McIntyre’s Resort

Great place for camping! It’s right on the water, has few canoes to use at no additional charge and there’s plenty of space. We’re coming here every 4^th of July and we love it each time more and more. Pat, the owner is super super nice. I recommend this place with all my heart!!!

McIntyre’s is a beautiful, relaxing break from busy city life. My boyfriend and I rented one of the cabins in hopes of getting back to nature and taking a break from loud, chaotic city life. McIntyre’s was perfect for what we wanted. The cabins are right on the lake with a beautiful view. There’s a fire pit near the lake for bonfires. Hiking nearby is beautiful and relaxing. The cabin has everything that you would need. Pat, the owner, is so sweet and very welcoming. McIntyre’s is perfect for a no-​frills, inexpensive, back-​to-​nature vacation! I highly recommend it!

need a quick back-​to-​nature woodsy fresh air and cool lake escape from Chicago? look no further. these cottages are perfect, clean, cozy and super adorable — and so is the community. great hiking nearby, wine, gift shops, drives, and bars/​restaurants/​fun if you need to seek it out. pet-​friendly, too. a perfect place and i can’t wait to return. the owner absolutely ENSURES you will have a relaxing, perfect, don’t-need-anything stay. she’s awesome.

Seeking shelter during the PJ20 festival (yeah!), we stayed here for 3 nights and had a great experience. The campgrounds are located on Turtle Lake on a private residence. The owners are very friendly and accomodating — donuts and coffee were available in the morning for purchase, and in the afternoon/​evening (and even at 3am when you get back from the concert) they are grilling brats and burgers. Although the shoreline is filled with lillypads, making swimming challenging, there are rowboats available (no charge) and further out the water is great for swimming without any impediments. The lake was much larger than I had expected. The only downside here is that there are no personal firepits… but there are 3 shared firepits. Also, in terms of personal hygiene, you will be roughing it. Porta potties, porta showers (aka cold water), and gender specific outhouses are available. Personally, I like having a hot shower available and working potties, but that didn’t take away any of the awesomeness of the weekend.
I will definitely come back to McIntyre’s. It is about 20 – 25 minutes from Alpine Valley, the campground is well-​kept and clean, the area is scenic, and most importantly, the owners were very nice. They were nice enought to allow 300 PJ fans to camp and get a bit rowdy at times. A memorable weekend at a great place.
*There are two cabins available for rent, but I cannot speak for those since I stayed in a tent.*
