We get that we are stewards of this place that means so much to so many. While most of our guests come year after year and love this place – we don’t take this for granted. However, we feel it is important to set expectations ahead of time to make sure POV Resort is the right fit for you!

Plans Change

From time-to-time unforeseen circumstances arise, and sometimes we need to change plans around here. We aim to make sure if things change for our guests, you will receive an equal or upgraded experience as a result. Your patience with us is most appreciated!

We’re a Resort

This is a resort, so there are other folks on site. If you ever have challenges with other guests, call us in – we’re happy to help. We are not remote, but we are in a national forest. So on rare occasions there will be noise from neighbors or the state highway. Our campsites aren’t as close as KOA’s, but they aren’t as far apart as some national forest campground sites.

However, we feel the amenities of being a resort and being close to some super cool stuff outweigh being in the absolute middle of nowhere. Quiet hours from 10pm to 8am so groups of all types can enjoy the peace and relaxation of the woods at night.

This is the North”woods”

While on vacation at POV, there are the normal things you’d expect to see in nature — with occasional animals and insects and such conditions. There will be mice on occasion in cabins and in the woods. Spiders happen too. Bigger animals almost always leave campers alone, except when food is left out (so don’t do this). This is the Northwoods (they’re stunning, if you ask us), and we’re happy to help when pests bug you (pun intended). But know it is impossible to guarantee they’ll never surface.

Not a Hotel

We are a lake resort, not a hotel, and ask you to help with a few things before check out. We provide towels (for cabins) and linens for everyone (which most resorts don’t), so we ask you to help strip the beds. While we don’t have time to clean all the cabin dishes between guests, we do provide dish soap and ask you wash them before you leave. Our goal – this extra time helps our team to make sure the units are so clean even Darren’s mom would stay here. And she does!

Our Glamping Wisconsin is Still Kinda Camping

Our glamping Wisconsin campground units are camping – albeit with a lot of upgrades. Our campers and tents do not have bathrooms or operable appliances inside. We did this to keep the costs down for everyone as compared to many of our glamping in Wisconsin competitors. There is a water station outside the bathhouse, though, for you to get your own potable water.

The Camping Bathhouse is Shared

If you’re looking for a dedicated camping bathroom never used by other guests, POV isn’t the right fit for you. Our glamping Wisconsin campground has a shared public bathhouse with four bright, private bathrooms — we clean it 2-3 times daily. But sometimes guests aren’t as respectful as others in leaving it as clean as they found it. We thought about strapping a staff person to the bathhouse to clean it on demand, but decided against it for a number of reasons. BUT if the bathhouse does need extra attention between cleanings, text cell number inside bathrooms to let us know – we will get on it!

Enjoy the Breeze

There is no AC – we’re so far north it’s hardly ever needed. We recommend closing windows by day and opening for cool air at night – nearly always does the trick! Our cabins have fans inside them, and our glamping in Wisconsin units have power stations that can power fans if you bring one.

Put Stuff Back Please

We ask guests to put away stuff where they found it, in the condition it was originally in. Parents — please help your kids put balls, yard games, and non-motorized watercraft and beach toys away. Kids – please help your parents pick up the cabin or glamping Wisconsin unit before you leave.

Family-Friendly Place – Please Watch Kids

We aim to be a family-friendly resort and therefore have a lot of amenities on-site for all ages (including adults – ya’ll need to relax too). But parents — please do not let your young kids go around the resort unsupervised (this still is a forest, we do have an unsupervised lake, and kids don’t know how to treat stuff well at certain ages yet). To be a good fit for families, our 2- and 3-bedroom cabins do have some bunk beds – which aren’t the right cup-o-tea for all adults.

We’re Here to Help

 Our small team is working hard to make sure this place is top notch – but if you ever run into an issue let us know right away so we can make it right! If we don’t know about it we can’t help. And if you have any ideas on how to improve, let us know and we will add it to the list!

Final Word

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…And last but not least, you are contractually obligated on telling the owners where and how you caught your fish!
