Saturday 10/19/2019 Got a room at this motel for a 60th Wedding Anniversary & a 80th Birthday…read moreParty. This is a 3 1/2 hour drive / 220 miles one way trip. On appearance it is a very cute little motel. We checked in with another couple around 3PM. We were given room #108, which had new carpet. You could tell the beds were older and the rest of the room could use an update. We left for the party around 4:30 PM, got back to the Ripple River Motel about 9:15 PM. Crawled into bed about 9:30 PM and made a phone call to our daughter. With the light from my cell phone I happened to catch a bug crawling on my pillow case. When I smashed the bug it was full of blood. It was big enough to see. When we jumped out of the bed and turned the lights on the bed had at least 50 bugs we could see. I took pictures and called the front desk to let them know the bed was infested. We also told her we would be checking out, as would the other couple (3 1/2 Hour drive back home). The front desk manager refunded our money immediately. She also apologized up and down. She told us to come back in a month and the room would be perfect. We have thrown away our luggage & clothes. BEWARE!!

A very well-kept nice resort. They offer a continental breakfast but not during coronavirus times…read more We rented a pontoon and had a blast. It also ran great. The water is crystal clear and the area is very swim friendly. Fishing off the dock isn't very exciting- too shallow and clean. The staff didn't seem to have any answers to any of our questions which was hilarious. All-in-all, a really nice resort. My only real complaint is they don't have private fire pits- just two community ones.

We'd heard really great things about the food here, so we were really looking forward to trying it…read moreout, but unfortunately the experience was all-around bad. Service was pretty rough from the start. Our server was friendly, but they spilled our drinks at the table and then had to take them back because they'd been made with bad milk. It took forever to get the first round and even longer to get the second. You'd think they'd move faster getting us the second round given the first was spilled and made with bad milk! Definitely a missed opportunity to make up for the poor overall service. The bread was the highlight of the night, which is very telling given it was standard crostini bread. That said, it was warm, fresh, and served with delicious butter. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn't live up to that start. The food took far, far, far too long to come out and when it finally did, it didn't all arrive together. Half the table started eating while the other half just sat and watched and continued to wait for their food to come. I thought they brought it out separately to serve things hot, but the food that was first brought out was only lukewarm. I got the steak sandwich, which was fine but pretty bland. Even the sauce couldn't save it... The fries were well-seasoned but soft and floppy, which just made them feel sad and unappealing. I had an espresso martini with dinner and it was basically a chocolate drink with no real espresso flavor. Overall, the setting was fine, but slow service, uneven timing, and subpar food made this a disappointing experience.

Things I love about Gull Four Seasons: the activities - swimming (outdoor and indoor pools are a great option in case it rains. Kids can still swim!), kayaking and paddleboarding with beautiful views on the water, park for young kids, arcade for the older kids, and pickleball/tennis. No shortage of things to do. the staff - very helpful and friendly. Make you feel like you're coming home when you arrive. friendly community that returns year after year (that is a true testament of an excellent experience) and finally - surrounding area is beautiful for biking and running. Can't recommend enough.

We were supposed to stay here for two weeks in unit 61. We got settled in, unpacked & right away,…read morewe started killing spiders . The first night, we killed 4 spiders. The next morning, 5 out of 6 couples woke up complaining about the beds. There were 6 beds in the unit & 5 of them felt like sleeping on a box spring. Some of the pillows were so flat that it was like sleeping on a towel. Then we noticed spider webs all over the unit, some with eggs in them & some with baby spiders crawling. I called the office to complain about the spider infestation we had & was told no one has ever complained about spiders. Dan came in & killed a couple of the huge spiders with a broom & sprayed stuff on 3 base boards. After he left, we took the vacuum cleaner & vacuumed all the spider webs & spiders we could find. By the next morning, we had more spider webs. Long story short, we vacuumed spiders & and cobwebs every day for our entire stay. We had spider webs in our shoes, fishing rod holders & just spiders everywhere. I stopped in the office after we'd been there for 5 nights & still complained about spiders. Again, I was told no one has ever complained about spiders. We left our paid vacation early 4 days early with no refund, but we just couldn't take it anymore. People were getting bit by spiders & the beds were just killing us. The couch in the unit was so uncomfortable, as were the kitchen chairs. Our lawn chairs were more comfortable to sit on than the furniture in the unit. The docks were so high that it was tough to get in & out of the boats from the boat lifts they make you rent. I paid $65 for extra people to stay & was still charged $3 for one set of clean sheets so someone else could use that bed. The unit was so dry that we got nose bleeds, sore throats & the chemicals sprayed stirred up our allergies. After the chemicals were sprayed in the unit, one of our people went home sick. The owners don't care about the people, just the money. I paid $5,600 for a vacation from hell & I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for even my dogs.

