The Lodge is a cozy Northwoods hotel tucked away in Manitowish Waters, a cute town about 30 minutes…read morenorth of Minocqua. Its highly walkable location allows for stopping in at the local grocery store, Dixie's coffee shop, Manny's or the park to get a quick swim in. Although nice and friendly staff, this is a 4-star hotel. We were so excited for our wedding weekend and unfortunately as Bride & Groom, nothing with done to make up feel special for our day. Disappointed after all the planning and having our guests stay together, that the Lodge didn't put in the 5-star service we were expecting. Great hotel if you're looking to check out the area, not great for a special occasion stay.

So many things to do around the property. But the property itself is perfect. Super clean and up to date with a up north cabin feel. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

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!!

We checked in here before heading to "Family Day" at a nearby camp. Knowing we would have had a…read morelong day of driving beforehand, I asked for an early check-in, so we could freshen up before heading out again. 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.

Check-in was fast and seamless; room was clean and comfortable; proximity to Lake Superior was nice. We enjoyed watching the waves from the little slice of beach the hotel had behind it; there is a also a bonfire pit and quite a few comfy outdoor benches here, as well as some picnic benches nearby for folks wanting to enjoy a picnic outside. As far as restaurant options locally: the hotel is attached to one of the few restaurants in the area, so that was a good fall back on option. We passed on eating there after reading some of the reviews, choosing to go into downtown Ontonagon instead (check out Syl's!) and Antonio's (about 20-30 mins away off of 64 & 28). Again, it's just nice to have the choice nearby if you're tired of driving. Reasons this hotel didn't get a solid 5 star review is: first, the staff are not particular friendly, never greeted us all the times we walked past/obviously had questions. We had to initiate conversation with them. Secondly, although the hotel had signs saying masks are required by state mandate, some staff were not wearing masks, relying on the plexiglass barrier only.

The rooms, halls and the common room were spotless. I have been in much newer facilities that were not this well maintained. The beds were comfortable, the rooms large...they have a nice sized pool and a good sized hot tub. Like the rest of the place the pool was clean. Set in the middle of town, it is within walking distance to a wide variety of local business from shops to taverns and eating establishments. I would recommend the Acorn to anyone looking for a great nights stay.

Turns out it's just a small one room but, it was as clean a place as we've ever stayed. Had everything we needed as well. Frig, microwave, stove, sink, utensils, TV, and free Wi-FI. There is also a multi-family cabin there as well. There are some nice hiking trails around also. It's in the middle of nowhere but, it is a very nice place to stay. The owner is a very nice lady and will offer information if you need. She rents mostly to fisherman and hunters during the seasons. We will go back.
