"Hello, Heartwood? I would like to make reservations for your Mother's Day Brunch for 9:00 a.m."…read more "How many will be in your party?" "Just me. My husband passed away in January." We went on, the two of us, talking pleasantries a bit more, stranger to stranger. I promised I would be there at 9:00 and hung up. The next morning, I was there on time and was greeted by the young woman who recognized my name. "We talked last night. You are our guest today. No charge." Stephanie said. I was dumbfounded and realized that she saw within me something I didn't realize I had revealed--that I needed to be pampered, that I was vulnerable, that I was tired, that I was worried, that I hurt. I had never alluded to any of that over the phone, but she knew. The staff regularly checked on me, the owner especially making certain I was fine, and I was. The brunch was amazing, filled with luscious entrees, a far cry from the normal Northwoods pizza-hamburger venues. I was also able to enjoy watching the young parents with their children, lining up for their eggs and shrimp and everything delightful. I am home now and soon I will be watching a movie--probably a western--that my husband would have liked. I will remember him telling me all about the lives of the actors, how this movie compared to another, how the plots developed. I will remember my folks and wish they were again enjoying the rustic comforts of the cabin. I will remember my caring son and daughter who will call later to see what mischief I have been into. And I will remember the "strangers" who crossed my path today to help point me forward into a journey of hope.

That said the event hosted around 176 people for dinner and the Duces Wild music show. First, the place is beautiful and vert well maintained. The meal we had was terrific (Walleye). The other choices were Rib eye steak and a chicken dish. We didn't hear one negative comment about the food. The service was great, food was hot and served quickly. A real accomplishment in today's market where no one wants to work. We will go back!

The berry picker pizza is very good and unique. The garlic sauce on it is delicious and they put a…read morelot of toppings. I love how the toppings get crispy, especially the wild rice and feta cheese. I just wish they used chicken breast instead of thigh on the pizzas. The island pizza is also very good but we like to sub and get red sauce instead of the bbq sauce so it's just like a hawaiian pizza. As always, we got the thick crust with both pizzas. It was very busy so we waited about 30 minutes but service was good. We split 2 mediums between 6 of us and it was plenty with the popcorn!

Because it's a bit outside town, it was very quiet and we had a good night of much needed sleep. For the money (inexpensive) it was fine as we didn't need more than it provided. Did I mention we are sure our room was haunted?? Even our cats thought so!! Heard people walking off and on during the night in the next unit and talking, too - only there wasn't anyone staying in it or the next 3 rooms toward the office! We were on the end, no one next to us nor behind. We are planning to stay here again this fall to find out more on that subject!! (Hope "they" are friendly!!)

Anchor Bay Campground is on the lake side of County E. It has campsites and 2 cabins, with a beautiful beach and the Red, White, and Brew bar, and there are kayaks available for the use of campers. The stars over the lake at night are spectacular. Anchor Woods Campground is on the other side of the road and offers beautiful wooded campsites with full hookups, a new playground and Gaga ball court for kids, and lots of peace and quiet. We spent a relaxing week there in August, enjoying the quiet of the north woods. The owners, Mike and Tammy, are always available, very friendly, and will do whatever they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

A $10 and 2 singles, and had to wait 20 minutes for some punk named Brian to come down and tell me he "saw the tape, and I didn't put ANY money into the machine" but meanwhile two nice little old ladies had come forth and told him they SAW me put money in, and this ignorant @$$hole quick replies with "THE CAMERAS DONT LIE!" So idk what kinda shotty place that punks running, but two custodial members got pissed about how this dude treated his customers and quit. So BRIAN, i hope you read this about the LIE you told me and the two other players, and how your staff quit on the spot.
