"The amenities appealed to a wide range of ages. We were three generations and found the outdoor fire pit and making s'mores a lot of fun. The corn hole game also brought all ages together, as did the poker table and the pool table. All-in-all, the set up and the numerous activities available at the house provided a fun and memorable time for all of us."

The Inn at Nakoma

The Inn at Nakoma

8/10 Good
"The Inn was in a remote area with lovely hiking trails of all levels. The golf course was quite challenging, but very picturesque, greens fees are reasonable and a golf cart is included. The main restaurant served good food, but was not open for dinner on Monday and Tuesday. The bistro served good salads, sandwiches and flatbreads until 8 pm. We drive a Tesla and unfortunately there are few compatible charging stations except at other hotel destinations. This is not one. The restaurant and pro shop are housed in a Frank Lloyd Wright designed building. Considering the planning and expense of this resort, I’m sure a couple of Tesla charging stations would bring some attention to this beautiful resort"
