We just stayed at the Shuster's Shawano Lake Resort. There were positives and negatives as with every experience. The views from the cabins are gorgeous and the cabins were clean. They were modern and we'll kept. Those were some of the positives.
We were double booked with another family, so we were bumped from the cabin with the washer and dryer.... Not the end of the world but when you have small children and plan on a washer and dryer being present it is difficult. The resort advertises WiFi, but not a single person in our group picked up the signal or was able to use it. This was not fixed by the owner during our stay. It was not a big deal, but when trying to search for dinner ideas ect, we had little reception and no WiFi to help.
The beach was not cleaned of dead fish and seaweed until Wed /Thursday. Again, not the end of the world but when you have a busy 2 year old, it is not fun constantly having to direct him around the seaweed and dead fish.
It was slightly odd how the owner came and sat/monitored us packing up at 7:30/8am when check out is 9am. It was just different I guess. Not bad but not great.
We rented pontoon boats from the owner, but he had taken out the lights so we could not use them at night on the lake. We highly recommend not renting the boats from the owner if you want to be legally on the boat at sunrise /sunset.
Overall we had a nice family trip but will not be staying here again due to the changes from what was advertised (WiFi /laundry /pontoon rental -no night restrictions listed) read more
