Siebkens is one of those places that feels like your home away from home. My family has been going for years. I remember the first time we stayed there my son meandered down to the beach to splash around when he was a tiny little thing and it was so tranquil. I knew immediately that this was a place we'd return to again and again. It's just one of those places that feels like you're going back in time to a simpler place. The area around the property is vibrant and alive. Everyone seems happier just being there. Elkhart Lake is such a picturesque little town. Everyone at the resort gets up and takes a morning walk to the shops, the farmer's market, the park, the library, or to get some coffee and breakfast. Part of the charm is you really don't need a car while you're there. Everything is walkable from the resort features themselves to additional dining to a great ice cream spot. The lake is gorgeous and pristine in its beauty. Enjoy time at the beach, the complimentary kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats, or rent a boat in the nearby marina. If you're not a lake person they have a nice pool and, of course, everyone loves a hot tub! Often times there are events in Elkhart Lake on the square around Siebkens or on the property itself. Siebkens is steeped in a rich history of auto racing and is frequented by people in IndyCar and other motorsports including those at the nearby Road America raceway. You can see a lot of pictures and information about racing history at the resort. The food is phenomenal. If you're a grilled cheese connoisseur, and who isn't, then you're going to love Siebkens - but honestly, everything hits. The cheese curds are classic Wisconsin, the baked brie is next-level, and the short rib ragu is the kind of dish you end up thinking about later. Siebkens has a formal dining restaurant in PAM's and a bar with food at the Stop-Inn. PAM's is perfect for a nice, long meal with great food and wine or cocktails. The staff is incredible and really makes it a nice experience. The Stop-Inn is a fantastic bar with darts, pool, and plenty of space to let loose. I've had many a good conversation at that bar. There's always live music on the patio outside the bar and people just having the best time. Bottom line, if your family wants to get away, go to Siebkens. You won't want to leave! read more

If you are into overpriced run down resorts, with snotty help, this is the for you! They act like this place is special, and it is if you are looking for a mediocre dump! read more

A few friends and I stayed at Siebken's recently for a winter girls night. The hotel has two portions, a historic and newer building. We had a room in the newer portion which we were selfishly happy about. It was super bizarre though, when we got to our room it had to have been like 85+ degrees. It was so hot that we had to keep the sliding door open for like an hour. Even the complimentary water bottles were too warm to consider drinking. Super weird but we were able to fix the issue. During our stay we were able to easily walk to the holiday market down the road. We were excited the resort offered complimentary breakfast, but it was very underwhelming. There was very little space and just yogurt and granola and not enough left for our group to all enjoy, and no staff that we could find to ask for more. All in all the place was clean and we got what we needed out of the stay! read more

Siebkens is the most charming place to stay on the lake! This is an iconic historic resort with the comfort of modern amenities. From the lively Tavern at night, to the serene private beach and the charming ambiance of PAM's dining room for dinner. read more

My vintage-loving heart loved staying at Siebkens Resort. Everything was perfectly quaint. I stayed by myself, so I got a room in the older building with smaller rooms. My room was tiny but perfect for me. I could tell that all of the details in the room -- from the armoire to the bathroom tiles -- were well-thought-out and considered. They really put a lot of thought into the furnishings and want their guests to be comfortable. There are small but nice touches everywhere you look: In the shower, they have their own shampoo/soap, with a scent that is heavenly. I found out later that the scent was created just for Siebkens! Breakfast is included with your stay, and includes housemade granola and yogurt, coffee and poppy seed bread. I am not even exaggerating a little bit: the yogurt and granola were some of the best things I ate in Elkhart Lake, and I ate a lot of great things here. I would 100% stay at Siebkens for many reasons, and a big reason is because of the complimentary yogurt and granola! They give you a complimentary adult beverage upon check-in! Way to win me over! There is a tavern on-site (open seasonally), with excellent food. There's a little bar inside, and they have their own cocktails and a great wine menu. The hotel is located in the middle of downtown Elkhart Lake, so it's super walkable to restaurants and activities. There is also a private entrance to the lake, with chairs and a dock reserved just for Siebken guests. One morning, I took my cup of coffee out onto the dock and looked out onto Elkhart Lake, and it was so peaceful. In my little building, there was a nook with a coffee bar and a place to sit and read. There's a pool and hot tub, but I didn't use it because it was cold and rainy when I visited! Siebkens is a vibe, and you have to experience it to understand. This historic hotel is a great place to stay when you're in Elkhart Lake, and I'm glad I was able to be one of its guests! read more

