the experience apart from any other event I've been to. Katy and co. were patient and delighted in my successes along the way. My joys were their joys, and it was a breath of fresh air. I truly believe they cared for my entire experience. As I sit here and reflect on my wedding, I feel blessed to have found people who are willing and capable, not pushy but always available, and just generally all-around wonderful humans. Oh! And they have their own sound system and they can control the temperature perfectly. If you don't want to hire a DJ, you can play from an iPad easily!

I have mixed reactions to our recent visit and. I have wavered between giving this review 4 or 3…read morestars. We have visited this retreat for over 35 years previously known as Chain 'O Lakes. We have noted and appreciated the improvements made over the years. Beautiful, serene, rustic setting-a great place to unwind. -WIFI worked well and consistently throughout our visit. -Cabins basically clean, good beds, clean bed linens and generous numbers of towels. Dining table, dining chairs, side tables and coffee tables as well as couches are well worn. Basic dinnerware and eating utensils; there are no skillets, pans or cooking/serve ware utensils such as egg turners, no mixing bowls...you need to bring these with you. -Communication and information lacking. The website does not provide current updates to the facility and the status of its amenities and services. We had planned to enjoy one meal a day at The Hilltop restaurant and it was closed for our 3 day/2night visit. We had planned to have burgers/snacks by the pool and the snack bar was closed. These unannounced and unexpected closings caused us to leave the retreat and find a grocery store 15 miles away. Then we had to select food items that could be baked because we had no pots/pans or skillets nor utensils to cook and serve with. Amenities not in service included The Hilltop Herb Farm Restaurant, the snack bar beside the pool, and the hot tub. ***PLEASE NOTE: The reason I am giving this review 4 stars is the congeniality of the people at the front desk. Had they been rude I would have dropped one or more stars.*** When I inquired as to why the restaurant and snack bar were closed I was given these points of interest from the very nice young ladies at the front desk. Additionally they very graciously responded that they would inform management about my concerns. -Oh the restaurant is closed during the week-well sometimes it's open. It will be open this weekend I think. (Well, I was leaving on Friday!) -Regarding the snack bar being closed: Well it's only open if the restaurant is. -We've been slammed with big groups and some summers we are more family oriented. (I'm sorry, I was not advised that inconsistant hospitality was a management strategy!) -Regarding the hot tub; well, things break. (Understandable that things break, but how is it being addressed and will it be repaired before my party leaves?) -Carriage Rides? Nope, not in service. There are limited hours of operation for the gift shop which has gifts, snacks, and fishing supplies. It would be a convenient service if this area remained open until 9 pm. A nice evening walk to this area for an ice cream for the kids would have been a nice option. Overall there seems to be a lack of attention, concern, and dedication to providing guests with current information and procedures in order for guests to have an excellent experience. When O think of this visit I feel the most descriptive words would be "sad and lacking". It stings a little to pay the prices of our stay and to have so much broken or closed. I could have spent much less and had similar natural beauty to behold at a state or national park. I do hope that management will button things up quite a bit and provide a friendly, enthusiastic, friendly staff, with current information easily and readily available regarding amenities, services, and procedures for checking out canoes and other equipment. Suggestions: -E-Post daily retreat schedule of events -Paddleboard rentals -tennis or pickleball -a kid/teen rec area with ping pong, tv movie rentals, vending machines
