Camp Richardson Historic Resort

Camp Richardson Historic Resort

8/10 Good
"This is a basic property with minimal amenities and small rooms. Although they have some to borrow, if needed daily, bring your own hairdryer. Our room didn’t have a coffee maker but they did offer it in the lobby. And although we stayed for convenience and knew it would be busy due to Oktoberfest, they didn’t secure parking for hotel guests. They said they have parking behind the ice cream shop and gave us a parking pass but they didn’t monitor the lot so no guaranteed parking. We’ll stay down the road and ride in next time. Bring ear plugs to sleep through the road noise."

"This was the perfect place for seven adults to stay at to celebrate my sons 30th birthday. The house is in a great location. Very walkable area and easy to bike to breweries, mini golf, Camp Richardson, and lake. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all our meals and the beds were very comfortable. The open floor plan upstairs and outdoor deck was a great space for my family to hang out at. We would definitely stay here again."

"Everything was great! Host communication was excellent and the residence was exactly what we expected on the pictures. Location was prime and so close to the lake and perfect for summer. Very modern look, which blew all other cabins away in the area. Providing any beach towels would have been a plus, but not expected."
