We also have relatives nearby that come stay to make it a large family affair. The boys really love this place. The numerous water parks are all great. The arcade area is good for half a day. The food venues are all good and the evening visits for frozen yogurt is a must. Rooms are getting a bit dated but well maintained and more than acceptable for our needs. Plenty of parking. There is so much to do and see in the area, this makes for a great home base location.

We came to Wisconsin on 7/3/26 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. One of the things we got…read moretickets for was the Take Flight experience. We couldn't decide out of the two experience which one to do so we did a double feature. We come into the building on the 4th of July and there is an information desk because the place is loaded with other things to do at the resort. We get to the Take Flight and wait in line until it's time for us to go in. It was a bit of a wait because a group before us had just gone in. We did the Space Flight first. WOW is all I can say! I don't want to give it away but I would recommend the experience. It's full of surprises. We really enjoyed Space Flight. Then we unfortunately had to stand in line again for Wonders of the American West. That wait was even longer. We enjoyed that experience too. We got our pictures taken by a photographer for both experiences and we took advantage of their picture offerings after we were done to remember the experience. The one thing that needs improvement is that you have to be weighed before getting access to the line (which is fine). You have to be less than 325 pounds. There is a red light/green bright circular light on a tall pole right above the scale for everyone to see. It's embarrassing if you step on and it turns red for no entry. That should be moved so only the attendant can see. No one should have anxiety about people seeing if you get a green light or red light. Next we were hungry so we stopped at the Camp Social Burger Bar. Many were hanging out at the bar and the food looked pretty good so we decided to get the Burger BBQ which is an angus beef patty with cheese, bacon and onion strings with bbq sauce. It came with homemade potato chips. Hubby got a pina colada mocktail and they decorated it so pretty with the 4th of July colors and decorations. I must say the burger, chips and the drink were divine. We sat in the seating they have and just chilled which was nice. They have so many other eating places and a candy shop. We really enjoyed our experience there and highly recommend. Thank you Wilderness at the Resort. A+ in our books!

I have been holding off on writing these words for too long…read more Today I'm breaking that silence. Today I just read the first and only review of this place. That was written by a woman about 4 years ago. During better times. As far as the previous owners better times I concur, a very solid 5 stars as well as glowing kind words. As previously experienced her words were spot on and this little motel was very reasonably priced and a fine place to stay. At least I'm certain they properly reflected this lovely property and spoke very well of Linda the woman I got to know beginning around June 2021. That was before. New ownership means new something new to follow. Change is the only thing that always remains the same. Here's new ownerships benefits: * Increased price! * No WiFi / Internet! * AC promptly broke down, during last heat wave! (STILL DOWN!) * Seven surveillance cameras! * BOX ELDERS! More than you can kill! * On Site septic system, overdue for routine maintenance since AUGUST! * Flies outnumber Boxelders 5:1 on warm days! * Even when the new owner assured me this wasn't going to be affecting myself or any of the current residents. I've been renting a room as an office for my small handyman/electrical service business office June 2021. When the internet/WiFi was removed, and an assured promise it's return in a week came and passed, becoming 6 weeks and instead of the WiFi reappearing, a dozen surveillance cameras sprouted up like mushrooms one night. Some appear to be powered, others not. The AC stopped working just as the final Indian summer resurgence of +80F a week ago. All said, this is not likely to be a thing once new owners. Word in the area of small time remodeling/construction companies such as mine is the slumlord LLC that are Bel Aires proud new owners, are owners of at least 4-5 properties in the Madison area. This is more of a preview. Though my words primarily and accurately review my actual experience as a resident for 5 months.

You can use the grills for free and there is plant of space for a group to have a party or to just kick back and relax. Rooms are small, but the beds are comfortable. I had a single king bed and it pretty much took up the entire room. So I would choose this hotel if space is a need. (There is a desk area if you need to do some work). They do allow pets and I heard some barking, even in my room, but nothing at night.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was due to the front desk employee (I forget her name) we came in and went to get water but there were no cups and my husband checked a drawer to get a cup and she yelled at us. A simple "may I help you" would have been nice but she was very rude with us saying they keep personal things in the cabinets and drawers so we can't open them. I think she realized she was being rude and changed her tone after seeing that we were apologizing and being kind. This has nothing to do with the hotel itself and I would still recommend! Just want to add offering free sparkling water is a nice touch! We loved it.

