We had a fantastic girls' getaway at Madden's Resort! The beautiful scenery, spacious activities, and friendly staff made our stay unforgettable. While we did run into some challenges booking spa appointments in advance, the array of activities available more than made up for it. The rooms were older but comfy, and the dining experience was a highlight with great food options nearby.

I just spent a wonderful week at Madden's on Gull Lake, where the experience was beyond what I expected! The resort features beautiful gardens and well-maintained golf courses, making it a joy to explore. My family and I enjoyed comfortably spacious accommodations, and the kids had a blast with the range of activities available. However, I felt the evening dining options were on the pricier side, and I'd love to see more variety at breakfast. Overall, it was a great value for a family vacation.
