★★★★★
The Lodge is a place to remember. I'm old enough to have been to many cabins around the Northwoods - this place is tops. It's the wood walls, the open floor plan, the windows, and more windows. The outside is inside in a special way. Wonderful fireplace to sit and watch the flames dance at the end of the day. I'll try to return again to enjoy its treasures and make more memories. - D.K.

    Beautiful cabin inside with a great big fireplace with comfortable furniture set up for family and friends to spend good times together. Great kitchen, totally equipped. You can see the lake from every bedroom. So many sunny days, and even the rainy days are fun spent on the very large porch with a fabulous lake view. We have puzzles and play cards, read and work on quilting and sewing projects. At night the moon is in the sky and shinning on the water. We of course are also listening for the loons. And there is always the fresh smell of the north woods. I have been coming here with my family and friends for 35 years and of all the places I have been, this is still my favorite.

    Beautiful grounds that are well maintained. The Lodge has been updated and is always clean when we arrive. We love the view of the lake from the sunporch. The kitchen is well stocked.

    Very up North. Lots of time spent on front porch. The kitchen is fully equipped, we ate in most of the time. I was here or 12 beautiful days. We did eat out a couple of times and the local restaurants are really nice. Aberdeen Lodge, Smokey's and Dixie's are our favorite. Shopping in Minoqua is always great. Ironwood MI also has great shopping, including my favorite, a really nice quilt shop - The Fabric Patch. Just a little farther North is Lake Superior. We always go out to this Great Lake when we come North to hike the falls and sit on the beach. My family has been coming to Alderwodd Resort for almost 40 years and it is just a beautiful place. The owners are so kind and welcoming and keep everything up really well. They really are a 5 star resort. Thank you.

    Was very happy with Alderwood Resort. Well run. Nice cabin. No complaints. Our first time there, but we'll be back! Easy check in. Easy check out. Always responsive to any questions we may have had. Our group loved it.

    If I could design a house, I would start the planning by using the Lodge as a starting point. We spend each morning with coffee on the porch and each evening with a glass of wine on the porch before dinner. The view is magnificent. Thank you so very much for everything. It couldn't be better. You do a great job.

    One thing lacking is providing bath towels and hand towels in the bathrooms. Even though you are told upfront the lack of towels seems cheap. We get providing your own beach towels but providing your own bath towels is a first for us. The fireplace was great and the firewood was provided. The view was amazing and we loved waking up to the sound of the loons each morning.
