5230 Livin’ The Dream Way, Eagle River, WI 54521, USA
Jason and Nichole have clearly built something special in northern Wisconsin. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and the welcoming atmosphere that keeps families and groups coming back year after year. The river tubing and kayaking experiences draw particular praise, with guests describing their floats as peaceful, beautiful, and well-organized from start to finish. Beyond the water activities, the campground and food offerings add real value to the experience. The fish fry and ice cream get specific shoutouts, and staff like Reese are called out by name for exceptional service. One reviewer notes a significant drop-off near the water's edge, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're visiting with younger kids. That aside, the overwhelming feedback points to a genuinely fun, well-run destination that earns its loyal repeat visitors.
Our Living the Dream kayak float was so beautiful and peaceful. Nicole and her husband provided excellent and professional service. We can’t wait to come back next year and do the Bucket List Tour. 🤩 ice cream was a great way to end the day after all that paddling!
