If you are looking for a place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, that lives up to the images conjured up by the word âretreatâ, Wild Rice Retreat is unbeatable in every way. Tucked away just south of Bayfield, gateway to the only National Park in Wisconsin, youâll find yourself immersed in the natural beauty of the lodging built from locally-sources and eco-friendly
materials. Yoga classes are led by the owner who is welcoming and friendly to newcomers of yoga, as are the front desk staff, and free to guests, as is the sauna. The food is both nutritious and delicious, a rare combination! My partner and I discovered the retreat through Expedia, with the intent to find a nice place to stay while exploring Apostle Islands and Bayfield, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that many of the guests were there for the community experience of an all-inclusive wellness expedition! If thatâs not what youâre looking for or want, thatâs okay too-staff and guests are accommodating of your needs. Overall, it was a superb experience that makes you fall in love with Wisconsin (again) if youâve been too busy to enjoy it, or are a first-timer to the state!
