10/10 Exceptional

A great place to stay, overlooking Lake Superior
Shelley, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to Lutsen and beautiful view!

Great place to stay while skiing at Lutsen. Nice size room and fantastic deck overlooking Lake Superior. Breakfast items are very limited and closest restaurant is 3 miles away. We were there during a snowstorm so parking lot was full of snow with the truck coming twice a day to remove the snow. Great pricing compared to other hotels in the area.
Eric, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved it!

The only thing we wished was different was that the TV was larger and in the middle of the room and that there was better outlets for charging the devices. Otherwise I loved it there.And I know I will stay again
