We booked a 2 night stay for an off season get away. Actually thought that the weather would be nice mid April- silly us! We arrived after there had been an ice, snow storm the night before and they were just getting it cleared away. You have to park and walk down a path to check in but there is... More

We recently spent a long winter weekend at The Beacons. This property is very close to the action in Minocqua and easy to get to. We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo which came with 1.5 baths. The unit had a very nice gas fireplace and view onto the lake. As mentioned before, the beds are very firm. The décor... More

We just spent a long weekend in Minocqua at The Beacons resort. The stay was perfect as far as location is concerned. Right on the water with a landscaping design that keeps the Northern woods effect all around you. The challenge was really finding this at night. Most of the roads do not have street lights. The Beacons landscape is... More

The rooms are really nice and clean but the staff was incredibly sour towards us. I had encounters with maybe 4 different employees all of whom lacked interpersonal skills and a professional, pleasant approach to customers. I felt ignored and bothersome. In fact, once, when I went to the desk for pool towels, I was not granted eye contact, a... More

Stayed at resort over Labor Day weekend. Nice location, just far enough away from downtown. Clean rooms, and the resort hosted a camp fire cookout on the lake, which was nice. Pontoon boat rental was convenient.

To begin with, I have never in my life been treated the way that I was treated over the phone prior to our stay at the Beacons. Had I not been within our 30 day cancellation period (which is ridiculous in and of itself) I would have cancelled our reservation. We had two pontoon boats reserved on the first day... More

We exchanged into a one-bedroom unit from June 16-23, 2012. The view of the lake from our deck was wonderful, and we loved hearing the loons calling. The unit was very clean and the kitchen was well-equipped (although a bit lacking in storage space). In every instance the staff was responsive to our needs or questions and were cordial, helpful...
