Natura VUE Resort & Boathouse
Riverside suites with a private outdoor pool
About this hotel
Natura VUE Resort & Boathouse sits on the Upper Wisconsin River with views of the water and an outdoor riverside patio and dock, a genuinely different setting from the standard Lake Delton hotel cluster. Suite rooms include a 50-inch flat-screen TV, coffee machine and free toiletries, and the private outdoor pool, onsite restaurant and lounge mean a family can spend a full evening without leaving the property. A river walk can be enjoyed directly from the grounds, and Rick Wilcox Magic Theatre sits 2.8 kilometres away, Crystal Grand Music Theatre five kilometres out. Dane County Regional Airport is 65 kilometres from the property. Couples rate the location exceptionally well, a strong signal for a multi-generational booking.

Our take
A genuinely distinctive riverside setting rather than a standard hotel block, with a private outdoor pool and a real restaurant and lounge on site. It suits a family who wants a calmer evening view over walking distance to Noah's Ark. Families prioritizing proximity to the water parks themselves should book a Lake Delton property closer to the action instead.
- ✓Book a river-facing suite specifically for the evening view; the riverside dock is a genuine after-dinner spot worth requesting.
- ✓Use the onsite restaurant for at least one dinner rather than hunting for a table that seats a tired family of five.
- ✓Take the river walk directly from the grounds on a non-water-park morning for a change of pace.

Why guests love itThe riverside dock turned into the actual highlight of the trip, a quiet spot to sit after dinner while the kids wound down from a full day of slides. Having an onsite restaurant meant we skipped the usual scramble to find a table that could seat five tired people. It's not the closest hotel to Noah's Ark on this list, but the riverside setting and the private pool made up for the slightly longer drive each morning.
