Curriers Lakeview Lodge

In Rice Lake for an event so this wasn't a vacation destination for us, but a place to spend the night for a quick visit. This log cabin feeling lodge is located on the lake, in the woods and gives off a relaxing vibe. No frills but provides essential needs. Friendly accommodating staff, coffee and scones (the best ever from a local bakery) in the morning in a little breakfast galley type kitchen area that's great for grab and go, clean room with comfortable beds and a great view of the lake. Good location with plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, parks nearby. Less expensive than the basic 2-3 star hotels with pools in the area and has a more personal feel. We were there in March, the dead of winter, so I can't comment on a summer stay although it looks like it would be nice right on the lake steps from the rooms. The view of the lake is peaceful and serene however being there in the winter the piers were pulled up on the shore right outside of the rooms so that was the view! Not a complaint, just a fact. I'd recommend a stay here and would certainly choose this place over other hotels in the area.

Clean room, friendly service, beautiful views. Lots of activities available. Near town. Only problem was that they charged $3 per day to make coffee in room. They give you the first packet of coffee free, but then you pay $3 for every other packet.

Stayed here in the winter for the Birkebeiner. Bottom line, this is not a fancy chain, and definitely has its quirks (bathroom door wouldn't close all the way and we would use the trash can to hold it closed), but that is something we find endearing and look for with our hotel stays. The lodge is an old lodge and keeps that feel of a family cabin. It is cozy, has a fully equipped kitchen, and lots of room. The lodge is on the lake, and would love to see it during the summer. It is quiet and relaxing, but right next to downtown Rice Lake for restaurants and supplies. They offer a simple grab and go breakfast, with scones, fruit, juice and a full coffee/ tea bar. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for the Northern Wisconsin experience.
