Lakewoods Resort

I've been impressed with the food here for some time now. The fish fry on Friday is excellent, even the baked fish. They also have chicken tenders on the Friday menu. Drinks are well done. Try the mushrooms or walleye fingers for an appetizer.

I just returned from a four day fishing trip and I stayed at Lakewoods Resort. I stayed in Cabin 631 (I believe) with six other guys. The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms appeared to be recently updated. There was plenty of hot water for showers- no complaints from the other guys. I ate several meals at the Lodge and the food was piping hot and DELICIOUS!!! I also rented a fishing boat from the marina and Bob was EXTREMELY helpful in taking the time to show me all the functions of the boat. Olivia was awesome too when it came time to return the boat. I can't wait till next October to stay here again!!!!!

Staying at another local resort, we came here several times over a three day snowmobile trip for breakfast and dinners. Everything real good. Beautiful property and excellent staff.

It certainly has the northern WI woodsy feel! Stayed here a couple nights ago. Quite rustic but nice. Don't expect cell phone service if you come here, because you're not gonna find it. You can find Wi-Fi if you stand in a corner of the lobby and tilt your head at the correct angle.That said, it's a very pretty place. I had a room next to the pool. What is it about me that attracts rooms next to the pool? Perhaps because I love the sound of children screaming until 11 at night? OK, maybe not so much. However, I will say the way the room was laid out buffered the pool noise very well. The bed is actually at the back of the room, and there is a sliding glass door that opens out to the lake. Quite a lovely view, and not that noisy.

Went here for fish fry one night of our trip. Great food and service! Delicious drinks on the patio and great lake view!

I wanted to like this place. Lots of great reviews. The lodge rooms are in desperate need of a makeover. It's extremely loud at night with kids screaming and running around til 11pm. So don't stay in one of those rooms unless you like loud, old rooms that smell like an extremely old library and humid chlorine. The staff could have been nicer. God forbid we asked for extra towels or toilet paper. And there is no daily cleaning service so we kinda needed extra towels and TP. Dining was very SLOW. We waited about an hour and 45 for food. The cheese curds were pretty good though and the waitress was nice. The boat we rented for 2 days for $560 was disgusting. Very old, dirty and falling apart. Really disappointed in that since we spent a lot of money on it.But the overall outdoor appearance of the place was very nice and inviting. I just wish they updated it. It needs it VERY bad.

I had reservations last year for the snowmobile drag- races. I had put a deposit ($131) down a few months before the event. Unfortunately, it was canceled, and I was not given an option for a refund only to transfer the deposit to the next year. I called a couple weeks ago to check on my reservation and had said I would need to adjust the dates a bit. I would call back and let them know. I called back last Wednesday (February 5th) to make the adjustments, and the lady said "your room has been cancelled" I could not believe what I just heard. I was told I would receive a call that day. I did not get a call back. I called Thursday again and was assured I would get a call back. I did not. I called Friday and asked for Ken and he had no answers for me. He said he would get back to me by Saturday. No call back. Now I'm very upset! They said they emailed me. I no longer use that email and have been slowly transferring to a new email. I have had a deposit on this room for over a year. Why was I not called to confirm before it was just cancelled and given to someone else? I told Ken that the right thing to do is to call the people that got my room and explain the situation and give the room back to us. I have been preparing for this trip for months! The general manager finally called the following Monday to inform me there was nothing they could do and they would not refund my deposit. I will never stay there now.

We had both lunch and dinner while on the lake. Food was great, staff is fantastic. And if you get a chance try out their golf course. Bring a lot of balls.

On Thursday, September 14, 2023, 12:14 PM, Kathy Rasmussen [email protected]:A few weeks ago we discussed your vacation at Lakewoods.  I did review everything and discussed the issues you had with the appropriate individuals.  I was in the process of refunding part of the boat rental when I became aware of the poor rating Lakewoods was given by your group.  It is difficult for me to refund when a poor review was posted.  If you would like to discuss this further, please contact me.  I appreciate your feedback.thanks..Kathy-- Kathy RasmussenLakewoods ResortA Family Tradition Since 1906715-794-2561 x 6614LakewoodsResort.com. This is an email I received from Lakewoods Resort owner This is exactly why the bad reviews from our family This is terrible business practice We were disrespected and felt unwanted Please find a more friendly place to stay there are many in Wisconsin

I will just post the email I sent to management after our visit, to which they couldn't even bother to respond. Absolutely horrible."On January 6 I used the online reservation system to book accommodations for this past weekend, January 27-29. I specifically was looking for a room with an en suite whirlpool/hot tub as this was to be a weekend of snowshoeing and relaxation and nothing is better than a private whirlpool after a good day in the woods. As is shown on the attached screen shot, I reserved a Hot Tub Suite, AKA Whirlpool Suite as shown on your website. The email receipt I received made no mention of a room number or a room type, so I had no way to double check to ensure I was getting the room I booked.Upon arrival Friday evening, we got into our room, and there was no whirlpool. I didn't bother to complain about it as I couldn't find my confirmation that was what I booked, and I assumed I had somehow booked the wrong room. Upon returning home, I found the screenshot of my booking, and I had indeed booked a whirlpool suite, room 411. Instead we were given room 407.While it's bad enough that we were not given the room I booked, room 407 was a bad experience in itself. The carpet is disgusting, dirty and stained. The heat doesn't work well at all, the wall unit produces at best lukewarm air, the electric fireplace is nearly useless, and someone decided that the baseboard unit in the bedroom should be wired in with the defective wall unit, so if the wall unit is turned up high to try (in vain) to make the living room comfortable, the bedroom becomes uncomfortably warm. The only heat in the bathroom is the single heat lamp in the ceiling fixture, and it doesn't produce much heat, so the bathroom was freezing cold at all times, and the doors wouldn't stay open so that we could even try to get some heat in there from the bedroom - there was no heat to be brought in from the living room, that's for sure. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was so loud it was like having a diesel truck idling in the room. The patio door was barely able to be forced halfway open, and then stuck so badly I wasn't sure we'd get it closed again. The bedroom door has broken hinges and has to be lifted up by the handle in order to close it, and the door on the closet in the living room barely operates. The breakfast bar would be kind of a nice touch, but with only one bar stool, only suitable for a single traveler, and it's doubtful a single traveler would book a suite. It's nice that there was an in-room coffee pot, but there was a single coffee packet (and a decaf). With no housekeeping service, a 2-night booking should be given 2 coffee packets. I know, I could go to the desk and get another, but I shouldn't have to, that's not a resort experience. I could overlook the crack in the ceiling and the rusty drop ceiling supports, but then again, you're charging premium rates so I shouldn't have to. Additionally, there was a piece of broken glass or mirror on the floor behind the toilet, left over from some previous guest. It's probably still there.Friday night between 10 - 11 PM, about a dozen snowmobiles parked right outside our bedroom window, and most of them were up and at it early Saturday morning. I like snowmobiles and snowmobilers for the most part, and I don't blame them. Hotel management, however, should have sense enough to block off the area right outside a bedroom window and not allow snow machine or any other parking right there. There was a sled parked literally less than a foot from the window.Had I known I wouldn't have a whirlpool suite, I would never have booked with you for the weekend, and if I were going to, had I known the poor condition of the room and how uncomfortable it would be, I would never have booked at the rate I was charged. I feel I'm due a refund of at least a substantial amount of the room charge. "
