Fred Thomas Resort

This resort is the best resort we have ever been to. When we first arrived they remembered us by name and offered to help unload our vehicle. Ted helped my husband back our boat into the water and when it wouldn't start got in the water and pulled us over to boat shelter. We had numerous problems with our boat and when we were working on it Ted gave suggestions and gave us tools we didn't have. I have NEVER known a resort to help so much with something that wasn't their problem. I cut my leg pretty good and Aaron took a look at it and brought his huge medical bag over and bandaged me up. Once again NEVER known a resort to offer such service. The staff here are AMAZING and the accommodations were very nice and comfortable. The views are wonderful the other guests are VERY friendly and helpf

I find it a real shame that my issue w this resort has come to me leaving this review. I went up to this place probably 20 times in the last 40 years. I enjoyed my time up there, and FTR had a special place in my heart. This week, an issue over the cabin and deposit has led me to this. Last summer, 2024, I was fortunate enough to get my own cabin on the resort for my first time. While I was up there, a friend of mine had told me that the people who were formally in my cabin, may want it back. I never had a problem with that, especially because I like the people who wanted the cabin back. This takes me to Thur, July 4, when I was checking out after the picnic. I spoke w Ted’s assistant while checking out and there was never a mention of me not getting cabin 8. I left my deposit for Summer o

Clean cabins, great property upkeep, friendly staff. Has fish cleaning cabin with refrigeration and deep freezer. Boat launch is a bit tricky but take it slow and you're good to go. Covered boat slips are great but watch your head!

My wife and I have stayed at many resorts and vacation homes throughout Northern Wisconsin over the past 50 years. We stayed at Fred Thomas Resort in late August 2017. This will be one of our very few "repeats" if cabin #12 is ever available when we want it.||We rented a nice pontoon boat (well equipped for fishing) at the resort. ||Fishing was good although it took a few days to find the good spots on Chetek which is a big lake. ||The staff was great, and we got all the bait we needed at the resort. One incredible service that we have never encountered before is an inexpensive fish cleaning service run by some high school age kids at the resort. They fillet everything from panfish to Norhern Pike every day.||We like to end our day with a visit to a local supper club and/or casino. Althoug

Super friendly, attentive and helpful staff and owner. Allowed us to use the garage for storage in a pinch, unexpectedly nice sitting areas, electric car charging, Solar, recycling, great for boaters, beautiful lake with islands to explore. Off-Road vehicle friendly resort with easy access to trails a mile away. On site fuel truck available. Private boat launch. Super happy with our experience here on Lake Chetek at Fred Thomas Resort.
