What guests think

Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark draws families with a kid‑friendly indoor waterpark and spacious suite-style rooms with kitchens, but reviews often mention dated decor, temperature and noise issues, and mixed experiences with cleanliness, dining, and check‑in.

Many guests praise friendly, responsive staff and the handy texting system for quick requests. Feedback on the waterpark ranges from warm, clean and well‑lifeguarded to crowded with occasional cold water, limited hours, towel shortages or under‑renovation locker rooms. On-site dining is convenient but quality, pricing, and hours are inconsistent; some head to Grand Geneva for more options. Overall, this is a family‑focused, waterpark‑first stay, best suited to travelers prioritizing kid fun over polished luxury.

The hotel was pretty nice , rooms were clean and big. Big enough for family with 2 small kids. The bed was comfortable but the pull out sofa was very uncomfortable. Kitchen and bathroom were good, whirlpool was a nice plus in the bathroom. Water park was clean, even during spring break it was not super crowded. The water temp was comfortable but the chlorine smell was very strong. Kids really enjoyed the water park. Restaurants and food choices were very disappointing, the wait for breakfast was super long and the food was not good at all. Wish the hotel would have more activities for kids, even though they had some they were just very poor quality. Hotel is 8min from lake Geneva downtown and the surrounding is very nice.

We have been going to Timber Ridge for years. This years visit was so disappointing. Check in took forever with only one person and lines of people. Water park was extremely overcrowded. Tables are left dirty and filled with wet towels. It's impossible to know if someone is sitting at the table or just left all their garbage. With new water park renovations we expected it to be amazing. The water was extremely cold and all we were told is that they "were looking into it." You spend all this money and it's so cold your little one is freezing, you can't sit down or even get a clean table. The lazy river is a joke. There is no "lazy" about it. At least half is kids running around in it or swimming in it that you can't float without being run into, tipped over or have to worry about running over a little kid. Life guards are not paying attention and not enforcing any rules that are posted within the water park. In the game room some games will take credits from your card but not give you a chance to play. I had to have this fixed for 4 different games between my children. Ridiculous! Food at The Hungry Moose took forever and when it did come out it was cold. Waitress apologized for how long it took but said there was a large to go order so we had to wait until that was completed. Rooms need a lot of TLC, lots of broken cabinets, dishes and are just not well maintained. I wish I could get out money back for this stay.

Water park was great! Well managed! Lobby help was incredible. The only reason for the four starts were that the locker rooms were under construction, which added noise and dust, and of course there was no restroom or changing area for the water park.

We had an EXCELLENT stay. We were in a 2-bedroom suite, which was spacious and clean. The decor is outdated, but it was clean and comfy. The bed pillows were hard, and there were no blankets or spreads on the beds—only sheets and a duvet. I missed not having a blanket. In this suite, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cups, and silverware. The bathrooms do have a supply of shampoo/conditioner/ soaps. The showers did take a few minutes to warm up. The staff was AMAZING!!!! they were friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurants were good. They were a little pricey, but nothing was out of the norm for the area or a resort hotel. The waterpark was warm, CLEAN, and fully staffed with lifeguards. These lifeguards walked the entire pool deck at all times. They had plenty of tables & chairs, to put down your stuff. The pool towels were clean, warm, and large. they also have cabanas you can rent for a reasonable price. Check in and Check out was a breeze. The reasons I am not giving this place 5 star, is the outdated Decor, it didn't bother me, but it will both some. Those hard pillows and not having a blankets on the beds.

Great water park, water is warmer which we enjoyed. My toddler loves water and had a blast. Water park is clean lots of lifeguards. The 2 bedroom suite we got was ok. We noticed at night that the top room was hot and unable to cool it with the lower room AC. The ceiling fan didn’t do much to help cool it. Mentioned it to the team there they were going to bring a box fan but never did. The next night it was cooler out so we were able to rest. Housekeeping didn’t pick up the trash nor changed our towels out 2 nights we spent there.

