Cranberry Inn draws consistent praise for spotless, stylish cabins and rooms, a quiet Northwoods setting by the UTV/snowmobile trails, and a convenient base around Mercer for outdoor exploring, with many guests highlighting comfort and overall value.
Operations are mostly remote with phone or text check in; some guests found it easy and responsive, while others reported unclear instructions, no on site staff, or a rare room assignment mix up overnight. Rooms vary: a few mention noisy heaters or AC, spotty internet/TV, variable mattress comfort, and occasional issues with soaking tubs or drains. Multiple reviews note the on site restaurant and lounge are closed, so on site amenities are limited and dining typically requires a short drive. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a simple base for outdoor focused stays with minimal frills.

The property is in transition. There is a for lease sign out front and there is no office on premises. All communication was via phone. But the rooms are clean, the bath and shower above average. Overall, somewhat rustic but very nice.

This is a very nice property but the management is not. I did NOT receive information via email on how to check in or what my room # was. When I stopped, the courteous maid called the manager who kept telling me I couldn't check in yet when numerous times I told him that I hadn't received an email and was simply trying to find out how to access my room and which room it was. The next day when I was out walking my dog, instead of saying good morning, I heard, "You do know we have a $25 pet charge", to which I replied yes, and I had left him a voice mail re the same... Finally, I had mentioned to him that their website, and expedia both advertise that the lounge and restaurant are open, with excellent food and service. He said, he'd talk to his IT person... really In fact, they have been closed since January 2023... Not a pleasant discovery as that was one of the things that sold me on the place despite it being a bit more expensive than alternative lodging. When I stopped at the Mercer Chamber, the woman told me she was aware of the problem as well, and did not think it was appropriate to be telling people that the lounge and restaurant were still open.

Motel consisted of 10 units adjacent a restaurant, now closed. No contact with management as key was left on dresser when we arrived. Water is so high in iron that we did not drink it. Need an iron filter. Unit was nicely furnished with tile and wood. Heating unit was loud when it came on.

The actual accommodations were so beautiful and absolutely perfect and worth the money! However, when I arrived to check in, there was no one on site and I waited at least 30 minutes for someone to call me back after calling the number listed for the property after no instructions for check in were given by email. Once I got checked in though, the cabin was amazing, like out of a movie honestly. Pristine and beautiful down to the bedding and decor. Would stay again!

Very nice property, clean, easy check in and out. Cabin stocked with what you need. Family enjoyed the small pond and did some catch and release. Town of Mercer is quaint and enjoyable, with the grocery store having the BEST baked goods, still hot from the oven. My only suggestions: to have an after hours number. I was concerned of losing or forgetting the only key we had. And check the dining chairs for nails sticking up. Son got a hole in new shorts because they got snagged on a nail head.

Beautifully done. Very dark in the rooms, very pricey for what you get. No restaurant nearby. No one there at check in time, left a message and waited for a return call. No one around to tell that the tub is having trouble draining. Probably won't be back.

When I finally arrived at almost midnight it had started to calm down from the day long winter snow storm. If I wasn’t looking for the Cranberry Resort I just might have passed it by that’s how nice it is tucked into the white snow covered pines, in fact everything is tucked into place as are the nice linens prepared onto the comfy beds the very nice and very grateful staff there at the Cranberry Resort now I stayed in room #2 very quiet and very warm. Although I was unable to go and see the other 17 cottages. That will be the catalyst for my next visit to the wonderful and very peacefully positioned Cranberry resort of Mercer Wis.if you have the opportunity to arrange a stay during a short planned getaway for one or all, this place can offer that and much much more. Safe travels and enjoy your spring.

Stay was good. Cabin had everything you could need. Basic essentials and that kind of stuff. I was called for check in and told where the key and stuff was. Hassle free. The only bad and it was very minor was that the shower/tub hadn’t been rinsed out/cleaned, there was probably a 100 or so little dead bugs in there but no big deal just turned the shower on and rinsed it out. Definitely will be back. Beds were comfy and it very quiet and peaceful. Exactly what was needed after a chaotic couple of weeks.

