One other person mentioned to just make it a day trip to come here but I think it really depends on your interests. This is a really nice resort that would be much more expensive in a more populated location or easier to get to destination. If you don't golf, they have pontoon boats with a captain you can pay for to explore the surrounding river, kayaks, canoes, atv's, and bikes that you can rent, tennis/basketball on site, walking trails, and a really nice pool and hot tub. There's also a spa but we didn't try that. There's a few waterfalls within 20 minutes for some short hikes but we didn't get to see them. It's a beautiful area but relatively small area without much to do outside of the resort. They also have some winter sport options. If you do golf, the 9 hole course is easy and short. It's pretty well maintained, and if you time it right it's pretty cheap. They have an off-peak $19 nine hole rate for Monday's and can also give you clubs to borrow/rent. Food wise they basically have one nice restaurant and one bar restaurant. They both have stuff for the kids, and the food at breakwaters (the bar) was surprisingly good. I'm not a huge boneless wings fan but the sauce was nice and the Cajun seasoned chip shaped fries were great. We also tried the four seasons burger with the salted caramel sauce which was awesome as well as the classic cheese curd side. We finished it off with a shared slice of rich and delicious chocolate sin cake. The bar also has bands on the weekend (ice cream parlor on site also opens up on the weekends) and it gets very busy here with locals, especially for Packers games. Breakfast was boxed probably due to covid. It was just ok with the sort of pre-packaged items you might expect in a continental breakfast minus a waffle/pancake machine. Coffee wasn't great (pre-ground bag style with watery, weak result) and this part of our stay did not match the rest. The room was very comfortable with large beds and plenty of space. Salt water, heated pool was great for the kids and hot tub perfect for adults. Our kids really enjoyed this and we had the whole place to ourselves. I would recommend coming late summer or early fall as we did although winter could be fun too if it's not too cold. We paid a similar price (sub $200) for the comfort inn in Marquette but this is a better value higher level stay.

Terrible. Most of…read morethe staff - at least 80% - are unhappy, miserable, and not courteous. In fact, the 80% number might be low. From the staff at the check-in counter, to the bartenders, to the persons working the casino floor... these people are terribly unfriendly. The rooms, while clean, lacked adequate sound proofing; throughout the night and day, I could hear people walking in their room from the floor above and I could clearly hear people talking as they walked past my room. The rooms are terrible! The new restaurant in the bar, the Rock 'n' Brew, I believe, was disappointing. Tried some chicken wings, which were flavorful, but the staff screwed up my side order thrice. The first time, my side order arrived with unwanted and unrequested cheese atop it. The waitress apologized and sent it back to the kitchen. The side order returned to my table... COLD! The waitress apologized again, sent it back to the kitchen, and returned with it later. When my broccoli arrived it final time, it was an overheated mash of green; steamed broccoli should retain a small crunch and not be mashed like baby food! The manager visited my table, apologized, and removed the side dish from my bill. I do not recommend the restaurant and I will not patronize it again. The casino floor was... unimpressive. While there were many slot machines, a handful of which were new, there were only a couple of card tables both of which were staffed by miserable persons. There is no roulette. There is no craps table. There is no fun to be had here. Compared to a casino such as the Oneida Casino near Green Bay, this is the worst casino I have visited in Wisconsin. Stay far, far away.

She takes great care of the cabins and always has great suggestions when you ask her about anything local from food to activities. The property is great for walks and there's some horses and donkeys to check out too. Our dogs always feel at home on the ranch. We love to ride ATV trails and Spur of the Moment has trail access. You ride from your front door to anywhere you like in the area, no trailering. On our last trip we brought a side x side and all the great trails permitted our lager machine. All of the meals we ate out we did by riding our machines to and Ann supplied us with maps so we knew where we were going. The trail system has so many local and long distant places to go to it's good for beginners as well as veterans. Last thing that we've always enjoyed is the other guests. The Ranch is not only good to ATV'ers it's VERY horse friendly. On a busy weekend you can have all types of guests and on every trip we've done it's never mattered what you're into, people are just friendly. It's flat out relaxing.

I booked ahead and upon arrival had zero issues checking in. * Christina, the Assistant GM, was very nice. Great service and very upbeat. She made sure she got us our gift bags too which came upon check in. * Christina also made sure that we knew the times of breakfast, check out, and what to do if we wanted to have clean bedding and towels, and how to turn on our mini fridge in our room. * Our room was very nice. We got a king size bed in the newly renovated portion of the hotel - first floor. (See photos) * We appreciated the refreshed bar in the entry way of the hotel which had coffee, hot cocoa, and even popcorn in the evening. 1 star : * We stayed for 3 days, 2 nights. On the 2nd day we made sure we put all our towels together, and bedding too, and let Josh at the front desk know that we wanted housekeeping to refresh our room. This was done at 8:30/9am, to ensure we gave plenty of time for the staff to know what we desired and also followed the exact protocol we were told. ** When we got back to our room later that afternoon, 3pm, no housekeeping had been in our room to refresh it. I went to the desk and talked to Josh again about this and he just said housekeeping had left for the day so we couldn't get our room refreshed. There was no apology and frankly, he didn't care. My husband came to talk to the GM or AGM but Josh said they weren't around and said there's nothing he can do to make things right. So we had no housekeeping and dirty sheets, dirty towels despite following protocol (see photo). *** Was pretty upsetting that nothing was made right to ensure we had a nice stay despite what happened. **** Josh was SUPER unprofessional. He made funny face gestures when speaking on the phone in front of customers and guests waiting to speak with him. He was extremely unkind, lacked customer service, and frankly didn't care how his actions or words affected the situation. It's unfortunate having a staff member like this because it puts a damper on the entire staff and hotel. ***** Fortunately, Christina was amazing and made up for the experience with Josh. She made our stay start off on a great foot and although it ended on a bad note, she was pleasant and kind.

It needed a fan in the bathroom There was a small table and chairs, mini frig and microwave. It could use black out drapes as each room had an outdoor light on all night. I'm glad I had an eye mask or I would've been awake all night. There is a good family restaurant called Family Inn next door. The road noise can be loud at times but we live in Milwaukee by a freeway so we are used to the street noise. The room we had was not very big, the door hit the bed. I should have asked for a double bed room as we would have had more room. It worked for us but I felt cramped.

We had a reservation for 6 people on Saturday prime rib night. They ran out as we were ordering ours. So I ordered the salmon and it was badly over cooked, too much salt and really dry, actually horrible. I told the waitress and she said she would bring me a new salmon. This time it was still dry and also partially under cooked on the thicker side. UGH! Not sure what kind of chefs they have now. The ambiance was nice but the staff were rushing around and the place was loud and difficult to hear your own conversation. Very very disappointing will not be going back.
