Shell Lake Lodge--a great place to stay!

I would definitely recommend the Shell Lake Lodge in Shell Lake, Wisconsin. The hotel was very clean, the rooms/bed were comfortable, and the hot breakfast was good and much appreciated.

We (my wife, brother and his wife) didn’t feel the property was worth the price we paid. We realize this is the “high” season for travel, but… Our rooms were on the second floor with no elevator. We had very, very tiny soap bars and shampoo samples. Only two towels. The breakfast was underwhelming with no fresh fruit and an insufficient number of fruit cups for all guests. The pool was nice, the whirlpool had powerful jets and a nice hot temperature. The lobby was nicely decorated and the side lounge by area was perfect for small groups to gather for conversations. The exterior appearance was great which was misleading as our experience inside was lacking.

The facility is clean and contemporary with a traditional bear country decor. The staff is friendly and pleasant to interact with. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The area is quiet at night, which is what we were looking for.
