I only had one night and my flights were delayed by four hours so I did not arrive until 9 PM and checked out the following morning. It was a Sunday night and almost empty. The place was beautiful lodge decor and very clean. Check-in was easy and quick. The room was large, clean and contained fridge, microwave and a... More

The Waters of Minocqua is a perfect place for families with children! The concept is great especially since the next closest water parks are a few hours away from The Waters. With it being only a few short hours from home (and the drive over from MI is beautiful), we'd definitely make the trip again. However, there are a few... More

Great place for families with kids under 10 who like water parks. Great decor, large rooms, lots of kids' activities. Have to have a car to get into Minocqua, etc. So this would be a good base for kids to let off some steam

The Waters in Minocqua is a nice stay overall, the only thing I would complain about as I see someone did before was the Bar Restaurant, limited menu and slow service, also the chicken tenders sandwich was so hard you couldn't eat it, with all the children staying there they should have a kids menu also. The continental breakfast was... More

Stopped in for a night on the way to UP ski trip. Upgraded to loft room and was glad I did. Bed was very comfortable and we had plenty of room. The fireplace was a nice touch. The manager was extremely accommodating and left water park open later than usual. i would go back in a heartbeat.

This is my second review for this property. My fifth stay here. The hotel itself is great. My family enjoys the pool and the hotel. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the view from our balcony was beautiful. This year we thought we'd try eating dinner at the bar....and that was a horrible mistake. We sat and waited. The...

We just decided to stay there one night on a whim. We booked via their online website and chose a 2 queen with a fireplace. Got there early and got to check right in. The room was very clean and spacious. We did go to the waterpark area to sit in the indoor/outdoor hot tub. I thought it was ok... More

This property is very impressive upon arrival. A beautiful north-woods decor greets you and is evident throughout the hotel. Rooms are very spacious and well laid out and it appears that ALL the rooms have a small balcony which is nice.
