Love Alderwood! I’ve gone yearly for the last 5 years and I’ll keep coming back. Perfect Northwoods get away.
Serene, beautiful setting. Sandy shore, kayaks & canoes available. Private fire pit & pier. We biked, kayaked, hiked & used our SUP we brought along. Ate out at Manny’s, Aberdeen, Smokeys, & coffee shop. Explored shops in town & Boulder Junction. Star gazing was amazing.
Northwoods perfection! Clean comfortable cabins and a beautiful private beach. Everyone should have such a wonderful place to get away!
We had a great time at the resort with family have been coming for years swimming boating and fishing and evening fires to sit by going again next year
This was the perfect medicine for a busy mind and hectic work routine. Just what me and my family needed, we even brang the dogs with us and had a blast. The silence, the lakefront, they even brought some fresh sand for the swiming area, everything was just divine. We are all excited to come back next year and have a relaxing experience again. Great job from the resort, highly recommend.
My family rents out the big lodge every July. We absolutely love it. The recent additions and remodeling looks great. The little gift shop is fun and reasonably priced. The view is beautiful and there is always something to do. I recommend this resort to anyone looking to get away with the family. The only downside is that long winding road around the lake to finally get there.
Alderwood resort is a great place to stay. Lovely lake views and nice amenities. Plenty of opportunities for land and water activities. High demand makes getting a reservation here near impossible and staff could be a bit more accommodating considering the premium they charge for the resort. Of the resort itself I cannot give enough praise to the location. Beautiful views of Alder lake and excellent sunrises over the lake. The lake is open to the public so expect moderate to heavy boat traffic while navigating the nearby waterways and enjoying the lakeside views.
A million dollar view from the cabin. Everything was great and there's so much provided for you at the cabin. Clean and neat.
