    That I didn’t discover it when the kids were little, they would have loved it!

    So cute! Not a cookie cutter place! Fire table outside, pool area very fun and hot tub nice and hot! Check in gal super friendly as was the woman in the morning! Beds super comfortable and rooms clean. A ton of places to eat all within walking distance.

    The power went off about 3am. This was an area wide outage and not the fault of the facility. But, I was surprised there was not a backup generator. My husband sleeps with a cpap, so he was unable to go back to sleep until after the power was restored which took about an hour.

    The pool and hottub were wonderful perks! We also enjoyed sitting outside by the fire pit.

    See anove comments on shower...

    Found a reference to this facility via Trip Advisor. It was the best price and highest rating for the location I needed for an overnight stay. Not being a chain hotel was also an enticement. VERY surprised at the facility upon arrival...the room sparkled clean and smelled the same. Everything worked as expected and the breakfast was by far the best free breakfast I've had with a hotel stay in years. I will make one suggestion...the hardness or softness of the hotel's water makes rinsing off the body wash supplied in the bath difficult...and the wash can make the floor of the shower slick. Friction strips are applied but could be increased.

    Nothing.

    The staff, Cameron, and then his mother the next morning were amazing! They were so hospitable, kind, and helpful! Whenever we passed them, they asked if they could help us. She offered to turn the outside fireplace on when we were sitting there with our coffee in the morning. It was a delight to stay there. Breakfast was excellent...there were so many choices!

    The fitness center is tiny. Treadmill, exercise bike and elliptical plus a single weight bench with a collection of dumbbells. Dumbbell collection was incomplete -- missing the 25 and 35 pounders as I recall. The water dispenser wasn't working and the disinfecting wipes were empty.

    Complimentary breakfast was outstanding. Eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, waffles, cereal, fruit, yogurt. Everything was spread across the lobby in an inviting manner. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

    Good breakfast with hot oatmeal, scrambled eggs and other choices. I found the Wisconsin hunting lodge decor to be refreshing; quite different from usual hotel chain decor. (There are no offensive stuffed prey animals!) Easy parking, and short walk to several restaurants.
