Spectacular view offering a peaceful & tranquil view from the comfort of your room! This is the most charming place with extremely friendly owners who can't do enough for their guests. The down to earth atmosphere gives a sense of home away from home and if you're receptive to making friends, simply walk outside enjoy conversing with other travelers on the deck or around a fire. Im sad to leave here but I will absolutely be

Not the best

Place was older, but bed was comfortable and place was clean. There was an odor by the door, not sure if place is on a slab, as maybe have been a dead animal. That was the worst of it.

Carla was super nice and accommodating of our delayed check in, and even provided a map of local foods with recommendations! The room was super clean, comfortable, and had an amazing view of Lake Superior right outside our door. 10/10 would stay again.
Sunset right outside our room
Lake Superior is right across the street, with plenty of lawn chairs to view from, and a bonfire pit too!

Beautiful scenery around the hotel, but not much else within walking distance. Carla was very friendly and helpful in finding local restaurants. The room was ok with a 1980's hotel feel. The only significant downside was that that internet and wifi transmitters were terrible, it would only stay connected for about 3 minutes before kicking me off ,and during that time the Internet speed was equivalent to dial up, making it unusable.
