Beautiful and Peaceful

“I was incredibly pleased with our king room, which was immaculately clean and had a bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud. The sliding glass door offered a magnificent view of Lake Superior right outside our room, making every moment spent inside a joy. The unique touch of an alarm clock hidden in the closet instead of a regular phone added character to our stay!” view full review

Excellent Service and Beautiful Views

“I truly enjoyed the large breakfast area with picture windows that faced the amazing lake. Even though the breakfast was simple, the oatmeal bars and coffee provided were a lovely bonus that allowed us to fuel our adventure-filled days. The atmosphere was inviting, and we definitely appreciated the extra effort made by the management.” view full review

Peaceful setting with fantastic lake view from your room

“The bedroom provided us with a cozy northwoods feel, enhanced by the natural wood walls. I loved being able to leave the patio door open at night to hear the gentle waves rolling in. Waking up to the serene view of Lake Superior from our bed was a good experience that I will cherish.” view full review

A wonderful stay

“The bathroom was nicely appointed and impeccably clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We found the thick and absorbent towels very comforting after long days of exploration. Everything in the bathroom was functional, and it perfectly complemented the overall comfort of our room.” view full review

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, where the views of Lake Superior from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking. The owners made me feel right at home with their warm hospitality and local tips. While the rooms were a bit on the smaller side, they were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was truly delightful, but the noise from the road could be a bit distracting. Overall, it was a great place to unwind and enjoy some quality time by the lake.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel with a breathtaking view of Lake Superior from my balcony. The room was recently renovated and impeccably clean, making it very comfortable for my stay. The breakfast options were plentiful, and the morning chats with the owners were a nice touch. However, the tall stairs to the second floor could be challenging for those with mobility issues. Overall, it's a beautiful spot that provides great value for money, but I recommend booking early as it gets full quickly.
