These traditional "up north" cabins are clean, cozy and organized to cover all basic needs: pillows/ blankets/linens, towels, wood and a fire pit, a charcoal grill, (my cabin had ) a wonderful screen porch, shower, basic cooking/baking, cleaning and first aid supplies and a binder containing information about the resort and local area. The neighboring Wisconsin State hiking and biking trails, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, swing set, fish cleaning station, free internet, wildlife and incredible views provide the backdrop for a fun, relaxing Vacation. This family ran resort has it all as well as personality and a long valuable history with the area.

As retirees, we want to travel a bit more. I was satisfied that I could find a room in a motel that…read morewas rated well among customers. I thought it was pretty nice that, on the day before the stay, they sent me several text messages about how to get to our room: directions from the main desk, the combinations to the digital locks and how to use them, and they even sent me a picture of the room's door. The outside of the hotel looked clean and might have had a recent remodel. There was no professional landscaping, but I didn't expect to see any, either. It became clear immediately that those text messages were worth saving. There is a digital combination lock for the main door and the same combination for the door leading up to our room. There was no one at the main desk, which I thought was odd. Our room's door was missing the trim around it (I was told via text that the digital lock is new, so I assume that the whole door is new, too?). Our room was located on the second floor - the only room on the second floor. The only way to get there was to navigate the narrow hallway then climb some stairs that were slightly steeper than standard. Because we are retirees and my wife's knees have been surgically replaced, the steepness made it difficult to get to our room. When I got to the top of the stairs I could see that there is a non-zero probability of accidentally falling down the stairs as there is no door or gate at the top. Nevertheless, the room looked spacious and cozy. The bedroom was comfortable and well set up. It was roomy, had comfy chairs, a day beef in addition to the king bed, a coffee bar, and a TV which we didn't use. It looks like they spent most of their remodeling money on the bathroom. It's very nice and big (see pics). The bedroom's and hallway's carpeted areas don't feel like they're well-padded. Our picture window looks out over a lake with loads of lilypads and a deck. We got lucky and saw three deer (a doe and two fawns). If you don't like interacting with humans, you don't have to. We did online booking, got our keys (digital combinations) via text message, and left without seeing anyone. I wonder how long it would have taken to get assistance if we needed it. In sum, we would not stay at this motel in the future. For younger persons with good knees, this would be a good choice.

Nothing fancy, but you know instead of anything fancy, I prefer the LARGE backyard with shade trees, open sunny areas and the picnic table in back and side/front yards. I think there's a gas grill out back - for guests to use ?? Room has window in front and back (in bathroom) that overlooks backyard. Seems like backyard would be great place to send kids out to play (we dont have any) and you could watch through window. I think there was a sandbox?? Just make sure they are reasonably behaved - owner seemed to maybe be a bit fussy if something was broken or obnoxious kids disturbed other guests. Furnishings were dated (80's/90's) but completely functional and not beat up or wobbly or anything. Desk, 2 chairs, small 2 drawer dresser/TV bedside table and 2nd 2 drawer bedside between beds. Beds were nicely firm and bedspreads unusually pretty for motel/hotel in deep red floral pattern, she said they were brand new. Owners seem to be very conscious about making sure everything works and that guests have a good stay. Ex: They keep a box of spare TV remotes in case one breaks. Ex: she asked if we would prefer a soft or firm bed and offered to show us room before we decided to stay. Smallest motel room I've ever stayed in (a small B+B room had this one beat). Was a bit cozy for 3 adults, but we managed to make dinner (tacos of precooked chicken with all the veggie fixings chopped in room) and packed lunch for next day (sandwiches with all fixings prepped onsite too). Note;: only table/ workspace is the small desk. But we managed w/out trouble. Our room didn't have microwave or fridge, not sure if other rooms have one? Didn't matter - we had a cooler and they offered ice. They probably would have re-froze our icepacks in their home unit fridge if we asked. Owners (Russ and .... Jean?) are very chatty and witty. Happy to provide info like where the 'Scheers Lumberjack Show" is and where grocery stores are, hours etc. Abit pricey, especially considering no fridge or micro, but not pricy considering it's 'high season'. Our room was $79. Very nice stay and I would recommend.

I've stayed on spider, clear and rest lakes but this is the best so far, the cabins are clean and well maintained, somewhat rustic due to the lack of a/c and TV, but hey that's what we come here for. The family that owns the resort sends us a Christmas letter every year to keep us updated on the happenings around town and they are always available to help guests out when needed around the resort. Included in the price of your cabin you get a very nice aluminum row boat and in case you don't have an engine or boat you brought with, outboard engines are available to rent at a fair and reasonable price to get you going around the lake. Wild rice is the perfect lake for a vacationing family because it is never crowded and due to the fact the local indian reservation owns 75 percent of the frontage on the lake it is always quiet with little to no boat traffic, great for skiing and water fishing. I definitely recommend this resort for families wanting a relaxing escape but also priced reasonably enough for any group of friends seeking a get away. Book early! Reservations sometimes fill up a year in advance and they have been in business since the 40's!
