My friends and I decided to have a last minute girls getaway to the Heidel House. We called Thursday and were accommodated for every treatment we wanted for Saturday (48 hours later). Although it was a busy day the spa was relaxed, comfortable, quiet etc. Everything was perfect. The steam room and hot tub were gorgeous--the facial I had (by Emma) was the best ever. This place understands that waiting and wondering if you are going to be called soon and feeling rushed detracts from the overall experience. Every detail was perfect. Can't recommend highly enough.

Vines & Rushes Winery

Reviewed By sansanmom - Rockford, Ohio

Very friendly service. Up to 8 free tastings of wine, hard cider or craft beers. We found several that we liked and purchased. There was live folk music (Friday evening). They had brick oven pizza with unique specialty pizzas. We had the scape goat- delicious! Pleasant atmosphere. It was busy but plenty of room to move around.

We live in a small a real small community. I babysit my son's Chihuahua , and if the weather permits we go to the Golf Club of law Sonya with the golf cart daily so that little dog can run and get his exercise. It is very peaceful fun to talk to the tourists and golfers, and there's so much to see in the woods and the the the little tiny running Brooks and ponds that surround them. We even have found exotic orchids! This is what we love right across the road in beautiful Green Lake Wisconsin.

Thrasher Opera House

Reviewed By Kagee39 - Lake Tomahawk, Wisconsin

Four of us attended a concert by Tom Chapin and were most impressed by the facility, the renovated interior, the sound quality, and best of all the concert itself. Tom entertained us for nearly 2-1/2 hours with wonderful work in guitar, banjo, and auto harp - of course he can sing too. He even played one of his older brother Harry's songs - "Cat in a Fiddle", and did it justice. A must see for tourists to stop at.

The Little White School House, Birthplace of the Republican Party

Reviewed By podrozniczka60 - New Jersey

This place was a bit of serendipity for us and we were lucky to have met a very interesting and competent guide passionate about local history. The Little White Schoolhouse built in 1853 is apparently considered the birthplace of the Republican Party. The interior of the schoolhouse consists of many important artifacts, old school furniture and one can find a lot of information about the antislavery movement and the Republican Party. The markers just outside the building provide a lot of detailed information. This is a recommended stop while in Ripon.

The Town Square is a great addition to this quaint community. Local instructors and volunteers have created a place that has something for everyone. There are exercise classes, yoga and pilates, art lessons, and even personal quilting advice or instruction.
The wealth of creative talent in this area is incredible and people are willing to share their wisdom. The facility even includes a great fitness center with the latest in equipment, not to mention Bingo!

Green Lake Conference Center

Reviewed By Randall B - Houlton, Maine

This whole area is absolutely GORGEOUS! Large space, beautiful large, deep, lake, abundant wildlife, old oak trees, walking trails, disk golf, golf, tennis, volleyball, fishing, boating, meditation spaces,...FANTASTIC food and lots of it, with a great gift shop and grand dining hall. The old hotel is under renovation right now, and was comfortable, but needing some TLC. Service was good and friendly, and I'll LOVE seeing what the updates will do to make the Roger WIlliams Inn grandly wonderful again.

We attended a ?Christian conference for a week, happening at the Green Lake Conference Center. The Center is in a beautiful location by the lake and it is one of the best I have visited, besides Billy Graham Center in Asheville, NC. The GLCC is a bigger compound and mostly very well maintained. The cafeteria food was just awful, they really need to do something about it. I had to beg to have some Chicken Tenders and Corns from the Kids Menu! One can rent bike, boat, tour the ground or go and swim in the lake or just sit and enjoy the view and quiet time in one of the Adirondack chairs.
We also visited the Heidel House Resort and Spa and had a drink, beautiful grounds. Overall, as this being my first time in the Mideast, I truly enjoyed the change of landscape. Although it seems there is not much respect for the pedestrian crossing I this part of the USA.

Reviewed By HTCWI - Marathon, WI

Our friends recommended we take this boat tour - it was very educational and entertaining. Cletus the Captain was training a new guy - Gary and Gary did a great job - he definitely knows a lot about the lake. Cletus was socializing with the passengers and that was very nice! The tour was an hour long as advertised. The afternoon cruise was to include soda or water and there was no mention of either of these. It was very hot out and the water would have been really refreshing - so not sure what happened there. We were sitting on the upper deck and not one person that I saw got water or soda - fyi. Cannot speak for the lower deck - but there was no mention of it over the speaker at any point. I believe that if things are advertised they should actually happen. Overall cruise was a fun way to get to know Green Lake!

Action Marina

Reviewed By HJHM - Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Green Lake is a great place for a weekend on the water and Action Marina has all the toys you need for fun. We've rented a pontoon boat from them twice and both times the service has been fantastic. So friendly and helpful. The boats are new and in great shape. They also rent tubes and other ride-on water toys - so fun. We'll definitely rent from them again.
