If you want to travel back in time to the time when your family packed into a station wagon, drove for a few hours, then opened the door and said, "Now, go have fun!" then this is the place. Set in the middle of Rhinelander (upper state of Wisconsin), this is a must see.
A wonderful family has had this resort in their family for 70 years, and I just cannot say enough about them. These are real people. They have all the great manners that are taught in hospitality school, but these are genuinely thoughtful folks.
The place is 70 years old... yet immaculate!! When I had lost my earring (that I purchased at their shop), the room maid offered to help me, then, later, inquired if I had found it! Thanks!
Besides the staff, there's the activities. Each day a few to choose from, wagon rides through the woods, movies outside (or in if weather is not cooperative), water sports, tennis, volleyball, yoga outside...
And, the cafe, restaurant, and bar were also a treat. The evening of our first breakfast (delicious) we found out the cook was actually the owner. Our waiter was an interesting young fellow, friendly and helpful, and quite intelligent.
We'll be back next summer, and will bring our grandkids!!! Thank you Holiday Acres!
