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 took two 14-year-old boys on a Friday afternoon and they had both "been on everything multiple times" within 30 minutes. We stayed about 1.5 hours total. Regardless, the price is cheap (and you can get a $1 off per person coupon on their website), and it's a great way to cool off on a hot day.

It is an older water park with only a few slides, but it is so much fun! The big steep slide was pretty scary but we loved it. Steve was there to great us as we arrived and it was clear he loves this place. It reminded me of the water park on the movie The Way Way Back. Keep your expectations in check and enjoy everything this park is, without demanding it to be more.

One person might work two rides going back and forth but we never felt like things were not running smoothly. It was VERY clean and kept up. The food was good (just prepare to wait a bit). The giant Paul Bunyan at the entrance was a huge hit. Our four year old enjoyed the rides and we really liked walking around the back area of the park where the models and antiques were. We spent four hours here and thought it was well worth the admission price.
