Enjoyed our 2 bedroom apartment which had good heat since May in Wisconsin is still 30s to high 60s. Older Microwave but it worked well, had to call Maint 2 times but very friendly & prompt. We used timeshare Exchange but can be rented. Near many restaurants & attractions but in wooded area so quiet & natural. We went to the
Circus World Museum & the Upper Dells Boat tour which was excellent. Only 1 warning - our cell phone did not work in the apartment & no internet access except in the main Registration building -their 2 older computers, If you wish to use your own laptop
they allow for 9.95 a day. They have a lot of Familly activiities & indoor pool. It was very nice.

I found a guy online who rents his timeshare weeks out at a very reasonable rate, would be happy to direct anyone who wants to know.
The grounds were gorgeous. The kids had a blast at the pool and mini-golf. The 2-bedroom cottage was comfortable even with 7 of us.
Activities sounded hokey but maybe someone else would enjoy them (candy bar bingo, regular bingo, coloring contest).
I recommend this resort if you can get as great a deal as we found.

I am a bluegreen vacation owner and just visited this resort during the week of Dec 29- Jan 5... I come from Tennessee so the snow was absolutley wonderful. However I was over the cold after 7 days. The resort itself is very beautiful. The slopes are for beginners to intermediate skiiers. If you are use to Colorado or anything of that nature you don't need to go. Although they have a couple of black diamond hills they are not "black diamonds" as Colorado.. They were fine with me and my husband since we are beginner skiiers.

We stayed in a two bedroom villa which was ok... It is very out dated and the floors squeck very bad. The fireplace is a gas fireplace and it didn't ignite all the way.

Mulligans is one of the bars and it is good to watch any games at and to have some drinks and "bar" food. We did't try the actual resturant since we had a condo...

The skiing was ok... Please keep in mind that this is the busiest season so there were a lot of people.

If you are renting your skies and equipment I would recommnend you go early in the morning to get them because we went in the afternoon and they were all out of everything. The way they have it all set up is not very "user friendly"... They have the ski lessons right in the middle of the bunny slope so as a beginner trying to go around beginners was impossible. We will never again go at the busy time. If you are an experienced skiier you will not have to worry about this.

The sleeping arragenment were ok;... The beds were not very comfortable so if you can bring your own linens I would suggest to do so...

The indoor water park at Kalahai looked preety cool if you have small kids and you want a break from skiing.

The area casino is not that wonderful at this time. I did win some money but not millions...

All in all the trip was just ok... I will not go back for awhile; especially during the busy season....

My spouse and I have been here many times each fall (once in spring). Must be over ten times now; we love this place!

We go slightly into the off-season (October usually), so as to avoid all the families with kids. 'Cause this place is wonderful for kids, what with all the water parks and go-carts, etc, but we don't have any, so we come for the quiet time.

Sometimes it is rather later in year and some activities and sites are closed for the year. But overall we love the QUIET! It is peaceful and beautiful here. We have never gotten to all the sites we'd like to explore, but have been to PLENTY and some more than once :) We definitely go on The Original Wisconsin Ducks each trip. Never have made it to the jet ski boats, but we hear we shouldn't miss it next time.

There's plenty to do in the Dells itself, just grab some maps and travel guides, or visit the web site for ideas. Some places we have enjoyed include...

Cave of the Mounds (50 degrees, take a jacket!)
Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesen Home and Studio (Spring Green)
Cranberry Connections (the local farmer's cookbook is edited by the owner's Mom, and the video is excellent)
Paint it pottery (I spent great couple hours here)
The Wonder Spot ( kids must also really love this!)
Tommey Bartlett Water ski show (the hang glider is awesome!)
Highway 12 Internet Cafe (a must! and very cozy)
House on the Rock (wear comfortable shoes)
The Crane Foundation (saw a 5 day old baby crane get fed!)
Monona Terrace (Madison; another Frank Lloyd Wright tour)
Lost Canyon Tours (the horse & buggy are relaxing)
Circus World Museum (Baraboo) (I pet an elephant after the performance!)
Dells Boat Tours (upper and lower Dells) (corny but cute jokes, and great postcards to my scrapbook and to mail back home)
Mid-Continent Railway Museum (mini-train on 15 inch rails, a lot of fun!)
Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf (always cute and competitive!)
Carr Valley Cheese (we order online too)

Finally, if you should stay in a full-kitchen time share like we did, you can stock up on groceries at Zinke's downtown. They carry it out to your car for you!
