Heidel House Resort

The grounds and location are beautiful. However they charge resort prices when the rooms, furniture, linens etc. are on par with a mid to lower market chain hotel. On top of that they don't even provide for free amenities that most mid market chain hotels provide. They don't provide bathrobes, they charge for newspapers, they charge for local calls, they charge for use of the computers in the room off the lobby. They have a game room but charge you for ping pong and fooze ball. They advertised a kids club from Memorial Day until Labor Day but still had not started it as of the last week of June. The lake was closed due to recent flooding. While the lack of boating activities was not their fault, there was no explanation of what was going on. I never saw anyone in management or at the front desk who appeared over the age of 25. While this in of itself is not a problem the overall impression is that of a nice property passed its prime managed by afar and staffed with college students or recent college graduates. Definitely not worth the price.

What an amazing resort this is! My wife and I were looking for a getaway that was closer to home (Chicago, IL) and we were pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Heidel House.

We were looking for a relaxing weekend with a comfortable and clean hotel, and that's exactly what we found. The staff here was really friendly and outgoing. The hotel is right on Green Lake which offers a truly tranquil setting. Our room was very comfortable with a great view and was very clean. My wife always rates the hotel by their cleanliness, and she said they pass with flying colors (that says something, because she's picky when it comes to cleanliness).

We've already booked our long weekend for next year, and by then they will have their new Spa opening. I think it's going to be called "Evensong Spa" it looks really nice from what we can see so far.
