We sat in the back room which only held our party. After moving some lightbulbs around so we could see better, we settled in to order. They have a nice selection of beers on tap. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with a side of coleslaw which was good. We shared cheese curds which were excellent and I copped a few fries from other's plates and those were yummy too. Staff was good. Nice experience.

Best food on the lake and the service is always friendly. Great selection of things to drink too.read more

Breakfast is included and they do a good job with that- eggs, sausage, toast, bagels, yogurt, hash browns, fresh fruit & so on. Heads up: the restaurant is closed on Sundays.

We stayed here for one night in a family suite after camping for 4 days. What a great place to…read morerelax and rejuvenate. Our shower was huge with two showers in one with multiple jets. The living room area and kitchen where very large and you could make this your base camp while exploring the area if you wish to and make a full meal to avoid the expenses of eating out for a family. The water slide and pool area where great for the kids and mom and dad to have fun. The breakfast in the morning was amazing!! The staff was super friendly and did everything possible to make our stay great. We had dinner at the restaurant attached to the hotel and couldn't have been more happy. The prime rib was perfect, the Salmon was cooked perfectly. Even the kids mac n cheese was done well and not Kraft out of the box and the pizza was nice and crispy. The not kids item that was just normal was the chicken strips. We will be back! We will be back.

Went there on a Friday evening because there was no room at any hotels in town, so we decided to camp at this one. They have canoes and paddle boats you can borrow to go in the lake. Also a small beach with beach toys for kids. I would definitely go back there and spend more time relaxing or go fishing. Thank you for your hospitality.

I really want to give this resort 5 stars. I just can't. We had unfortunate timing to stay as the…read moresame time as the owner's friends. They had little people who ran amok unsupervised in nothing but diapers/swimsuits and life jackets and the screamed the blood-curdling scream of death every 30 secs. This wasn't typical little kids playing. It was high-pitched screeching and none of the parents did anything to curb this behavior. On top of that, these small children were left unsupervised while using the docks, swimming platforms and kayaks. When it was mentioned to the manager, he was okay with it because they were friends of the parents. This sort of behavior is simply not cool no matter who you're friends with. Here are some good things to share: the cabins were small but clean and it was stocked with everything you might need, the lake view was amazing, the swimming hole and beach looked like fun and there was a nice view of the lake from the deck, the selection of non-motorized water crafts were pretty great ... a nice value for my money. Under different circumstances, the family and manager appear to be colorful people! Also, the addition of Blue, the resident eaglet, was a welcome curiosity that added a surprising twist to our weekend. I hope him well in his eagle upbringing. I hate to leave this review. But my husband, children and I were at the resort looking for some peace and quiet. We had come from a funeral and we all need some time to get away from the stress of everyday life. We all left in worse shape then when we arrived. Honestly, we should've stayed at the casino down the road for half the price. Blue Moon, I really wanted to give you a better review. But unfortunately, I just can't. Good Luck with all of your future endeavors.

As a single older woman I would highly recommend staying away from this place. The advertising…read morephotos are quite misleading. I arrived there on June 20 of this year and was greeted by a lovely young man. I checked into my room of which I was to stay in for 4 nights. It is a 2 story walk up and he helped with my bags. I went to my room and found it to smell strongly of cleaning chemicals. It was a dark space with orange and brown walls overlooking the Perkins and Aldi. I did not feel safe there. I went back downstairs and told the young man that I could not stay there and that the room smelled of chemicals. While there were other folks in the lobby I did not want to embarrass him or those waiting. He said he was going to charge me for the one night and I said something came up and I had to leave. I found a love,y room at a Marriott in Duluth. A few days later I filled out a form online regarding my stay and received a succinct answer from Gloria the manager stating that she would not refund my money. I explained the situation to her and how I felt with multiple emails back from her. In one email she inferred that I was not telling the truth. After working in hospitality for over 20 years I understand the importance of customer contact. At that point I escalated my concern to the Executive offices of Wyndham and had a pleasant interaction with them. This motel is not up to Wyndham standards. Although the young man at the desk was as pleasant as can be the manager is not and frankly should take a lesson from him in customer relations. She escalated my email to some general manager email address of which there has been no response. I give this place one star for Jared the young staff member. I would not recommend this establishment for much else.

The room was clean, comfortable and updated with a view out the back. We stayed in the connected rooms so it was like a motel but they also had separate cottages behind that to stay in. The family that runs it must live near one end where you can see piles of stuff all over. I admit that looked really bad so i was afraid of what the room would be like and my wife and I enjoyed our stay there. We would book another room there, no problem. It was also affordable. Enjoy the photos.

This took a turn however when we went to the pool and whirlpool. We sat in whirlpool, but the rooms floors where black/white and when we attempted to go into the pool, we walked out a.s.a.p. because of the brown floors that also needed scrubbing. Ugghhh! When I told the concierge, she said, " Well they change the water every day". I reminded her that it is not enough and I'm posting pictures.

I'd say it was just odd, tho not so bad that we weren't nose blind to it shortly after arriving & didn't notice it while in the room. King room with plenty of space, outlets, lighting, temperature control & in-room amenities. The pad on the bed wasn't pulled tight or it wasn't sized correctly. I didn't sleep well because I could feel the lumps and ripples (princess & the pea moment). If I'd noticed BEFORE getting in bed, I'd have fixed it. I was flat-out beat tho & took the lazy way out. We, again, hit up breakfast. They had the standard spread of waffle maker, eggs (scrambled, omelet-like & boiled), sausage, potatoes & we greatly appreciated the seasonings & sauces available to give that same ole same ole a bit of pop. Parking was easy & we didn't use anything here besides the room & breakfast. We arrived late & left early the next morning, to officially start our tour. Note: We were 3rd of 4 in line to check in. The gal whipped out waters for #1, thanked him for being a Diamond member, told him what his points/bonus points were, explained ALL the hotel info - pool, gym, breakfast, check-out. # 2 gets up to the desk & the gal asks if they've stayed before, she replies not here but a lot of best westerns, giggle & gives hotel some info / #2 asks if there's Diamond Elite parking spaces (casual for hey, no mention of my loyalty, perhaps?) - response was "no, we're not that fancy" - no water given. We get up & the gal says, "did you catch all that or do you want it repeated?" We say we're good & she says most important thing is breakfast is at 6a - no waters for us. #4, took her back to interaction style of #1. It could be inconsistent or efficient, depending on how you look at it. (Had we asked for water, they no doubt would have given it. We had our own & it was perfectly visible at check-in.) Hubs is Diamond Elite. We booked direct with Best Western & didn't use points.