Went to the resort only not the restaurant as the prices seemed steeper vs other locations nearby…read more The staff was very friendly with check-in and answering questions. The room was very nice but not very sound proof in the hotel portion as we could hear the guests next door at 1 am partying and vomiting for two hours. The room is very spacious and had a little kitchenette and jacuzzi tub plus deck overlooking the lake which was amazing and made up for the thin walls. The outdoor pool and hot tub are open in the winter and pool is of course heated. The sauna is huge and well maintained.

The view is gorgeous and the resort buildings are nicely renovated. The service was attentive. The food was fine - some things better than others. Cheese curds were good (cubes), walleye fingers were tasty, walleye cakes were dry, artichoke dip was cold like it was from a supermarket (expected it hot), giant pretzel was yummy. Go for the ambiance, go somewhere else for the food.

I ordered a Coors Light with olives and it was served quickly. The servers get vary in their politeness, but it's hard to blame them when the bar is packed.

Overall if you're in the area and in the mood for a meat raffle or a quick bite, I recommend stopping by!

The host couple is wonderfully hospitable, welcoming, and charming. The house is a beautiful and spotlessly clean farmhouse with everything you could need. There are three guest rooms in the main house and one other couple was staying there when we were. We didn't hear a peep from them other than on the stairs, so there was very nice privacy. The Haven Room has one of the best showers I've had in a long time! Most importantly, the breakfast was over-the-top wonderful. Great conversation and delicious food, graciously accommodating one vegetarian and three meat-eaters! The hosts also gave great recommendations for hanging out in nearby towns, and the drive to several nice restaurants was pleasant and only 10 min away or so. We certainly hope to come back and heartily recommend this B and B!

Nothing is fixed, nothing is repaired, and every time we come it falls more This place is a Timeshare Resort of absolute GREED! The hot tubs in the units are completely broken and UN-Usable! This was the very reason we wanted to own a timeshare to have our own hot tub but it's been broken every time we have come for years and now it is completely useless and empty with no water in it! The exact same couch in the living room is the same couch that has been there for over 25 years! The cushions literally sink into the couch when you sit on it! These couches belong in the corner outside with a FREE sign on them for the Squirrels to make a nest out of them! Oh and if you want to sit outside on the porch swing and chairs? Those are gone too! They were replaced by $Dollar Store chairs! So if you want to come for vacation and have zero place to comfortable sit...this is your place! It was 85 degrees out in September and the outdoor pool AND hot tub were closed for absolutely zero reason! It is usually open when we come in September! But NO not anymore! The washer and dryer were out of use! The tiny dollhouse size cups and glasses and old non working kitchen utensils are less than Good Will value. Talk about a DUMP!!!! I am LIVID!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT stay here!!!! A tent is more comfortable or just stay home!

For the living room alone, this place is a solid 5 stars. The sky high ceiling and numerous large…read morewindows let in so much natural light. We were lucky enough to score a unit facing Gull Lake and the forest. The views were the absolute highlight staying here. But taking away a star for several reasons: 1. Both beds could use replacement. They were saggy soft, uncomfortable and challenging to get a good night's rest. 2. All in unit whirlpools were down due to plumbing issues/violations. We were so looking forward to it and bummed out to learn this. 3. We were told our unit would have washer and dryer at time of booking. However, our unit didn't have one at check in and we were told there was no other unit available to swap. 4. We found 6 mouse traps in the unit. Not the greatest thing to see or realize there was a rodent problem. 5. The pool is in a separate building from the sauna. Not even next door. Doesn't make for a convenient walk if you're wanting to enjoy both. 6. Only 1 parking spot per unit. However, we saw numerous units parking in non-designated spots so we followed along.
