We did not meet the staff at all but to be fair we were not there very long. The shared kitchen area was nice and the view off the deck was beautiful. We went for dinner when we got there at the Gunflint lodge and the dinner (and breakfast) were very good! If you want to cook there you can in the shared area but you pretty much need to bring everything as expected. We didn't have any coffee but some friendly people that were staying shared with us. We left in the morning so it was just a quick overnight stay but very glad we stayed.

This is a quaint property near the end of the GunFlint Trail near the Boundry Waters. The rooms have their own mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. On the lake side is a huge deck overlooking the lake with cushioned seats and BBQ. There is a fully furnished community kitchen and game room.TV, fireplace, games and books for guest use. There is a fire pit on the lower level. It isn't fancy but very affordale and comfortable. Well worth the drive. Bring your own groceries, no close shopping.

The location of the property is great. We took one of the lodge's canoes out daily, which was an amazing bonus and experience. In the shared common room/kitchen, there are ample games and puzzles. The room has an air conditioner should the weather warrant it. If you have a pet, the rooms are pet friendly. We had a really good stay. Why not five stars? There is a boat landing adjacent to the property, which brings some vehicles in the early mornings. The rooms are pet friendly.

Jessica was very responsive and friendly. The room was clean. Kitchen facilities were great. Was extremely disappointed to see that the hot tub was covered up with a sign that said for private use only, as the hot tub was a major draw in booking the stay.
