Well it's a new review for an older experience…read more Back in September of 2017 my nephew and I biked from the twin cities down to Madison staying in hotels along the way. Reedsburg was our last night so we preferred to stay somewhere nice. We were greeted warmly by our hosts Lorraine & Neil who let us park the bikes in their garage and let us know where we could get some food in town. After a nice dinner we went back to the clean and nice rooms and talked with our hosts about what we'd like for breakfast. I remember a great blueberry cobbler and some (homemade?) yogurt. Our hosts gave us some good insights on the road ahead and we rode on down through Baraboo, past Devils lake in into Madison. I'd definitely repeat the ride and particularly the stay here.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 days during our recent trip to Wisconsin, and I have to say that I…read moream SO glad we did! First, its an absolutely charming house in a quaint little town. All the rooms (of which there are 4) are of good size, but only 2 have their own bathroom. The other 2 have to share, which isn't that much of a hassle in this kind of place, really. Unless you are really picky. The owners/operators are a super nice married couple who really go out of their way to make you feel at home. The breakfasts they serve are nothing short of spectacular and delicious without being froo-froo. Usually 4 courses, and all were excelent every meal. We always left the house nice and full! I also should mention that this place is pretty well located for quite a few tourist spots around the area, including the dells, house on the rock, taliesin, and a few others. Highly, highly reccomended!!

My family has come here multiple times, and it's always a blast. However, there were many things…read morethat weren't so great. First, when we went to the bath house, the showers were disgusting. The shower heads either didn't work or worked very poorly. Next, at the same time, the wave pool didn't work, the hot tub was off limits, and the splash park area wasn't allowed. My entire stay, the wave pool still didn't work. It wasn't slow. We were told that they were missing a part that made the waves. In general, the place was messier than I expected. I still had a great time, but I hope these issues improve.

Disappointing Experience: Not the Quality We Expected I am…read morewriting this review because my family has been coming to Jellystone for years, and this is the first time I have ever felt the need to lodge a formal complaint. Unfortunately, our recent stay was so disappointing that I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this location to others. We didn't have many issues at our cabin. We did find various pieces of garbage around the yard, and there was visible black mold in our shower. We are used to this at Jellystone and overlook it as we are camping and "roughing it". The pool area was in a concerning state. The wave pool was completely non-functional. When we inquired, we were told the pump was broken and they were waiting on parts. The lazy river, which is connected to the wave pool, was extremely slow and dirty, leading us to wonder if the circulation issues were due to the broken pump--and, more importantly, whether the water was actually safe to be in. To make matters worse, the adjacent splash pad was so filthy that my children initially thought it was closed for the season. The most frustrating part of our trip, however, was the golf cart rental. We paid $85 a day, but the cart was essentially unusable for most of our stay. Despite plugging it in carefully overnight, the battery light was flashing on our drive to the pool the next morning. We plugged it in at the pool, but the light was flashing again shortly after we started riding around the park later, forcing us to cut our ride short. The issue persisted throughout our stay. Even after charging it again and attempting to use it, the battery light would come on immediately. We ended up having to push the cart up a hill to get it back to our cabin. When we turned the cart in, we asked for a partial refund due to our inability to use the service we paid for. The front desk staff suggested we were likely having electrical issues at our cabin, yet they refused to provide any refund. They claimed we should have called an after-hours line, which we were unaware of. When I mentioned our history as long-time guests, a rude man with gauges in his ears dismissively said, "You've stayed here many times and didn't know to call the courtesy line? Buh-bye." We have always enjoyed our past visits, but the lack of basic maintenance and the patronizing, unhelpful customer service we received this time are unacceptable. Do better, Jellystone.

If you don't have the time to drive all the way to the Northwoods, you can still have a fantastic view of a beautiful lake, paddle around in a kayak or rent a pontoon, cook out, throw a frisbee, or borrow bicycles and ride into Stoughton (Norwegian bakery!). You can eat at Halverson's, a short walk down the road, and drink too many Old Fashions and walk back to the resort. Their food is great in the old Wisconsin way. You can come by boat or bicycle with a little planning and make a mini-adventure out of it. There are three tiny but efficient cottages and a small, medium, and large guest house. We got Cottage #1 (the one in the photo up on the hill). The cottage has a tiny but full bath and a bedroom. Naturally, you'll spend most of your time on that patio with the awesome view of Lake Kegonsa. The manager Frank is an outstanding fellow who keeps everything immaculate. He also rehabbed all these units so he must be quite a craftsman as well. He went the extra mile for us on a couple of accounts. So 5 stars for accommodations, 5 stars for service, and 5 stars for value.

