We've just returned from our stay and I can't say enough good things about this resort! I've seen the other reviews and I find them quite puzzling because they are so vastly different than our experience. From the time we arrived to our departure, the staff was amazing. I have no complaints at all. We stayed in a one bedroom suite that had everything that we needed...a full kitchen (stocked with all of the pots, dishes and utensils that you'd need), a balcony that overlooked the golf course and a spacious bathroom. The suite had plenty of closet space as well. Everything was clean and ready to go. And there were so many activities offered, we had a difficult time deciding what to do every day. One more thing, the resort offers free breakfast every morning. There was a very nice selection of breakfast sandwiches, cereal, all of the typical breakfast breads, milk, juice and even make your own waffles. We're already planning our next stay!

My family was planning a family reunion for August 8-10 this year. We had 5 rooms reserved, had confirmation numbers and also has called a couple weeks ago to confirm via telephone. When we called again this past Friday and were told we didn’t have rooms, that there was a problem with the reservation system. We were not offered any options nor giving any sort of compensation.

Purchased a group golf package. A nights stay with unlimited golf. I called ahead to reserve room and tee times. Was told to reserve online. (by Marita) So I did.
However, my credit card was charged and it was/is a fight to get credited for what should not have cost me anything.
Colin at the front desk was not only unhelpful but rude. Not only with myself, when others asked for simple things as in, is there coffee, or where is the breakfast room. Seemed to not want to be bothered.
There seems to be no management on the premises. If there is they not to get involved more.
Will highly recommend to group golf not to work with them in the future. And tell others to avoid.

I’m writing this and I haven’t even checked into my room yet. We were told we could check in by 3. The hot tub is out of order, none of the ice machines are working in the hotel, the ice cream parlor is supposed to be open but is closed and the workers don’t know why. My 4 year old son simply touched a a display car in their entry way and a staff member made it a point to come tell him it wasn’t a toy. This could have been avoided if rooms were available at the posted check in time. We got food in their sports bar, don’t recommend the chicken wings, they are microwaved. The pro shop for the golf course is not open, it is ran through the front desk or sports bar.
I do not recommend this place until they get some things under control.
Hope to have a room soon.

Restaurant never opened. Never informed us they were closed. Overall very disappointing experience.

My husband and I stopped in the Boundary Waters bar/restaurant for dinner Saturday, August 10. We have a vacation cabin near The Four Seasons and stop frequently at The Lounge bar and Boundary Waters. We’ve always had good food and good service. Not this past Saturday. We both ordered the prime rib special, mine with mashed potatoes, his with French fries. It was horrible, truly bad. The prime rib was very dark brown, very dry and not hot. There was no wonderful juiciness or tenderness that I love about prime rib. My mashed potatoes were barely warm and the gravy congealed on top. My husbands French fries were good though. Honestly, this was the worst restaurant meal I have ever had. I am not exaggerating. I cannot believe they served something so truly bad.
We sat at the bar and the servers truly looked embarrassed although the food quality is not their fault. We frequent The Four Seasons since our cabin is so close but we’re questioning if we will ever go back.

I was disappointed in my grilled shrimp. My husband liked his ribeye but it was not pink and he ordered it medium rare. Did not like that we didn't have a choice in potatoes. Ordered crab Rangoon for appetizer & it was delicious.

We will be returning!
My boyfriend and I stayed here the weekend of July 26th and we were skeptical because of the mixed reviews.
Arrival was busy which we expected but lobby is really nice with an old time car on display. There was a younger guy working the front desk and you could tell he was newer but he was very polite. He gave us a map of the hotel and if it’s your first time it is a little confusing but it’s easy to figure out.
Our room was on the 3rd and it was a lot bigger than we expected a little outdated but nice.There was a little lounge area when you first walk in with a couch, TV, eating area, mini fridge, microwave and small sink. Then they had 2 closets with extra pillows, blankets and a safe. The beds were comfortable and we had a balcony with small patio set. Also had an outlet outside which was nice!
Friday night we made a reservation at the 1905 Steakhouse and we did have to wait a little bit but there was only one waitress (Bianca) and she was serving 4 tables including a bigger party of 5+ so we understood and we weren’t in any rush. When we got seated we let her know she was doing a great job and we understand and to take her time. She was very appreciative. We had the seafood chowder soup which was AMAZING and shrimp Cajun Cavatappi which was delicious. Bianca was a rockstar!
We golfed on Saturday morning and we had so much fun golfing and I’m not a big golfer so I was happy with the golf course.
I got a 60 minute massage in the spa with Michelle. It was my first professional massage and she made me feel very comfortable. The massage was so relaxing and felt amazing 10/10!!
We also went fishing and didn’t really know a good spot and the staff us to ask a guy named Steve because he knew ALL the good fishing spots. He sent us about 10ish minutes away that was right over the Wisconsin Michigan boarder. We got there and didn’t fish that long because of the mosquitoes (we didn’t bring bug spray) but it was so beautiful to say the least. There was a guy there that said he had caught a lot of fish.
Went to the ice cream parlor it was super cute old timing feeling!
The downstairs bar had great food (pizza, bbq sandwich and burgers) and the staff were also amazing Seth, Maddie, I believe Lydia (she was working Saturday during the day) and also another woman that I believe worked the closing shift Saturday night.
I did also have a drink in the Lounge bar upstairs and Danielle was great!
We did also got to talk with a woman named Zibbie and she was so nice very informative.
For being short staffed all the staff members did an amazing job!
There is a lot to see and do at the resort that we wish we had more time for. We definitely will be returning and hopefully get to do more!

The service was acceptable. The staff extremely friendly but the restaurant was very understaffed, as with many hotels and restaurants since Covid.

Do Not Eat Here!!!! Food was unacceptable for the cost of it! The vegetables were frozen out of a bag and potatoes from a bag. I Want My Money Back!
Waited over an hour for a porterhouse steak and an order of pasta. When we finally received our meal, the steak was over 50% fat. The waitress offered to take $8 off our meal. I was shocked they actually thought it was ok to serve this to us. Will not be back.

1905 Steakhouse is in a beautiful setting, and the servers are attentive and friendly. The menu is limited, but everyone in our party of 6 was pleased with their food. The only drawback was that the sun was in the eyes of several of us for a big part of our time there, and there are no blinds or shades to block it — this diminished our enjoyment of an otherwise pleasant meal.

AWFUL food. It was like it was Microwaved Prime Rib!! Potatoes were left over and cold! YUK.
AlexaF
Food was disappointing and insanely over priced. Lobster was chewy and steaks were discolored. Food had no flavor and was tough to eat. Not worth $257 for two adults and two children to have dinner.

They brought the wrong salads and steaks (prime rib special and ribeye) were bad: requested medium but they were red, red rare; they were barely warm and tough. The ribeye was unusually fatty. The waitress tried to correct it all and while we appreciated her effort, it was bad. The ambience is wonderful but they really need to work on their food quality.
