Our initial stay was 2 nights for our wedding anniversary which was over Thanksgiving; this…read moreextended over to 4 nights. My wife is disabled and travels with a small service dog who is always vested, carries an ID card, and is registered and certified; this was noted in our online booking. This was our first stay at any B&B of *any* size; in the past two years we've spent 36 nights at hotels both independent and branded. The room we stayed in, the Moose Room, is very well-equipped with exquisite attention to detail. The bed was pleasure to sleep in and had the most comfortable sheets we've ever encountered in a hotel room. A two-person Kohler whirlpool tub is in the main room. We were astounded at how quickly the tub filled and we were never short of hot water. The shower has a very inexpensive nozzle on it; a removable or rainfall style showerhead would be more befitting the quality of the rest of the room. I can say that Tausheck's is an extremely high quality facility with extreme attention to detail and very comfortable rooms. The Tausheck's should be commended for the quality of the B&B. Unfortunately, I can't say we will be back since we now know that this isn't the type of place for us given our unique situation, which probably doesn't apply to you. If you're a couple looking for a romantic getaway in the "greater Sheboygan" area, I'd highly recommend Tausheck's and think you'd have a great time there. --postscript-- My previous review (which I edited and have subsequently raised the rating to three stars) dealt with some exchanges with the innkeepers specific to accommodating my spouse's service dog. Given that this was the first time that the innkeepers dealt with a service dog in their 12 years of existence, they did accommodate us the best they could with the knowledge they had at the time. We learned after our stay that inns of this size are exempt from the Americans with Disabilities Act as there are 5 or fewer rooms - see 28 C.F.R. § 36.104. This wasn't known to us, or the innkeepers at the time of our stay, so it's unfair for me to dive into the specifics. That being said, I hope that the B&B's web site is revised to reflect this so that any other guests having a similar situation to ours are aware in advance and can make the appropriate decision.

The staff is incredibly thoughtful and always goes the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Interesting anecdote to give you an idea of how great Hayes Resort is: I took my family on a Disney Cruise through the Caribbean last spring and we went to Hayes Resort for a week in the summer. When my seven year old was asked to write a report upon returning to school about the most fun she'd that year, she chose to write about her time at Hayes Resort. Seriously, my kids would rather go to Hayes Resort than go on a Disney Cruise.

They are making so many changes! The former owners let the place get so rundown. There are 5 cabins that currently being renovated, and a bunch of year-round trailers. A beach and a bar, as well! It will take some time, however. These new owners are really exciting to be around. We wish them well and we will see them very soon! Change is good.

Everything had been booked prior to reading the other review so we were a bit worried on arrival.. Yes. It is a trailer park with cabins. Yes. It doesn't allow dogs on the beach. There IS a photo of a cabin on their website. Also, I will post some pics of mine if Yelp lets me. I was called when my deposit was received. I was thanked and told my receipt was on it's way. this was true. The cabins/cottages are small and cute. They are not luxurious but have everything you need. It is a cottage on a pretty lake! For $80 per night, totally worth it. The owners and the locals are very friendly and helpful. We spend lots of time in the bar learning about the local area and hikes and such. Yep, there is a bar. It has a pool table and a tv for sports etc. No tap beers, just cans. (super cheap compared to Chicago). They have a pizza oven too. If anything, I would recommend this place for the people who run it. They have had it for 26 years and seemed to me like they would do anything to help out anyone there. I wish people would write more good reviews. It is such a shame that one angry lady had the only review, deterring people from visiting here.

I just can't believe I've worked for the school and I'm just now experiencing this beautiful and relaxing little spot. Camp staff and counselors are absolutely amazing! There are families that have been coming to this camp for decades. The Camp has cottages, cabins, rustic cabins, an inn and an annex building for stays ... which all have different amenities and features; the stay also includes all three meals. The camp is currently open for eight weeks in the summer which includes a college camp and family camp. There are several different activities for kids and adults to do but my favorite is being out on the lake!