I was looking for the perfect getaway for my boyfriends birthday when I stumbled upon this place. Lake Kegonsa was never a lake I had heard of until now and boy let me tell you I'm glad I did. This lake is stunning and the views you get of it from these cabins are unreal. It's breath taking to watch the sun rise over the lake in the early morning. Cabin number 2 was our choice for the weekend. The prices were very responsible especially for all the cabin had to offer. It was fully stocked with anything and everything you may need. Don't let the pictures on the website fool you, these cabins are completely updated. New appliances, new TV's and very comfy beds. Lastly, Frank the owner of the property, was very kind and inviting. When we first arrived there he greeted us with open arms at 6pm. Which was very nice because many places offices close at 5pm and he was there all ready for us at 6. He keeps the properties very tidy and presentable. Don't sleep on this place, it's not one that should be missed!!

The table itself was good, by a window, but the floor under it was gross, with food and crayons and stuff. They sprayed the table top with bleach before seating us, if you can believe that, yum. The food was passable but bland. The salad bar was super-unlit, perhaps so you didn't notice how the salad stuff was getting mixed together. The old fashioneds were good. I liked the clam chowder although it was a little salty. After our comments they did try to accommodate us a little. Next time I think we will try another place for fish fry.

Besides for rentals, there are people who own in Burhops, which gives the whole place a neighborhood feel. You can dock your boat here, or rent a boat for the day. We usually stick with the swimming area and sand-box for the kids. Plus there's a cute little park across the street and a couple of little restaurants that are walking-distance away. Keep in mind, this is not a "resort." It's a small, off-the-beaten-path, cabin rental. But if that's what you're looking for, it's the absolute cutest off-the-beaten-path, cabin rental you could ask for!

There are a lot of activities around the site as well volleyball, playset, horseshoes, custom made basketball hot shot and our favorite, sitting around a nice bonfire and seeing all the stars.

Dave and Trudy are such warm and helpful hosts, making you feel so cared for and pampered. The Inn is so beautiful and immaculately clean with a view you never get tired of. We stayed in the Birds Nest room which was just perfect for us. Amazing view, comfortable bed, tub with spa jets, separate toilet room and two sinks - just perfect! Trudy is an amazing chef and Dave is the friendliest server at breakfast, serving up fresh baked goods, yogurt/granola, juice/coffee/artesian water, fresh fruit of many varieties, and the most delicious and lovely presentation for main courses. We were so impressed with every breakfast. At 5:30 pm every evening, Dave hosts "happy hour" in the Indigo Lounge, where you can sit at the bar, take in the view and enjoy some fine wine and a really delicious charcuterie plate put together by Trudy. Dave is great to talk to and has so many recommendations for the area. We took most of his recommendations for what to eat and drink at restaurants and were not disappointed! The grounds are beautifully manicured with so many trails and an outdoor spa (which we enjoyed a couple times while again taking in the view) and there is a sauna and exercise area inside too. We would love to come back and enjoy Dave and Trudy's amazing hospitality.

I did not expect the owners to treat me and my wife like honored guests in their own home, but that's how it is. Very interesting husband and wife team who are very skilled at making a rich experience and tailoring the visit to your interests. The coolest part of the stay for me were the happy hours that Dave hosted. We had a lot of fun swapping stories with Dave and other guests who were also up for some good drinks. Breakfast was also pretty awesome. The manor is a beautiful campus that exceeds the verbal description and pictures. Lots of richness in the back story can be gleaned from conversation with Dave. To be honest, we werent looking for a bed and breakfast or a resort like retreat since we came to do some hiking, do some leaf peeping, and do some tourist stuff with a friend. By the time check out came around, we wished we budgeted more time relaxing at the manor. Definitely plan to book here again next time we do a Wisconsin vacation.
