Friendly warm welcoming. Cute gift shop cozy main guest cabin w/ games to borrow and neat historical items! had a small clothing closet, a bathroom w/shower, and kitchenette area with stove and fridge! patio walk out to the camp area with bonfire pit, grills, firewood pile, and a swingset play area. we stayed as family. Also the thoughtful little things they put in to this property, a dish set provided for cooking while you stay, soft blankets they placed on the bed(top notch cozy, not your regular hotel blankets) there was a little fan and space heater tucked in the closet for guests if needed, and my room had a travelers log for people to sign and leave messages from the years before. At check in she even gave us a gallon of filtered water just incase we didnt like the taste of well water. Cabins where very nice getaway for a weekend, 5 stars!

Great resort and location for us. Clean accommodations and welcoming reception when checking in. It's just a great place to stay as a jumping off point for daily activities along the northern North Shore. We'll be back again for our 6th year next year.

The perfect spot!

My daughter just finished her semester at UMD and we were looking for a place to stay by Lutsen. We like hiking at Temperance state park and spending time in Grand Marais. The location was perfect.The rooms were perfect for us. They were equipped with everything you need, even a fan. We stayed in a motel rm with a kitchenette. The view was incredible and had a deck to sit on. We walked our dog down by the lake and sat on the rocks. Our room was super clean. The beds comfortable. We will definitely come back.

Next to the lake!

This is the second time we stayed. Our motel room was knotty pine and cute but the outdated bathroom was not. However, I could see they are remodeling the motel rooms and can’t wait to return. Beautiful and historic lodge with new sauna and shower room (which I wished I had used instead of the one in room.) the check in process was great.

You get what you pay for. I stayed at the motel. Loved the lodge, views of the lake and the rooms deck area. The room was comfortable. Staff are friendly. I am ok with the dated rooms. Cons were the walls are paper thin, toilet barely flushes, bathroom wasn't clean found many long dark hairs, and had problems getting warm water.
