Just a quick overnight stay while visiting family in the area. It felt like we were in a big log cabin - loved that! Rooms were clean and very large! Great if you had kids (which we did not). Breakfast was a lot of donuts, muffins and fresh make-your-own waffles - nothing too healthy. Front desk staff is hard to find in the morning due to breakfast. Just had to leave my key on the counter as I waited 20 minutes and no one came. But overall a great place to stay and would be even better for those with kids.

Martha, Appleton

It is a lovely hotel with a spectacular log entrance, rustic pub, swim area, coffee shop (with Starbucks). Staff was friendly. We stayed only 1 night in a standard double. It was clean but awkwardly designed (and when peeking in other standard rooms being cleaned, all were the same). The bathroom (shower,tub, toilet only) was so tiny as to be difficult to navigate. It was totally inaccessible - hard to move, deep tub/ no handbar. Sink was in bedroom space. The couch in the bedroom was next to TV facing the opposite wall so no way to. Watch TV except in bed. So despite being a nice looking room, not particularly comfortable.
