The Wisconsin Wood Inn

Quaint cabin in small town. Perfect stay after we were river tubing all day. Check-in was super easy and friendly. Old fashioned key style rooms. Rooms were tight fitting but comfortable nonetheless. Beautiful outdoor outlook from back porch.

The room didn't look like it had been dusted in quite some time and when it was time to check-out, there was no one to be found. Rang doorbells and knocked on doors but finally left the key in a mailbox before leaving.

No breakfast it’s a single motel room

The seclusion and the bed

Pretty much everything else. We wanted a getaway for New Years without kids and when we checked, the girl behind the desk spent the entire time on her phone with someone from another country. She spoke another language the entire conversation- how do We know she wasn’t saying anything about us? Also, that’s the longest check in we’ve ever had- almost 20 minutes! When we finally got to our room, the heat wasn’t on, which is terrible in the winter in Wisconsin! No instructions for how to turn on the floor heater that’s buried behind the TV set; we turned on the shower for heat but it NEVER got hot. The sink water took 15 minutes to heat up just to wash your hands. The shower head desperately needs replacement, too. They put us in this tiny corner room; luckily we’re married and happy to snuggle because that room was embarrassingly small. It’s OBVIOUSLY not the one in any of the room photos online. We had no little deck in the back of our room like is pictured. No amenities in the room, nowhere to put a suitcase or eat food, other than a desk, or hang clothes. Overall, it took the little heater all night to heat up. (Common courtesy for the owners would’ve been to turn the heat on once a reservation has been made, especially since they know it’s cold). We didn’t pay much for the room but still, when you spend any amount of money you want to not feel like you’ve been robbed. We really wanted to like this place- we’re locals and my husband drives by it everyday for work. We wanted to support small business but unfortunately, we just won’t be back.