All the employees at Siebkens are wonderful. Just a good hearted staff. The negative for me was our villa and whoever its owner is... it should have been better maintained and more pointed to their renters/ occupants. Our screens were broken and holes in them with ugly tape therefore we couldn't keep the sliding doors open. Tons of paint Chips along the trim. The lighting in all the bedrooms was awful. There was only one little light on the side table so you could barely see even during the day in all the bedrooms. read more

Great burgers! Easy walk. No competition. More words so this is a valid review...helicopter

We just had the best time at our stay at Siebkens! We stayed in a quaint beautiful, comfortable hotel room close to the lake with nice little walk down to a beach. Our kids just loved that! And my wife couldn't resist the fresh morning coffee. The stay was more than just the room, beach, and lake. It was a step almost back into a more ideal time where you could take it slow. Walking around the grounds was so nice and the employees at the food and beverage areas were so welcoming day and night. It made for a whole experience that was a great escape from our daily lives. Our kids loved it as much as we did, and felt as welcome as we did. Beyond the resort, it was so nice to be able to walk into town and enjoy the restaurants and shops. We can't wait to go again soon! read more

We did not dine here, only stayed in the hotel - we were in a little six (?) unit freestanding house type of building across from the office check-in. What a neat place! Very quaint and definitely a little rustic, but rooms were clean, flipped daily, tons of towels, great water pressure, etc. Very walkable if you're in town for lake activities! We were in town for a race so did not spend as much time exploring the town as we wished we could. We would definitely stay here again and maybe add a day or two to our next trip to better enjoy it! read more

We dined in Siebkens Main Dining room last evening and had a delightful time. We arrived around 7 PM (without a reservation) and we were surprised to be warmly welcomed in! Before I forget, I need to mention--Elkhart Lake was hosting their annual, and very popular 3-Day Vintage/Race Car Weekend. . This entire resort Community is filled with locals and many visitors, and race fans. Due to the government's reoccurring pandemic payouts,many businesses across the Country are having difficulty getting staff to work. Siebkens has also suffered this employee shortage. They had only two servers working the entire dining room on Saturday. However, these two servers were the best--very calm, very friendly, and super efficient! Thomas (our waiter) was the greatest! Our meals arrived in a very timely manner and they were absolutely delicious, served piping hot as they should be. My husband and myself both tried the grilled salmon selection, we split a side of broccolini. The portions were generous. I've attached pics below! We definitely are looking forward to dining at Seibkens in the near future! It's an Elkhart Lake treasure! read more

Always a great bar, and big supporters of the Elkhart Lake community. Great live music and atmosphere in the summer.

This is a great resort! The private beach and wonderful accommodations make it perfect for a family getaway. Live bands during the summer and access to all the town has to offer makes this the perfect getaway. read more

Its a good space, nice location and such a great town. the condo units are nice, they have laundry (huge benefit) and their location is 2 blocks from the main strip so that part is great. Their private beach is OK..not great but OK. Its a solid place and we will likely come back. read more

It's a landmark. Best walleye we've seen in a while and shashito peppers! Somewhat limited beer menu and mostly self serve.

Worst meal we ever had. Unless you love salt. Geez. They need to go back to prime rib and real food!

Great little town, nice lake and area. Condos are nice but the Elm Hotel is not good. Needs to be torn down and shouldn't rent these rooms out. read more

Enjoyed a great meal. Opened late on a Sunday night was a special treat after working all weekend at Road America for the IMSA race. Their menu was small and the choices limited, but the food and service was excellent. Shout out to our waiter Thomas for doing a great job with seven hungry and tired people. read more

Our room was HORRIBLE. If your expectations are to have a pleasant night sleep in a clean room then do not stay here. $125 a night for a stinky and MOLDY bathroom, no thermostat in the bedroom (it was 48 degrees at night when I stayed there), no shampoo, a 13 inch tube tv, bricks placed under the bed so it was only slightly slanted toward the wall, loud pounding music until 12:30am from the wedding next door, absolutely no security - whatsoever, no answer from the front desk when calling, and an attitude that is summed up by saying "we don't care". Our only window was an old rotten door that faced the hotel kitchen break area next door where the staff would smoke cigarettes and talk until their shift was over. The floodlights were a nice added bonus keeping your room lit until the wee hours of the morning. But that's OK because there were enough cracks in the plaster walls you could get some outside air that way. My wife complained that the room was terrible, and the front desk girl said "we tell you over the phone this is our oldest building". They did no such thing, and no warning over the phone would have been sufficient for how bad this room was. We had no clue what we were getting into at this hotel, and how bad our stay would be. At no point were we told that we would be staying in "the cottage", and had no idea that we shouldn't expect a good nights sleep for several reasons. Nothing like waking up in the morning with your sinuses stopped up because your bathroom has black mold in it. Siebkens will never see our business again. Do yourself a favor and stay at another Elkhart Lake hotel so that you can enjoy your stay in this quaint WI town. We would have been better off in a tent. read more

