Located on the south end of town, it's a very quiet area with little traffic and configured so that road noise was not an issue. The staff was very friendly and check in process was smooth.

Went with the family to the seafood buffet at St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake. It opens at 4pm, not…read moresure when it closes. The food was absolutely worth it. Prime rib, crab legs, lots of seafood, great salad bar. At 36 dollars per person with soft drinks included, very fair. Didn't try alcohol, so can't speak to that. But honestly, this is about the people. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, Desiree was on it. She wasn't just taking care of our table, she seemed to be everywhere, checking on guests, clearing tables, helping people, always with a great attitude. She noticed my elderly father was having some difficulty, and without being asked, helped him with his plate, condiments, and getting settled. The rest of the staff was warm and helpful too, including the carver, who was friendly and welcoming. One thing that stood out to me as a guest, we saw a table leave a pretty big mess, and it was a reminder to all of us to make things a little easier on the staff by stacking plates and consolidating where we can. Overall excellent food, outstanding value, but the customer service is what we'll remember. Desiree went above and beyond, and the whole team made our family outing enjoyable. Five stars.

This business should be reported to the BBB!!! All amenities should be working or they should tell you ahead of time! Now I'm out $230. Grrrrr!

I would like to add to my review, I was hoping that under the new management the place would've…read moregotten better but it hasn't. They have more cameras than a county jail but still things are constantly stolen from the parking lot, the manager is nothing but a nosey prick wanting identification of each visitor that walks into the establishment & they're more worried about their damn towels & washclothes then they are their level of service & being helpful to patrons. If there was a way to leave negative stars I WOULD because Steve's an a**h*** that thinks he's funny treating people like garbage.

I've been going there for many years and because I won that jackpot, they banned the 's honest truth. I'm filing a complaint with a Better Business Bureau and I'm getting an attorney involved.

If you enjoy pan-fishing, the Chetek Chain of Lakes can't be beat. Walleye, Northern Pike, and Bass are also plentiful in the lake system. Resort is well kept. and owners are present.

We went on, the two of us, talking pleasantries a bit more, stranger to stranger. I promised I would be there at 9:00 and hung up. The next morning, I was there on time and was greeted by the young woman who recognized my name. "We talked last night. You are our guest today. No charge." Stephanie said. I was dumbfounded and realized that she saw within me something I didn't realize I had revealed--that I needed to be pampered, that I was vulnerable, that I was tired, that I was worried, that I hurt. I had never alluded to any of that over the phone, but she knew. The staff regularly checked on me, the owner especially making certain I was fine, and I was. The brunch was amazing, filled with luscious entrees, a far cry from the normal Northwoods pizza-hamburger venues. I was also able to enjoy watching the young parents with their children, lining up for their eggs and shrimp and everything delightful. I am home now and soon I will be watching a movie--probably a western--that my husband would have liked. I will remember him telling me all about the lives of the actors, how this movie compared to another, how the plots developed. I will remember my folks and wish they were again enjoying the rustic comforts of the cabin. I will remember my caring son and daughter who will call later to see what mischief I have been into. And I will remember the "strangers" who crossed my path today to help point me forward into a journey of hope.

A real accomplishment in today's market where no one wants to work. We will go back!

Since my last review my family has grown and now my toddlers (2 and 3 years older) are along for the week. We have spent each day fishing, going down to the beach, visiting with Helen - the amazing lady that owns Stone Hill Resort - and playing on the playground with the children. The beach and sandy entry to the lake is AWESOME for the kids and the shape and turn of the dock makes a natural swimming area that has a max depth of about 16" making it a PERFECT way to introduce the toddlers to the lake and swimming in it (while you can keep them in an area that is fairly controlled for safety). Stone Hill has a pontoon boat that you can rent for the week (well worth it and SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the in-town rental options). Each cabin unit comes with an aluminum fishing boat. Since I last reviewed Stone Hill they have added direct tv and wifi. It is done in a nice way with nothing rustic being taken away but instead supplemented with these additions. This is the singe BEST vacation rental option in northern Wisconsin, still a slice of old Hayward, WI Resort history and an amazing 5 star experience every time I come.
