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

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.

This is a great budget option. We’ve stayed at many places along superior and depending on our budget, we’d never think twice about booking here. Perfect location right on the lake.

The property is on a cliff over Lake Superior. Wonderful look and sound of waves, the unit 205 was very clean and renovated. The hotel is small and so is a breakfast, it still good to have, I only wish it would be provided earlier.