A nice old time and new resort! We stayed in the cottage on the lake. The cottage has so many possibilities! First, it needs a full-time handyman, with that, I would gut it and bring it back to its original glory - a lake cottage and rent it at that. The 6 tiny rooms with miss fit doors and laminate floors don't do this old beauty justice. The deck and steps need immediate attention before they totally rot and are dangerous! Again, so many possibilities ... I do hope someone sees the vision and goes for it! read more

After 100 years, Siebkens is under new management. I have always enjoyed dining at Siebkens over the past 50 years. I am pleased to report that the new owners are knocking it out of the park with their food. We ate there tonight and I can tell you the food was fantastic. I had the traditional Siebkens Salad and the pork chop. The chop was perfectly prepared, was served hot and had an extraordinary flavor. It sat on a bed of mashed potatoes that were also very good. My wife had the veggie puffed pastry. Again, perfectly prepared. The service is very good and the owner, Wendy, made a point to stop at every table to greet her guests. Please give Siebkens a try and I know you will not be disappointed. Siebkens, along with The Paddock Club, Lake Street, Lola's On the Lake, Route 67(also new) and the Brown Baer makes Elkhart Lake a foodies dream destination. After dinner we enjoyed some outstanding Baron's Gelato. You can also walk down the street for a delightful experience at Gessert's Ice Cream Parlor. You can check it all out at www.elkhartlake.com.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay here. Everything is outdated and uncomfortable. My bed squeaked and a spring kept me up all night by poking me in the back. My bathroom door didn't shut, my windows rattled and the toilet sang. The floors above and the walls around me croaked and groaned when others in their rooms moved. The staff are night, the grounds are quaint... but for the money I expected more comfortable accommodations and leaving rested. read more

I stayed in the old building during a race at Road America. I stayed on the second floor and it was satisfactory, but our TV was missing and no shampoo was provided in the bathrooms. The beds were comfy (but slightly small) and the air was fresh and not stuffy or smelly. Some friends stayed on the first floor during the same weekend and the heat for the whole first floor was broken so it was about 60 degrees down there. We only payed $65 for the room because it was the off season, so I was not expecting much Staying in an old hotel was kind of cool but I don't think I would pay more than $80 or so for this room read more

Steve helped us get settled in after checking in past the resort closing. He was awesome and the whole staff really cares about your experience. Thank you, Steve and staff. You guys made a difference. We will be back every time we have a race! read more

Dump...I could leave it at that...but as I sit in a place they call their Cottage...which is more like your uncles house where you never wanted to spend the night...I am lucky enough to have a room with twin beds and a bathroom you have to share with others on the second floor. It also has a television fit for a 70's dorm room with two remotes that do not work...I am sure that the house next door...one owned by the family that runs this dump has a tv that works...and a few bathrooms that don't have the linoleum peeling up from the floor...Also there is no wifi in the Cottage...I am sure the house next door has it...Take one of your payments for your vanity plated BMW and do a few things to this place...better yet...tear this shitdump down and extend your empire on the lake...Skip this place and it's folksy people and it's sad rooms... Did I say it's a Dump? read more

Elkhart lake old world charm meets fresh new flavors!! Yay! Dinner at P.A.M.'s was delicious. The shaved vegetable salad was flavorful and a delightful start to the meal. The "chorizo" Tostada was absolutely delicious along with the Spanish octopus. If you want an amazing walleye experience, this is the place to order it. The cocktail menu is equally as exciting as the fantastic food menu. I am excited to come back ASAP! read more

I have stayed at this resort numerous times over the last ten years. Apparently, two years ago it was sold to new owners...who do not give a damn about the upkeep of the resort. I stayed in rm 206 on April 10, 2021. The entrance to the office for check-in was an absolute mess of broken-down old bricks that anyone could be injured on. The new owners installed a nightmare new locking system that took a master's degree to figure out. The room was a mess with towel racks and paper holders falling off the wall. However, much of that was livable until the show. You would think you were taking a shower in a stream of wastewater. The smell was overwhelming and sickening. I was vulgar and gross not to wonder about the health issues. I will not be back and I recommend staying far far away from this so-called resort. It is only fit for livestock. read more

