We partnered at Delton Oaks Resort and received complimentary accommodations in exchange for our review. All opinions are my own 🙂
So this summer has been a bit odd. We won’t pretend that it’s not a national pandemic and everyone hasn’t gone a little crazy right now. With that said, after a full spring of quarantine we needed to get out of the house – somewhere where there wasn’t going to be a million people packed around us at the same time though. We also knew that driving anywhere (because no one is flying right now) with two small kids was going to require somewhere within a short distance for multiple sanity factors. With all of that taken into consideration, we decided that Wisconsin Dells was our best option. We had stayed at Delton Oaks Resort before and knew it would be the perfect place to return to with our family!
POOL & BEACH
We also brought our boat with us to the resort since it is right on the lake there, so we had many different options when it came to enjoying the great outdoors. Though even without the boat, the girls loved swimming in the pool and playing at the beach. I told Tyler that we probably didn’t need to bring the boat all the way over there since we barely used it (there was so much else to do!)
The girls as usual, loved their pool. It was perfect for a swim in the heat, and it was a nice short walk from our room. The nice part is, when they get tired of swimming in the pool, you just walk down to the beach, get out the sand toys and let them play some more! It’s the best of both worlds.
LAKE DELTON
Of course since we brought our boat along, we had to take a few wake surf runs out on Lake Delton. Though the lake itself doesn’t get very deep, we managed to get a pretty good wake going and had fun out in the sun. When/if you take a tour on the Wisconsin Ducks, they also go right by the resort which is fun to see. My girls both loved taking the tour and thought it was fun to ride in a car that also could go on the water!
MEALS
To save a little money, we stopped at the grocery store up the road and stocked up on groceries, paper plates and plastic cutlery. This made it easy for snacks, breakfasts, etc. and then you don’t end up going out to eat for every meal (which not only adds up financially but it’s usually not the healthiest food you end up eating either!)
It was very nice to have a full kitchen to use for this! Outside there was also a grill to use, which was an extra bonus as well. It was perfect for burgers, brats/hot dogs, grilled chicken, etc. So we saved quite a bit on eating out by just making our meals right there in our room.
We had such a fun stay that it went by way too fast! The girls were sad to leave. Now we will have to plan next summer’s trip soon! If you’re looking to book a stay, you can visit Delton Oaks Resort online or call (608) 253-4092 for reservations. If you want one of these bigger units, make sure you ask for one right on the lake. It’s such a beautiful view and you’re close to everything!
If you take a trip out, make sure you come back and let me know how you liked it!
Until next time,
Sarah
