Phenomenal place to stay! Right on the water. Newly renovated rooms. The best staff in the northwoods! Fire pits down by the water. Beer garden. Restaurant has great food! Highly recommend. Also has a private beach for the kids. Never too busy either.

After a 12-hour drive from Ohio, I was hoping this place would be good. It wasn't. It was outstanding. We had a very minor issue with our room checking in--one we could have easily lived with--but they upgraded us without hesitation because they had a last-minute cancellation. The property is wall-to-wall rustic charm (especially the main building), and our room and beds were very comfortable. Slept great. Great that they had trailer parking too! Most importantly to us, the place was active and fun during the day, but it was quiet at night and in the morning. We enjoyed having coffee down by the water in the morning. All the guests we met were super nice. Some had been coming to the Chanticleer for years, which speaks volumes. The restaurant and bar were great. The food was delicious, and the Chanticleer bartenders passed the "proper Wisconsin old-fashioned" test with flying colors. Lastly, the woman who checked us in was very nice. After a long drive, the friendly greeting was quite welcome. I'd go back to this place in a heartbeat. Way better than staying at some boring chain hotel. Five stars and two thumbs up.

We chose this property because it promised a picturesque stay with an on-site restaurant. After a long six-hour drive without stopping for food, I was really looking forward to relaxing on the porch and enjoying a nice meal. However, upon arrival, I discovered that the restaurant was closed for a private event. I was directed to a local bar instead, but it was packed, as dining options in the area are quite limited. What a letdown after such a long journey!

Lakeside cottages and outside access hotel rooms. Perfect spots to hang by the lake with family and friends. CI has several tables, chairs, fire pits, fire wood, hammocks, a playground, and lots of space to gather outdoors. Rooms and furnishings were a little dated but added to the charm. It’s classic lakeside lodging and it was perfect!

We stayed in one of the A frame units. They are updating them. It was nice to have the mini kitchen and we cooked breakfast every morning. The rooms are pretty tiny though. The bathroom could have been cleaner and we had an issue with our drain working in the shower. Maintenance took care of it right away. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would come again but maybe pick a larger unit for our family of four.

I am a tax exempt. ALL other hotels can figure out how to ensure I am not charged or refund my tax. I received excuse and attitude because I booked online entity they could not refund. Well folks I've stayed in a lot of more rural locations on top of cities. They all accommodate and figure it out under the same circumstances. Yes that is fact. I paid $136 for a cramped room with filthy carpet, piles of dirt in corners of bathroom floor, flies buzzing around, patio that was stacked side by side with others and had no privacy. The pictures online did not match what I found. Reality, I work in Madison with 100s of other state employees who travel like I do. You lost my bar and meal business for me and my guest. I will be spreading the word at the state level. Therefore you're losing that business as well. The customer stated all other businesses have figured this out. Yet you chose the be stubborn and non accommodating. It wasn't busy. You had time to investigate and fix it. You offered no solution vs. "you have to accept" On top of poor customer service, the room wasn't worth 136. Filthy carpets. Online photos room looks larger and patio is private. Not the case.

The auto entry without a phone needed was great, but wish the instructions would have been a little more clear. We kept trying to push the unlock after the code, should only use numbers. Room was very quiet but a little more dirt on the edges and a moldy looking mat in the tub, a bit more than would have like to see, but decent overall. We had a full fridge unit, which also had utensils and such. Since they are providing: a large bowl, veggie peeler and salt/pepper would have been nice, just for suggestions, but otherwise the extras were appreciated. Great property, lots of nice amenities, close to town, would choose again.

This resort is stunning. Get transported back in time (but like in a good way) days were simpler, slower and kindness was easier to find. Friendliness trickles down from management, to staff, to guests. However anyone wants to take this, but being a mixed race couple we have mixed reviews for northern Wisconsin businesses. This resort took our wariness and through it out the door and welcomed us completely. We felt at home. Rooms were more rustic (not like super rustic, the toilets inside big babies, beds comfy and the view serene. We will be back. If you’ve never gone before? Just do it. You won’t regret it.

The frontdesk personnel were a bit preoccupied. We felt like some personal issue happened before we arrived. The room and bath are small but comfortable. I was surprised that there were no usb plugs in the room. We decided to go to the Heidout at the end of the street for dinner and back to the hotel bar for a nightcap. The drinks were good and reasonable but again, just didn’t feel welcomed.

From check in until checkout and absolutely terrible experience. Booked 2 months in advanced, requested 1st floor room and was denied due to “saving rooms for pets” There was pets staying on second floor as well. General manager is just as clueless and the heavy set front desk girl. Bathrooms smelled terrible like old urine and breakfast was disgusting. Stay literally anywhere else

The Inn was incredibly helpful in trying to not charge me for booking a hotel in Wisconsin, when I thought it was a hotel with the same name in TN. They were going to cancel and not charge me. Expedia was not helpful at all. And every attempt I made to correct it through them was met with silence. I would go to the Inn if I were in Wisconsin in a heartbeat. But I would not use Expedia to do it.

We loved the welcome we received upon checking in. In addition, we liked the property enough to ask if they would have a room available for the next night, too. Though it was Cranberry Festival days with huge numbers of people arriving, they had one room available for us. The setting is superb, with the Eagle River Chain of lakes the setting. Peaceful, natural location. Highly recommend.

The room was modern and nice. The self service concept of having to call to have someone freshen up the room was very disappointing. When I did call for towels and bathroom products it was delivered, the old towels were left in the room. The "Holiday" hours for the restaurant during Christmas and New Years was also disappointing. Bar closed at 8 pm. There seemed to be a lack of employees and the attention to basic details that should have been for the price. On the positive side the restaurant had very good food. The bar area was very nice and had a fire place that was being used.
