Stopped here for our second visit in the past six months. Once again, we like the fact that the property is off the beaten path, and not in the main "core downtown area" of the city. Very wispy, winding river setting, with extremely tall pines all around - reminscent of a european villa. Many renovations had been taking place we... More

Room was clean and comfortable and a good value. Owner was extremely helpful with local information such as dining recommendations and there is a snowmobile rental shop across the street (very convenient).

Located directly on the famed Eagle River, which we're told is the access point of the areas great 28-chain of marquis lakes (which is why this is one of our most favorite resort areas of Northern Wisconsin) we always look forward to stopping at this oasis of the North when we travel the area.

This is a reasonably-priced typical northern WI spot hosted by a friendly man named Fritz. The #1 room was small but clean, and the TV and shower worked well. Fritz is a font of knowledge regarding the area, and his sightseeing tips were spot on.He was also very helpful in providing a couple of small extras that had been left... More

I stayed in cottage #1 in July 2012. The cottage is small yet offers everything you'd need for a simple get-away. The bathroom was clean and modern, and the view from the screened in porch was nice and relaxing. If you're looking for fancy, this is not. if you're looking for a convenient location, with a nice view, this is... More

You have a choice of rooms at the main inn building or a self-catering cottage of which a few... More

I have stayed at Edgewater with friends and family for over two decades and I have to say through a few owners. Fritz has been one of the most passionate people about his business, his home.
