While the meals at the Grill were great, my experience at the Mission Point restaurant was quite disappointing. the Caesar salad was oddly prepared and not what I expected. In contrast, the Fairways had much better food and service.

My stay at Madden's On Gull Lake was enjoyable with beautiful grounds and a serene atmosphere. Although the accommodations in the Wilson Bay cabin were quite small and lacked basic amenities, the overall experience was positive with friendly staff and excellent dining options. The variety of activities, like the pontoon cruise and trap shooting, added to my fun getaway.

I found the Wilson Bay cabin to be very small, making it hard to move around, and there wasn't even room for my makeup bag in the bathroom. I had a much better experience last year in the larger Voyageur building. Overall, the rooms were clean, but size was an issue.