I must start this with a disclaimer. I'm now 68 and attended this camp as a child age 10 through…read more16. Back then the only session was one 8-week period from late June through mid-August. Being born in July, I had 8 birthdays with fellow campers. The idea of being a family camp has evolved since I was there. We met in Bloomington to board a bus after hugs and kisses to the family. Some campers were apprehensive about their first separation from family. But most of us were excited. Parents were tearful or rejoicing at the peaceful summer ahead! The belongings on our required list were sent ahead in one foot locker two weeks earlier. I remember Mom cutting name tags and sewing them into all of my clothes, sleeping bag, and every piece of linen then marking anything else with a black sharpie. Laundry would never have been possible otherwise. When we arrived, everything was unpacked and put on a labeled shelf or in the foot locker. Valuables were left at home so any loss was minor, especially since we all worked off the same list. If counselors found at risk items, they labeled and locked them in the office, notifying the parents by mail. All was returned when we boarded the bus to leave. My first vivid memory is the extremely cold lake in late June. We would bob up and down until we were acclimated to the water temperature. Then magic came in mid-July that seemed to heat the lake quickly. By August it was like bath water, except for the deeper areas which stayed cool year-round. Our counselor told us there were 90 ft deep parts and thus it was important to stay within the roped off swim area. We were subjected to sob stories of how they arrived 2 weeks early and clean out all of the winter overgrowth in the shallow areas with complaints of colder water. (they were all health & PE majors at IU) I had several years of past swimming lessons, and was quite the fish, but had never learned to dive. It took most my first year before one the big male counselors stood by me to coax me in. He said just fall in with my hands over my head as I leaned over the dock edge. After 3 failed attempts of entering the water feet first each time, this guy just grabbed my feet as I was slipping off the dock and down I went head first. That's all it took to get me started. By the next year I was diving off the float's high dive! There were so many things we did each year. Some repeats and many new. I remember one very young camper that was mesmerized by seeing a live calving at the farm just a short walk down the shore from us. We were shown how to make cheese and even got samples. That was a big hit every year. The farm owners were fabulous and really loved having us all running around their place all afternoon. We played soccer, kick ball, red rover, tennis, had field competitions, made lanyards and sooo many other arts and crafts on inclement days when we all whined about no afternoon swim session. Evenings were filled with things like charades where campers dressed up like a familiar song and counselors would try to guess it. I did "Take a Letter Maria" by wearing a very long T-shirt, belting it like a dress, putting a Maria name tag on and entering with a pad and pen. I mocked opening a door to my boss, sat in a chair, crossed my legs and posed in the ready position to take short hand on a steno pad. We had campfire cook outs, & tons of singing after eating. We learned how to make a fire...no matches, before cooking. And the importance of making sure the fire was completely out...without water. All above was done on camp property. Two weekends of each 8-week session we loaded up the bus and truck with two days' worth of food, tents, sleeping gear and cloths then went up to Lake Michigan. That was superb because there were waves! And you couldn't see any land across the lake. It was the largest body of water I had ever seen. Of course, we practiced what we had learned from the cook outs. We also had day trips to Sheboygan for shopping. And I don't know how long the walk was from camp into Elkhart by skirting the lake's shore, but again we went shopping. (Which, by the way, consisted mostly consisted of candy and trinkets.) A letter home was admission to Sunday dinner. Every day started with revelry calling us to say the Pledge of Allegiance around the Red, White & Blue. Some parents came to the hotel at various times during our session. Near the end, on two different years I even stayed an extra week with my folks. So much more, but I'm running out of space. One memory I did not have was any camper leaving with severe injuries or illness. That's because we had a great camp nurse. (& I graduated nursing school 8 years later) By now you can tell that Brosius was definitely the biggest high light of my childhood. And I do apologize that all my pictures were lost in a flood while in college. So sorry I could not post any of the fabulous pics I took.