The cabin was beautiful, minus a few caveats. There was probably 10 dead flies and the window sill high up was full of dead lady bugs. The thing that really ruined it for us though was the soaking tub water temperature never even got *lukewarm*, it was cold! And oddly enough, the shower (that was maybe a foot away) water temperature got so, so so hot! It was cold and rainy the whole weekend and soaking in that tub would've been ideal, we were very disappointed in that.

This cabin was absolutely stunning!! What a hidden gem in the Northwoods! Loved the large soaking tub. The decorations were beautiful cabin was spotless, huge TVs, internet was a little spotty and slow, but we loved our stay. I would highly recommend and we will for sure stay again! Only thing I would recommend is an iron & ironing board.

This is a very nice property but the management is not. I did NOT receive information via email on how to check in or what my room # was. When I stopped, the courteous maid called the manager who kept telling me I couldn't check in yet when numerous times I told him that I hadn't received an email and was simply trying to find out how to access my room and which room it was. The next day when I was out walking my dog, instead of saying good morning, I heard, "You do know we have a $25 pet charge", to which I replied yes, and I had left him a voice mail re the same... Finally, I had mentioned to him that their website, and expedia both advertise that the lounge and restaurant are open, with excellent food and service. He said, he'd talk to his IT person... really In fact, they have been closed since January 2023... Not a pleasant discovery as that was one of the things that sold me on the place despite it being a bit more expensive than alternative lodging. When I stopped at the Mercer Chamber, the woman told me she was aware of the problem as well, and did not think it was appropriate to be telling people that the lounge and restaurant were still open.

I received a call early in the day of my arrival from Cranberry Inn, telling me that I would be in "Cabin 5," that the door would be open and the key would be on the "kitchen table." I arrived at 8 PM. There was no "cabin." There was a motel-type unit. There was no "kitchen table." Fine. Unit 5 was open. No one else was around. The office was closed. It seemed quiet and secluded, even though it was just off the highway. At 1 AM, someone woke me by violently pulling and pushing on the door, trying to get in!! I yelled, asking what was going on. Someone told me through the door that he had been given unit 5. I assured him that I had written down "Cabin 5" when I had been called to confirm my stay. He insisted he had been told the same thing. After much back and forth, he said that he would just see if there was an unlocked unit and stay there. I certainly could not sleep again for the rest of the night. Terrible management.

The next day when I was out walking my dog, instead of saying good morning, I heard, "You do know we have a $25 pet charge", to which I replied yes, and I had left him a voice mail re the same... Finally, I had mentioned to him that their website, and expedia both advertise that the lounge and restaurant are open, with excellent food and service. He said, he'd talk to his IT person... really In fact, they have been closed since January 2023... Not a pleasant discovery as that was one of the things that sold me on the place despite it being a bit more expensive than alternative lodging. When I stopped at the Mercer Chamber, the woman told me she was aware of the problem as well, and did not think it was appropriate to be telling people that the lounge and restaurant were still open.

Motel consisted of 10 units adjacent a restaurant, now closed. No contact with management as key was left on dresser when we arrived. Water is so high in iron that we did not drink it. Need an iron filter. Unit was nicely furnished with tile and wood. Heating unit was loud when it came on.

Very nice property, clean, easy check in and out. Cabin stocked with what you need. Family enjoyed the small pond and did some catch and release. Town of Mercer is quaint and enjoyable, with the grocery store having the BEST baked goods, still hot from the oven. My only suggestions: to have an after hours number. I was concerned of losing or forgetting the only key we had. And check the dining chairs for nails sticking up. Son got a hole in new shorts because they got snagged on a nail head.

Beautifully done. Very dark in the rooms, very pricey for what you get. No restaurant nearby. No one there at check in time, left a message and waited for a return call. No one around to tell that the tub is having trouble draining. Probably won't be back.

Beautiful, and great for a weekend birthday getaway! We enjoyed our stay - clean, comfortable, and could have our dog with us. We used the fire pit each morning, had it all to ourselves. Club 51 close by (walking distance) with wonderful food and drinks. B&B Adventures close by to rent utv, slingshot, pontoon boat, or snowmobile.

Perfect stop for our exploring of the Upper Peninsula. Our dogs loved some time off leash enjoying nature. It was a good reset for them. Cabin was spotless. Beds comfy. Restaurants within a few miles. A highlight stop for us. Definitely recommend.
