We stayed in #101 for 3 nights to attend my cousin's wedding at the boat house pavilion. The…read morelocation can not be beat. It was the best! Less than a block from the "Main Street", and 2 blocks to the Madeline Island ferry line. We awoke to beautiful sunrises in our backyard of Lake Superior. Maybe 20 feet from the water, with nothing in our way but the lovely patio table provided by the condo. We were traveling with my parents, so we opted for the 2 bedroom, 2 bath. The condo was spacious enough where we weren't crowded on top of each other, and had plenty of space. Toiletries are provided, even though the pamphlet said they were not, as was a hairdryer. Kitchen was huge, living room nice, although the tv was on the one and only switched outlet for the living room (issue for parents, not us - we weren't watching it). We thought the beds were hard. We compared it to sleeping on a box spring. Not great, but doable. And the microwave was from 1983, older than the cousin we came to see get married. But it worked! We checked in on Friday early afternoon, and their wireless worked. An hour later it stopped working, and we had a really hard time with the AT&T E network (sloooooooooooooow). Every time I called to the office, all we got was their answering machine. Sure, I could have left a message, but I didn't. My fault I guess, as I figured I'd eventually reach someone. I was wrong, so we never had wifi. Note: This property is managed by The Winfield Inn. All the other relatives who were staying in hotels were jealous of our place. Yeah, it's really nice. I'd stay here again without hesitation.

I enjoyed my stay at the Legendary Waters Resort & Casino. Who doesn't like staying at a casino?…read more There were events and a restaurant on site. I ate at the restaurant multiples and recommended the chicken wrap and the chicken wild rice soup! There are also kayaking spots/tours that you can book right next to the resort and a distillery within walking distance. It is a little outside of Bayfield so be prepared to drive into town.

Although the people at the front desk were very friendly, if my 3 night stay, I asked for the room…read moreto be "made up" ( put knob sin out). It was ignored both days. So I had to go to the front desk to get my coffee refilled, lotion refilled and on the second day I had to bring down the full garbage bags and get new bags and put them in the garbage cans myself. Now I don't really care if the bed is made, and I don't need the towels changed daily, but when you only get 2 coffee pods and there are 2 people in the room it would be nice to have them refilled. The photos on the website are deceiving when it comes to the toiletries, the "standard " toiletries are a body/hair soap dispenser in the shower, no conditioner and a foam hand soup dispenser next to the sink. Casino is very small and not well maintained. Many of the machines were out of service. I was very disappointed in my stay, especially for the price I paid for the room.

We stayed in a one-bedroom unit at Telemark in Cable, Wisconsin for one week in mid-May, 2023…read morethrough an RCI timeshare exchange. Rentals are also available directly through the company. We were very much looking forward to an outdoorsy vacation, as Cable is known as "Trail Town USA". We planned to do some hiking in Wisconsin state parks and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, and perhaps some kayaking in the local lakes. STAFF (4/5). Staff in the office were helpful upon check-in, and answered our questions about activities in the area. Maintenance staff was not particularly helpful when we called after hours with a safety concern. (More on that later). OUR UNIT. (Rating: 3/5). We were assigned to one of the "B" units, which are somewhat less desirable because they feature only a partial kitchen -- the fridge and dishwasher are small, and the stove is only a 2-burner unit. There's no oven, but there is a microwave. Most needed kitchen wear (plates, cups, silver wear, glasses, pots, pans, utensils) was provided but there was limited space for groceries. The living area had a comfortable couch and chair that faced a fireplace (that we didn't use) and tv, and the dining table which separated the living area from the kitchen. There was also a heating and air conditioning unit. (More on that later). There was also a much-appreciated washer and dryer in that area. There was a good-sized bathroom with shelves providing A LOT of storage space for our toiletries and other items. Finally, the bedroom featured a queen-sized bed which, unfortunately, was rather uncomfortable because it was lumpy. There was a good amount of storage space between the dressing and closet. There was an additional tv in the bedroom. One really nice feature was a screened-in porch off the bedroom that had a table and chairs. This overlooked the forest and felt very private. Overall, the unit felt dated and needed some maintenance (window), but it was clean and met our needs. After being in the unit for a day or two, it turned cold and we decided to turn on what we thought was a heater. We couldn't get it to work, so we called maintenance. It turned out that there were only heat sources in the bedroom and in the bathroom. However, the maintenance guy added that he wouldn't trust the bathroom unit! THE RESORT. (1/5). There is significant construction going on at the property. The roads leading to the check-in office were what seemed to be the gravel that is laid before a road is paved. There were numerous construction vehicles. Some prominent buildings (for instance, the Lodge) that had been there have been torn down. There was, however, a fire pit that some neighbors used most evenings. ACTIVITIES. (1/5). These were almost nonexistent. Information for tenants indicated that there were kayaks to be rented that are stored on-lake at a sister property five miles down the road -- but, when we tried to rent these, we were told that they had already been rented out for the full week. A canoe was available to rent, also at the sister property. The resort did not rent bikes but these might be available to rent in Hayward (about 16 miles away). As for nearby hiking, there's a paved path and separately a hike to the top of Mt Telemark on-site, as well as the 100+ kilometer Birkie (cross-country skiing) trail. Downtown Cable has the Cable City Trails. Many state parks and the national forest also feature hikes but many were 45-60+ minutes away. We did the hike up Mt. Telemark and one of the Cable City Trails hikes, and then basically gave up. We were overwhelmed by mosquitoes and, when we got home realized that we were also carrying a large number of ticks. (This was in spite of wearing insect repellent and wearing head nets). For the rest of our vacation, we drove long distances -- to Bayfield, for instance -- to try to enjoy activities that were away from the forest and the mosquitoes. HANDLING OF A SAFETY CONCERN. (0/5). It was dry in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, and we had been passing Smokey the Bear signs that warned of extreme fire risks. As mentioned, the resort had a fire pit that was outside of our kitchen window that neighbors had been using in the evenings for campfires. Before bed, we looked out the window and found that an unattended fire was still crackling and we could still see occasional sparks flying from it. We called after-hours maintenance. At first, the gentleman who answered was unconcerned but then remembered that there were piles of dry raked leaves near the fire pit that could catch fire. He had spoken with those at the fire earlier but didn't know what unit they were in (to ask them to put it out). He couldn't come to extinguish it because he just put his son down to sleep. So, my husband went out into the mosquito-filled darkness at 11 pm to extinguish someone else's fire. Better safe than sorry.
