It was great staying here Scott is a nice guy and he has two boys who like to play with kids any age this resort is family and kid friendly
We rented the Redwood house and enjoyed our stay. The deck was an awesome place to sit and relax. Eagles, loons, ducks, geese and an array of songbirds entertained us. We were able to watch some of the kids practice for the ski show. Fishing was spotty but we caught enough to eat.
Clean, vintage cabins with everything you need. Beautiful location. Owners are like family. Nothing negative to say. Love seeing my RER family every year.
a big thank you to the owner Scott and his boys for making our week wonderful! July 18-25th 2015.... We had 5 cabins rented that had many updates from last year and our whole family was there with many kids! Scott is there for you if you need anything! We've stayed in a lot of resorts in Chetek over the years and this was by far the best one! Scott your boys were great and our kids miss them...Cant wait to come next year...Thanks again!
Furniture needs replacing in living room of cabin. Broken and dirty. Inside of cabin could use a thorough deep cleaning. Location great, grounds well kept. Loved fishing from piers.
I just rented the main cabin on Airbnb for a couple nights. So relaxing, perfect place to stay for the Arctic blast we just enjoyed. Will definitely be coming back again to help support during the off season. Thank you!
Terry made our weekend vacation go so smooth. He was a great host, very friendly and helpful. My kids had great time swimming in the lake, relaxed by the bondfire, ate near the sunset. Our rental place was clean, the lot was big and well maintained. Will definitely be back!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
