First time visiting Chetek with some friends and rented out some cabins from Lynda. The cabins…read morewere well set up and the restaurant/bar was conveniently set up nearby. The cabins had all the necessary things you could ask for: fridge, kitchen items, bathroom and bedding. This made our long weekend super easy! Would definitely recommend to friends and family and will definitely come back next year!

Food was really good and the atmosphere was great! Bit pricey for what we got, however.read more

I came in your bar, bought a pizza, bought plenty of beer, plus a couple rounds of shots and was shooting pool in the corner peacefully with my family, causing no issues...and you still decided to come up to me and ask me to leave because someone in your bar, had an issue with me. It sounds like their problem, not mine! What did you tell them?!? I kept my distance and never said a word because I had nothing to say to the individuals in your bar I didn't care for. That's what adults do... Don't make it my problem if I'm not causing a problem. I guess this bar has turned into a "if you hurt my feelings" you need to get kicked out bar!! I'm a lifetime local and this made me feel like shit... This never should have happened and could have been avoided. So sad!!!

While they have a limited amount of beers on tap, their food was good. We went there with 6 people…read more(2 were kids) and the service was good. We definitely liked the view. We ordered the Sampler appetizer for the kids and that was a good amount of food for the both of them. All the appetizers in that sampler were delicious. The only down side we experienced was the wait to get our food. We were later informed by the waitress that the chicken usually takes 20 minutes to cook. So don't order that if you have small kids or are in a time crunch. Otherwise the burgers were good and chicken tenders were nice and crispy. We will probably come here again as their prices were really good for the food they provided.

SLBG is right on the water and they have a nice area outside to sit and relax, but it was raining…read moreso we went inside. We got there by 5 pm on a Friday and the place was packed (the parking lot is small, so keep that in mind, too), but luckily we snagged a table. The fish fry is AMAZING!! Delicious beer batter, fried perfectly, and the tartar sauce was yummy too but you really didn't need it given how wonderful the fish was on its own. My two only small critiques would be to give lemon wedges without people having to ask, and to cook the French fries longer.

Came in with a group of 16 on a Wednesday night - tables were all free and just like 10 people at…read morethe bar ordering only drinks. We all ordered a meal. Took 2hours and 15minures for the food tocome out. Half of our food was cold and the other scorching hot. Don't forget the waitress was constantly being sassy to us and would get mad if we asked for lemonade or ice. She also just seemed mad and tired (understandable but don't show that to the customers)

Less that one actually. Won a two day cabin stay at a benefit. Had great, friendly communication,…read moreuntil day of arrival. After the last communication about WiFi password, crickets........ Stayed in the Commanche, which in the photo shows a nice steel door. When we arrived, there was a rodent chewed bottom wood door, that lead to a cabin that had obviously not be cleaned for a long time. Started our trip by sanitizing our dishes as the sign in the kitchen said we needed to do, and after looking in the dishes it was obvious they needed to be cleaned. Opened the door to get a dish rag... mouse droppings. Okay, it happens. Got unpacked went out on the lake to a neighboring establishment for fish, then went fishing until dark, back to cabin, bonfire, bedtime....... you guessed it rodent holes and mouse droppings. Didn't even provide fresh bedding. Husband wanted to leave immediately, I didn't want to drive home and have to come back, so we "slept" in the living room with blankets we had in our vehicles, made it through the night and packed up. Why would you give away a free 2 night stay, and stick guests in such filth!! Thought the give away would have been meant for good advertising. With location, we definitely would have been back.But no longer..........

A unique venue with a lot of history, that is entertaining with it's hidden room and themes. If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, it's a must see.

This past weekend during the first week of July, I had the immense pleasure and opportunity to stay…read moreat the Stout's Island Lodge for a wedding. Words and even pictures can hardly express the beauty of this 26 acre island. Surrounded by a huge lake, the island was covered in lush, green, nature with a few deer grazing and hanging around, fireflies at night (and mosquitoes of course...mosquito spray did hardly nothing to deter them lol), and the sun lighting up the sky well into the night. I had no idea what to expect and this trip has easily been one of the most memorable, fun and unique trips I've been on. The scenery is continuously breathtaking and all of the staff and people who work on the island went above and beyond with their hospitality, making sure guests were comfortable and enjoying themselves. The group I arrived with and I had luggage put on one boat and the rest of us gathered into a Duffy for a 5-10 minute ride to the island where we docked inside the big cabin, where we later played pool, ping-pong and enjoyed each others company. Our cabins were clean, with AC, and little amenities like an iron, coffee maker, hair dryer and a comfy bed to sleep in. The lake is only a few minute walk from the cabins any of us stayed in, as well as the middle area where we spent most of our time. The small dining hall provided 3 meals a day and there were so many games for us to play outside on the grass. Badminton, corn hole, footballs to toss, soccer balls, croquette and a chest filled with so much more.There was even a tennis court! There was a dock and little platform in the water you could swim out to, where many of us spent time during the hot day. They also had paddleboards and lots of towels! Some people paddled around the island too! The 2 night stay wasn't nearly enough time lol we all loved this place so much it was like summer camp for adults. Some of us wanted to make a pact that we should have other weddings here for our group because of how much fun we had together. The staff worked tirelessly, from setting up everything, serving food and keeping the drinks flowing amongst all the guests. To the girls at the bar, you ladies were amazing, the couple of blonde girls, the girl with the shorter light brown hair, especially the young lady with the beautiful, dark curly hair and stunningly bright green-blue eyes. A huge thank you to the older gentleman at the bar, one of the younger blonde guys who read our minds when we wondered where the restroom was, Ashton and the guys who drove us to and from the island. I'm so sorry for not getting all your names but just know guys rock and the wedding would not have been the same without each and every one of the staff. I will never forget ya'll. This trip was an absolute dream, I can't wait to come back here someday.

The place is beautiful don't get me wrong. However, it needs a serious make over. I can understand…read morethe charm and rustic feel which adds some character to it, but definitely not a repeat trip for us. The service was not great. The number on their website is a hit or miss. You'd call 5 times to get someone to answer you once. Our room was not appealing. There was dust everywhere and the shower was frigid. The door to go out to a patio like area was not working- it stayed unlocked. You could hear everything in the cabin- ppl voices, foot steps, no courtesy quiet. The food was over priced - the breakfast was blah - hard boiled eggs, yogurt and fruit. If you wanted something more than that it was up for purchase. The only good food was the burger. The ferry schedule wasn't really based on the schedule that was provided. There was no TV in the room. Sad to say for a place with such potential it was seriously lacking . It's not worth the money $300/night for nothing
