"The cabin was filled with everything we needed for a couple days away from home. Tucked in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, we spent our time playing outside, kayaking on Alder Lake, and getting takeout for dinner. I would recommend this cozy cabin for anyone near or far." - H.H.

The most relaxing trip!

We always look forward to our fall trip to Alderwood. Bayview cabin is perfect for our family and two pups, with our own dock for fishing and a fire circle nestled into a private area. Bayview is one of our favorites!

True northwoods experience

Alderwood Resort is a true “Northwoods” experience. All cabins are tastefully decorated and provide all necessary accoutrements for a comfortable getaway. Our family has stayed at Alderwood for many years. Our hosts ( the Bartlings) have managed this property with great care, and exceptional hospitality. On occasion, we have stayed at other properties on the Manitowish chain but always return to Alderwood where we are guaranteed the best of a northwoods vacation.

Fist Time, But Not Last Time

Had Alderwood on my hit list for a year or two, but could not get in due to availability. When I saw a cabin open in early June I adjusted normal timeframes and booked. Cabins are as described and were perfect for our needs. Stayed in Bayview and at times it felt we were away from others at the resort, but in reality we were right there (best of both worlds). Cabin was ready and clean upon arrival. Management was attentive when needed, but not on property which is just fine. Had a great time and will return. Only change would be to come later in Summer due to our schedules, but will take what we can get at this beautiful and highly desirable resort.

Needs a face lift

Needs serious updating. Had to hang something on the bathroom entrance as I hit my head the entrance is less than six feet. I'm 6ft 2 200 lbs and barley fit in the shower. If you are a larger person good luck. The cabin was clean. Location to the water very nice.

Pamela B., New Orleans

Fantastic! All we hoped for and more.

This is one of the best vacations we ever took! The cabin at Alderwood Resort was lovely and the area spectacular. Though we heard that we missed the "peak" season for fall colors, we were not disappointed by the foliage which was still very vibrant. The amenities of the cabin were perfect for my husband and I. The peaceful, serenity afforded by the area is intoxicating. We loved sitting by an open fire, riding bikes, paddling the canoe as we explored the lake, reading, relaxing, cooking most of our own meals & just simply enjoying the peacefulness. The lack of a TV was not a problem for us, but might be considered if you bring kids & they aren't so understanding. It absolutely fosters family time. Becca provides all you could want, and for the rare "special request", was so responsive and prompt. The extra little things, like plenty of firewood, free bike usage, books/games, bar-b-que grill/charcoal, canoe, etc. really made for a worry-free trip. As we flew in from New Orleans limiting what we could carry, Becca was even kind enough to provide us w/towels and life preservers. We are definitely planning on return visits!

A Magical Place

It was amazing. We loved it. Incredibly well-maintained and well-stocked, and clean. It was a pleasureful getaway, even with two young, restless children in tow on a rainy day, and a wife off shooting a wedding nearby. I hope to be back for a more extended stay next year.

Lovely lakefront cottage

Hate to write this as I'd like to keep the place a secret - but it's only fair to the owners who take such good care of the cottages and grounds - yeah, it's that sorta place. A little gem tucked into a beautiful little corner of northern Wisco. Immaculate, well tended, mindful host, quiet, beautiful. Will cause extreme psychological withdrawal as you leave and get back to your real life of schedules, cell phones, and noise.