Tamarack Resort is a super scenic and unique destination resort near Mirror Lake that offers a ton…read moreof both accommodations and activities. My family and vacationed there last month and we really enjoyed our stay! I'll start off by talking about lodging. The resort has five main types of lodging. There are cabins, lofts, studios, and lodges of different sizes, which means there'll always be something that suits your specific group. The accommodations are divided into housing "colonies," which makes getting around the resort (and remembering where you're staying) easier. My understanding is that some of the lodges are actually long-term rentals with people living there full-time, while others (like the one my family and I stayed at in the Terrace Colony) are set up for short-term hotel-style stays. My family and I came to the Wisconsin Dells area for a weekend retreat, and this was the definitely a great way to get us outdoors. This is an "outdoorsy" resort, so there's outdoor activities for all ages. Guests can rent electric bikes to explore the surrounding trails, which my parents tried and loved. I actually ended up catching a cold halfway through the trip and couldn't leave the hotel, but I was pleasantly surprised by how peaceful and quiet the surrounding area was. I was expecting a lot of noise from people's outdoor activities, but I ended up actually being able to rest comfortably without being disturbed. Unfortunately, there isn't complimentary breakfast onsite (as far as I know) and the resort doesn't seem to serve other meals either. But there are plenty of great breakfast restaurants in the area to make up for that! The resort also offers a 24/7 self-service laundromat, and (although I didn't try them myself) I believe there are also pools, playgrounds, and other standard hotel-style amenities available. One final thing I would note is that the staff can be pretty strict about check-in and check-out times, so be aware of that and plan accordingly. But overall, I'd say that this cozy, camp-style destination resort has enough lodging and activities available to make it a great fit for any trip.

First off, there is no open attractions for like a whole mile. I mean if you looking for a place to…read moresleep for 1 night this place might be O.K. But if your sleeping here longer, this won't do the trick. The rooms were way to small and there was no heater when we needed it. This motel is terrible and I'm glad I found another place to stay than this place. The rooms look nothing like they were on the internet. They should probably close down and think of making the rooms more fancy and less cramped. But the service is pretty good which is why I gave it 2 stars.

I'm rating this entirely based on the cheap rates. I would never plan to stay here and definitely…read morenot plan a vacation here (my friends call me fancy because of my affinity for nice hotels)...BUT, when severe thunderstorms threatened our tents at nearby Mirror Lake State Park and we packed up and fled in the night....this place hit the spot. Close. Cheap and Dogs Allowed! I rolled in around 11:00 on a Saturday night desperate for a place to sleep - a single room was only $60 and a friend joined me so we split a double for $70. You get what you get for that price - bad sheets and the kind of shower you wear your flip flops into. No toiletries provided other than soap. The outdoor pool actually didn't look too bad. So, if you are reading this because you are driving through a rain/snow-storm and are seeking shelter, this will do. If you are online researching a future trip, you can do better (unless you are a total tightwad who won't spend more than $100 on a room)

An interesting story goes along with this modestly sized design by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Seth…read morePeterson Cottage is nestled in a Wisconsin woodland, overlooking Mirror Lake, as a part of the Mirror Lake State Park. The history of the cottage reads like a Shakespearean tragedy, although it does have a happy conclusion. Seth Peterson was born in Black Earth, Wisconsin, not far from Frank Lloyd Wright's hometown of Richland Center, Wisconsin. Peterson was a great admirer of FLW, he would even ride the train to Oak Park to walk the streets to study the great man's works. He went so far to apply to Taliesin as an apprentice but there was no room for him. After a hitch in the army, Peterson became one of the first computer operators for the State of Wisconsin. He bought a plot of land on Mirror Lake and began to bug FLW to design a home for him and his bride. Wright always brushed him off because of workload. Peterson, though, knowing Wright was always short of cash, shrewdly sent him a check for $1,000.00 that Wright immediately cashed. FLW was then obligated to design the house Peterson wanted for his Mirror Lake property. The cottage reflects FLW's philosophy that a building should be a part of the land. Flagstones lead up to the door and continue into the house as the floor. The flying roof opens a marvelous view of nature and the cottage feels much larger than its 880 square feet. Wright died before construction of the cottage was completed. Sadly, the untimely death of Seth Peterson, at the age of 24, also occurred before the cottage was completed. In 1966, the State of Wisconsin bought up land around Mirror Lake for a state park and the cottage was a part of the purchase. With no purpose, the cottage was declared superfluous and boarded up. The years were not kind to the cottage. In 1989, a group of local enthusiasts formed the Set Peterson Cottage Conservancy in 1989 for the express purpose of preserving the structure. The Conservancy signed a 15-year renewable lease with the Department of Natural Resources, which oversees the state park system. To help defer the cost overruns, and to make the cottage a self-supporting entity, the cottage is available for rent, one of several Wright properties you can stay in but it is usually fully booked years in advance. It is not a resort or traditional hotel, there is no television, no radio, and no WiFi. You stay there to honor FLW and appreciate his interaction with nature. The cottage is open to tours, for a nominal fee, on the second Sunday of each month.

Let's get this straight, the building is wonderful. It is the ONLY place to rent a FLW building…read more That alone makes it a gem. Now for the business end, the building has a two year wait and is not cheap per night. Therefore I was expecting at least basic facilities for the price point. There is little more than a few cooking supplies, dishes, sheets for the bed and towels. To call it scarce would be generous. It could use some decorating, period pictures show some great ways to make it comfortable. The furniture was build during the remodel and was 'Frank inspired'. It sucks. The most uncomfortable furniture I have ever used. This place could be an absolute pleasure. Too many things make it miss that mark.