From the second I entered the cob-web covered doors, I felt at home in the old atmosphere of Siebken's Main Dining Room. I was promptly greeted and seated at the best table in the WHOLE dining room by splendid employee, Rachel. My server, Shynaia, was very knowledgable and helpful when I asked her questions about EVERYTHING on the menu, including where the fish are breed and captivated. She also brought me tasty tap water, the best chocolate milk I've ever had in my life, and a fancy basket of bread that took me back to the days spent at grandma's house as a young lad. After weighing out my options and asking about everything on the menu, I finally decided on the PB&J sandwich with the side of gluten-free kettle chips. After a delicious meal, I ordered the chocolate-cherry cake and ate it all, including the walnuts which I'm allergic to, but it was a price I was willing to pay for the delicious dessert. At the end of the meal, I was able to go back into the sanitary kitchen and compliment head chef Chris on his exemplary PB&Jj making skills! Would recommend to family and enemies alike. read more

The Siebkens Resort was absolutely beautiful! We stayed in a three bedroom condo in the newer building and felt like were were in a luxury condo for our stay. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The resort had a nice ambience also. read more

We've been coming here for decades and it looks like most reviews are from the old hotel building. Their condo building is where you need to be. Large condos with huge decks. Comfortable beds, full kitchens, and nice furnishings. They have new owners this year and we're hoping they do some updates. Their dining room is one of the most beautiful spaces in Elkhart and at its prime decades ago was the place to be. There is so much potential in this property. Fingers crossed these new owners get it right. read more

Ate dinner here on PGA weekend and the place was empty. One guy sitting at the bar watching the Packers. That should have been the clue to bail, but we bravely took our seats on the porch. We had visitors from out of town so I wanted them to try the cheese curds. Bad move - they were awful. Our dinners we equally as bad. I paid $3 "extra" for shrimp with my tortellini - I got three (with the tails still on). The only reason I give the experience a two-star rating is because the waitress was pleasant and attentive. Well, we were the only people there. If you are looking for a place to eat in the Elkhart Lake area, Siebkens isn't it. read more

The resort is not a resort its a run down motel dont be fooled by the outdated pictures. The floors & walls are thin so getting a restful nite sleep is out of the question. The beds are hard it's like sleeping on bricks. When I asked for a mattress pad I was told the mattresses were new & i was offered an additional blanket. The mattresses are probably new & cheap. The room was cold you cant control your own heat. It's an awful place even if it's the last choice don't choose it. I thought since it was only a couple of days it would be ok but no. Awful. read more

Just spent the weekend there. Had a beautiful one BR condo for an amazing price. I know we were there off season - but seriously - no one even answered the phone after 5pm on Saturday, We left a message and no one returned the call by the time we left on Monday morning. Had there been a real need or emergency? Well whatever - not my business I guess. Also, the young lady that checked us in on Saturday had zero personality to be working in the HOSPITALITY industry. Just plain uninterested. I dont think it would have harmed her to have tried to smile or to pretend to be welcoming. The property is lovely - and we had a great room rate - but we wont return. read more

OK so as indycar announced RA on the schedule for next year, I started looking for rooms....lots booked already. I sent an email to Siebkins asking about rates.......well we don't accept reservations until Jan 1st and cannot give a rate as rates may change, however give us you name and we will take a request for you. So I responded with my name and number and this was their reply.....WE will start taking room reservations for 2016 as of January 1st. Feel free to call us then....anyone else think this is kinda rude? I already booked a room and 'WON'T be calling them. After reading the reviews on here....I am so glad!!! read more

I have been all over the state and this place is the worst hotel I have ever been in...in my life. Besides getting no sleep because the walls are paper thin and our blinds didn't close AND there was no thermostat in the room...that was the good part. No fan in the bathroom, no vanity, the TV was an 8" screen, the stairways were dark, steep and narrow. But the absolutely worst part of all was no coffee in the morning, ANYWHERE...not even in the office! The worker told me there was a coffee shop three blocks down. OH, I almost forgot - 150.00 per night! It should have been 50.00 A TOTAL waste. The older building I was in (Room 50) should be torn down... My next step? I want my money back - at least half of it read more
