Lovely, prime location, and very peaceful. I loved the more vintage lodging vibe. The trees and lake views are priceless. We appreciated the new grills and wagons! The bed was comfy and clean. My only suggestion is the windows all need deep cleaning of webs and spiders. As do the screen doors - they need replacing and tightening/secured locks. The blinds in our room are also looking rough. These were small but noticeable things but the good things exceeded these!!

This is a very nice place. My wife and our two kids are thinking of coming back here again the future. If there is only downside is everthing is pretty much far away (Grand Marais) such as nice grocery stores and reasonable restaurants. Other than that, this place is nice.

Very nice rustic option for those not wanting to pay the standard resort prices on the north shore. Great location on the north side of Lutsen with easy access to the Superior Hiking Trail. We stayed in the motel section. The rooms are a little outdated but great for the price! Each has a small kitchenette that provides the option of some easy meals in the room. We enjoyed breakfast here each morning before setting off on our daily adventures to see the nearby waterfalls. They were also in process of updating the motel room bathrooms. The staff was super friendly and we enjoyed some great conversation upon check-in.

Solbakkon has kept the old school feel of the lake resort. We stayed in the motel part that was pet friendly. The room was dated, but expected. Everything was clean. A small kitchenette and dishes where perfect for breakfast. Walking around the property was beautiful. And the lodge was great with games and hang out space. The staff was friendly, even sweet treats offered!! We also stayed warm and comfortable in negative degrees.
