Heartwood Resort

"Love The Heartwood, but it was sold in late January 2024, and is now a private camp. Have stayed their every summer for the last dozen years. Heartbroken over The Heartwood."

"Thank you to Heartwood Resort for hosting our wedding reception this past November! If you are looking for a venue in the Northwest area, I can't recommend Heartwood enough! Heartwood is a hidden gem, tucked away in the woods which allows for a quiet, private and intimate experience. The building itself is beautiful, a true testimony to an elegant, up north dining/lodging/celebrating experience located on a private lake, surrounded by woods...total cabin vibe! The staff at Heartwood are phenomenal! Thank you to the chefs and bartenders for providing the amazing food, drinks and service all night long! Thank you to the set up/clean up and overall cleaning crew for keeping the venue, hotel rooms and cabins spotless all weekend! And a big thank you to Heather, the event coordinator at Heartwood who helped plan our special night for the past 11 months. We did not have a wedding planner but Heather made us feel like we did. She was always available for communication, brought our vision and itinerary to life and emphasized all of our ideas. Heather was flexible and eager to assist from the little details to last minute changes - she was there for us. We felt so supported throughout the whole process and very confident that all would go well because of Heather....and it did. The night was perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing! Thank you to Heather and Heartwood staff for all of your hard work and understanding how special this day was to us! Please consider Heartwood to host your next event or even take a vacation getaway there and enjoy all the amenities they have to offer in the Northwoods! Enjoy! - Maddie and Joe Chucka"

"Our son and fiancee had their wedding and reception at Heartwood in October and we were completely happy with every aspect of our experience. From planning to day of execution of the event, the staff (Judy, Heather, Jenna and Chef Steve) couldn't have been any more supportive. 90% of our guests stayed at Heartwood which was super convenient. Some rented houses, cabins or had rooms at the lodge, all were super happy with their accommodations. Made it so easy to have everything from the Groom's Dinner, wedding and reception all in one place! The dinner at the reception was fantastic. All our guests complimented us on the quality of the food. Thanks Chef Steve. We had a buffet with chicken and fish, vegetarian option too. Everything was outstanding. Only limitation for guests was that there was no on premise restaurant available due to remodel. However, all of our guests were completely fine with bringing in food to cook in their rooms or to make the short trip to Spooner or Danbury for meals not associated with the wedding. Thanks again Heather, Judy, Chef Steve and Jesse, for making our families' big day so special and hassle free!"

"My husband and I recently had our wedding at Heartwood and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The food was outstanding (all of our guests were impressed) and the staff were beyond wonderful! Shout out to Heather and Jenna for making everything run smoothly and look beautiful despite the weather being disrespectful to our schedule. They really helped ease all my bridal worries! Highly would recommend them for any special event!"

"Nice little weekend with my son. I have been here about 8 years ago and not much has changed. Some of that it good but the Cottage still has what seems to be the same beds and furniture. The porch hasn't been cleaned in a while. Everything needs a little update and attention to detail. Food offerings are sad that they can't figure out a little something, luckily the cottage has a full kitchen. This still a cool resort but needs a little love."
