Rooms were lean as well. the staff is very accommodating. Breakfast in the morning was above average. Just a few hiccups. We booked a king, and did not get one. That happens. While rooms were nice and current, the tubs were not replaced and it showed. Also, the heavy curtains did not close, and there were lights in the soffit that lit up the room. I like a dark room for sleep and rigged up a way to block the light using hangers, but kind of a pain. If looking for a night's sleep, would recommend.

Was working with a local realtor one morning at this unit's kitchen table when a person without knocking ENTERED ROOM, then, quickly left without a word. Numerous front desk visits and two phone calls by me after checkout over a two week period, found General Manager, Mr. B..., unavailable. On 9/4/2025, I received a return phone call from General Manager. Was told he and an Asst. Manager found lock on door of said unit operable and working. During my four night stay in the one bedroom unit nearing $400 per night for room and attached room fees with an inoperable interior security door lock, I was credited $25 per night ($100 total). I expressed compensation was inadequate. General Manager said he would look at interior lock again. If still inoperable, he would reconsider additional compensation. I requested a call back on his findings. Will add to this post at that time. (Note: This was my third stay at this resort over a fourteen month period.)

We pretty much were the only ones in our wing of the lodge and it was great. Great showers, great roomy room, and view of what would be a lake, but it was iced over. The room was nice and cozy warm too. It would have been nice to have a channel to know what we were watching but we were gone a lot. Room service was great too! Everyone there was super friendly and helpful. One thing, feedback wise, is maybe to put a door before the hallway where the rooms are. The voices echo in the lobby and we could hear them all the way down the hallway. A little thing, but we noticed it. We would definitely stay here again, it was delightful and a great find!!

The owner emailed us within 10 minutes of reserving online letting us know they would have a room ready. We were again greeted by the owner at check-in, and she could not have been more genuinely friendly. Our room was very clean, and the price was great. If you're in the area, shop local and don't stay in one of the chain hotels. Places like this deserve business.

Terrible. Most of…read morethe staff - at least 80% - are unhappy, miserable, and not courteous. In fact, the 80% number might be low. From the staff at the check-in counter, to the bartenders, to the persons working the casino floor... these people are terribly unfriendly. The rooms, while clean, lacked adequate sound proofing; throughout the night and day, I could hear people walking in their room from the floor above and I could clearly hear people talking as they walked past my room. The rooms are terrible! The new restaurant in the bar, the Rock 'n' Brew, I believe, was disappointing. Tried some chicken wings, which were flavorful, but the staff screwed up my side order thrice. The first time, my side order arrived with unwanted and unrequested cheese atop it. The waitress apologized and sent it back to the kitchen. The side order returned to my table... COLD! The waitress apologized again, sent it back to the kitchen, and returned with it later. When my broccoli arrived it final time, it was an overheated mash of green; steamed broccoli should retain a small crunch and not be mashed like baby food! The manager visited my table, apologized, and removed the side dish from my bill. I do not recommend the restaurant and I will not patronize it again. The casino floor was... unimpressive. While there were many slot machines, a handful of which were new, there were only a couple of card tables both of which were staffed by miserable persons. There is no roulette. There is no craps table. There is no fun to be had here. Compared to a casino such as the Oneida Casino near Green Bay, this is the worst casino I have visited in Wisconsin. Stay far, far away.

She takes great care of the cabins and always has great suggestions when you ask her about anything local from food to activities. The property is great for walks and there's some horses and donkeys to check out too. Our dogs always feel at home on the ranch. We love to ride ATV trails and Spur of the Moment has trail access. You ride from your front door to anywhere you like in the area, no trailering. On our last trip we brought a side x side and all the great trails permitted our lager machine. All of the meals we ate out we did by riding our machines to and Ann supplied us with maps so we knew where we were going. The trail system has so many local and long distant places to go to it's good for beginners as well as veterans. Last thing that we've always enjoyed is the other guests. The Ranch is not only good to ATV'ers it's VERY horse friendly. On a busy weekend you can have all types of guests and on every trip we've done it's never mattered what you're into, people are just friendly. It's flat out relaxing.
