Facilities very dated, no secure WiFi, restaurant and bar were ok but very limited food and drink options. Price was good for an overnight stop but wouldn’t want to stay longer.

The service was incredibly slow every where except ski rental. The signs were confusing. Front desk was incredibly slow. The room keys rarely worked.

We are very surprised Travelocity lists this hotel

Pros: The only thing nice is its natural setting in beautiful, hilly Baraboo hills area of Wisconsin; the whole place needs to be updated
Cons: everything
Location: Devil's lake is within 10 miles
We love the Baraboo, WI area but finding lodging nearby is very hard so we decided to use Travelocity to come up with good suggestions and we booked the suggested room at Devil's Head Resort which hosts weddings, has a golf course and looked very inviting online. The room we got was in the "Inn" portion of their property; smelled like the room hadn't been opened in YEARS; the window had no screen by which to get fresh air into the room; NO CLOSET!, no "usual" items like a small refrigerator, no microwave, no iron (we were attending a function that next day that required us dressing up), old style TV, battered furniture, dingy walls, ceiling had paint peeling off, the hallways were dingy, battered; the elevator (this building has six floors) was very small, battered, smelly. The whole building was VERY out dated. The information we got from the front desk about locations of ice machine and other things were incorrect (they don't even keep their handouts up-to-date). The room smell was unbearable. We had to stay the night as we had arrived late and had no where else to go. We will never go back and would never recommend this place to anyone

Secluded resort good for recreation.

When we checked in, the lobby looked nice and newer. We thought this was going to be a nice place to stay.. but then we got our room details. We arrived at our building to find a musty smelling entryway and an elevator that hasn't been touched up or updated in years. Seriously, would a new coat of paint hurt? Now to our rooms: we reserved a room with a king size bed but we received a room with 2 full-sized beds. The beds themselves were sagging in the middle and I woke up with terrible back pains. The wall mounted shelves and shirt hangers were coming undone, so I couldn't use that. The bathroom had stains on the walls and ceiling, plus some of the floor tiles were coming undone. The amenities included free WiFi and cable TV, but we only had 12 channels on a tube tv (flat screens are so cheap now, come on!) and the WiFi was crawling speed or had a very low signal at best. The wall outlets also barely held my phone charger in, I had to bend my plug's prongs slightly to get it to stay in. The dresser clearly had a spot for a refrigerator, but no refrigerator in it, and the air conditioner did a terrible job of keeping the room cool and even somewhat dry. For what it's worth, we only stayed there to sleep and shower, so I can't comment on the activities. If all you need is a place to stay, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

Pros: Have everything you would want there.
Cons: The Inn needs updating.
Overall experience was OK, it was a good value for what you receive in the way of the amenities and lots of thing to do nearby.
