We chose Wildwood Lodge for our Christmas family gathering destination this year, which was deferred until January. Reserved 6 rooms to accommodate my wife and I, as well as our 6 children and all the grandchildren. The hotel was wonderful for such an event. Location just off the interstate was easy to get to and conveniently located near dining establishments.

The hotel had a pleasant rustic ambience and was a warm and inviting place. It appeared well kept and clean throughout. Rooms were spacious with appropriate expected ammenities. It is pet friendly for dogs under 100 lbs for a small fee. Everyone enjoyed the pool area, the large gathering area, and the morning breakfast. The only criticism I can come up with is the bed and pillows were a bit firm for my taste, but others found them just right. I slept very well nonetheless.

The staff were wonderful. They went above and beyond expectations numerous times during the entire process, from remedying reservation diificulties I had with a 3rd party online booking site to ensuring we had adjoining/connecting rooms. I particularly wish to thank Jen, who was exceptionally helpful and kind.

As nice as we found the hotel accomodations, it was the staff that really stood out to me as exceptional.

Room tip: Rooms that overlook the indoor pool are louder than others until 10pm.

We stayed at the Wildwood Lodge for 1 night because we were attending the nearby Hinterland Music Festival. We initially booked it because it's pet-friendly and we were going to have our son look after the dog while attending the festival... But in the end, that plan changed and we got a regular double queen room.

The common areas were nicely appointed with a Northwoodsy theme... The room was your standard issue hotel room, but it was clean and the beds were comfortable.
It also had a mini-fridge, which is always a plus in my book. The property itself was surrounded by trees, so it's fairly insulated from the nearby interstate and shopping areas....you don't feel like you're in a typical cookie-cutter hotel, in a cookie-cutter mall area. A nice touch was the outdoor patio and fire table. The neighborhood seemed safe, and if you bring young kids, there's a nearby park district aquatics center, though the hotel has a nice, indoor pool. The included breakfast was above average. The staff at the front desk were very friendly.

So, in conclusion, our stay at the Wildwood Lodge was a good one. We'll definitely keep it in mind if we attend the Hinterland Festival in the future.

Husband and I just looked for a place that would be about a 1/2 mark of our drive. This place was all around excellent. Made reservation over the phone with a very friendly and informative reservationist. Walked in and the place was remarkable. Front desk man was very friendly and also informative with the location of room and pool etc. This is an excellent hotel. Very clean all around. The room was immaculate. Pool area also very neat, staff came by to pick up any dirty towels or trash. The breakfast was fantastic. The staff was always making sure it was fully stocked. I highly recommend this hotel. 5 out of 5!!!

Josh, our night manager was amazing. Out of his way helpful and on top of every detail. My whole family was staying there to attend my mother's funeral and everyone that stayed @ Wildwood credited Josh for being an important factor in helping our stay to be enjoyable. Thanks Josh!
