This may be the most reasonably priced resort in Wisconsin. We called last minute and they had space for us for a long weekend, without breaking the bank. You can choose between cabins tucked off and a little more private or be down closer to town where all the action is. Fishing the river was great we caught alot in a couple days. I'll probably start going here a couple times a year.

My family goes here every year for a family reunion. We spend 2-4 days just hanging out and having fun. We also explore the town and go to the park that is not to far from the resort. I 10/10 reccomend staying here, even if it is just for 1 night.

I can't say enough about Wolf River Resorts. My nephew & I were Grateful to be able to stay at this place so that we could Experience our first Air Venture in Oshkosh! It's a laid back old school place yet VERY CLEAN Room & Bed (Cottonwood #4) & Very Nice staff! I am SO THANKFUL that they were one of the two only hotels to not raise their rates like crazy during the festivities so that we could afford to visit! After we checked out, Marlys & the owner recommended that we stay in Oshkosh long enough to see the Spectacular Air show that night. Hopefully next time/year we can stay more nights & Fish off of the docks there too for it's a Beautiful & relaxing area (Check-in is inside a bait & tackle shop).

It was very busy when we arrived so we sat out on the beautiful patio and enjoyed the Summer's evening. The food was exceptional and worth the wait!. I had the haddock with Hollandaise sauce and asparagus and my husband had the. It was our first visit and we will be back!

I cant even put into words how thankful I am that I swallowed my pride and went into this place asking for much needed help. I admitted I didnt know jack about fishing. He gave me the dumbass award and i took it and will wear it with pride the pieces needed are not expensive at all, but whats priceless is the amount of knowledge that hes willing to pass on to his customers to ensure they have a successful but FUN time fishing! I will never go to another bait shop, my first impression was enough to secure him a temporary uneducated customer for life.

Marlys took very good care of me. I got in late & had no problems. Room very clean with a super comfy bed. I will definitely return when visiting this beautiful little town.

My father used to tell me about this place and how he used to come here with his friends when he was younger. I booked a trip for myself and a group friends to do some fishing in Sept 2019 and it didn't disappoint! We had one of the best fishing trips ever. We fished from the pier, we fished from the shore and off of the boats we rented. What a great trip! The staff here at the resort are wonderful. They are friendly and incredibly accommodating. This will continue to be a destination for me, my family and friends for hopefully many years to come. Plain and simple good old fashioned fishing resort.The way it should be!