The hotel lobby was inviting and the staff was pleasant. We needed an elevator to get to our room. This was an old, dirty elevator. It hesitated to open at times and made horrible grinding noises when in use. Initially impressed with our room,1st bedroom was clean & spacious and the second was cozy. after unpacking, we had a chance to look around. We found candy wrappers on the counter and around the room. There were finger prints on the fireplace and the windows were filthy. None of the mirrors had been wiped down. The coffee pot was filthy internally. There were streaks on the walls as if there was some sort of leak at one point and there appeared to be a lot of poorly executed DIY repairs done on just about everything in the room. The kids 13&10, were able to swim for an hour while we made dinner plans. We later took advantage of the arcade and witnessed several machines having errors and taking $. Day 2 at the pool, kids went ahead of us and weren’t allowed in without adults. I respect this rule, but had to question why they were allowed in alone the day before. The lazy river was slimy in spots as was deck around the pool. Shortly after arrival they closed the lazy river due to feces for over an hour to clean. Just before reopening, they closed the pool for the same reason. We swam 1.5 hrs in 2 days. poolside food overpriced, overcooked and cold. given their prices the maintenance in the facility could be a lot better and cleaner. Ok place but not for the price!

For the price of the room, you would expect it to be more updated in cleaner. It seems like everything was thrown together cheaply Jacuzzi tub was nasty. Paint on the ceiling was coming off mildew on the ceiling in the bathroom. Dishwasher was nasty door on microwave falling off not impressed. Waterpark was nice, but that was about it should’ve bought day passes and stayed at another hotel.

It was a great time with my 1.5 yr. old. The Waterpark was small but perfect for what we needed. The room set up was great, but everything was pretty old, carpets were stained and bathroom was in need of a deep clean. Everything by was very loud, we could hear the screams of the water slides from our room. Check in and communication was great evasive from the room not being ready when we arrived, but we changed in the lobby bathrooms and went to the waterpark while we waited, which wasn’t very long. Overall I think the weekend stay was great, but just know the rooms are older and need some updates.

The rooms are gross and in need of updating. There was hair on the toilet, black scum on the shower curtains and tub jets, mold in the caulking in the bathroom, rust all over the shower faucets and kitchen sink. The kitchen smelled, and there was food splattered in the walls. The worst part was we paid over $400 for a 2 bedroom suite, but we couldn’t even sleep in the upstairs bedroom that was lofted. It was easily over 80 degrees up there even though the thermostat was set to 68 downstairs. The outdoor sections of the water park were closed on the second day, and that was the best part. On the inside, there’s no pool that’s good for little kids to swim in with zero entry—just the splash pad area, so that was disappointing.

The only thing that could have been better would be a less noisy way to get air conditioning up to upstairs bedroom and beds were really hard and gave my husband a really stiff back. Overall we love timber ridge and the kids always have such a great time!!!

My family has been going here for the last 15 years. It’s the only indoor waterpark I like. It’s small and manageable. One lap around and you can find your kids in the lazy river or coming down one of the 2 slides. The rooms are dated but nice enough and the amount of space is amazing. The complimentary trolley comes often and will take you to/from the Grand Geneva or the Mountain Top. You don’t even need to leave the resort. I love that we can charge everything to our room anywhere on the property. No need to carry your wallet 😊 This is a very great family resort

Pros: they are renovating, new carpet, upgrading bathrooms and appliances etc. Now using texting for you to message issues/needs, and this is like having a concierge in your pocket. They are VERY responsive and helpful (e.g., needed a blanket for the pullout sofa,, and it was there within 5 min!). Very family friendly and you have access to the Grand Geneva except the pools which is super nice to have. Even during peak times there was little to no wait on slides. Rooms were very clean and sheets were crisp and made you feel like you were in a high end hotel. Cons: the property is older and the bathroom tiles are moldy and in need of repair. Shower heads are minimal pressure/older. Seem to be having plumbing issues as our first room toilet backed up and the second room’s toilet made weird noises all night; lots of leaking on first floor hallway ceiling tiles that is pretty gross. However it seems like a work in progress as there were painters etc working a lot on making it better. Customer service in the waterpark cafe was super slow (15-20 min for a sandwich when we were the only order); waterpark pools and lazy river need resurfacing. Overall I would go again. They are in the midst of renovating and super nice!

Looks to have paid over 300 more for 2 rooms for 2 nights then i agreed to. Also they have a resort they dont tell you about down the road with baskrtball, sauns, massages, etc. Was horrible communication and even worse customer service after we left. They didnt give a crap after they billed me. Said its already done.

But the waterpark itself has a lot of things to do already especially for those who have kids. I liked how our hotel room is like a mini house, its got kitchen with aplliances (plates, cups, utensils etc) and dining table. We were on the first floor so we really enjoyed out outdoor patio that is very close to the outdoor pool. We are definitely coming back.

This impacted our waters park time and check out (which they did extend one he of check out, but we never got to enjoy the time we planned to spend with our family having fun. Also, they did comp us….when we complained. I believe your restaurants should open before 9 am, if you want to make money & serve the families who are up at 7 in the am. Or need to leave by check out!!!
