I don't even want to tell people how much I liked this hotel in fear it will become too popular! Right on the cliffs of Lake Superior with fantastic views from our room balcony. Great location with easy drive north or south on the North Shore. Owners/managers helpful and caring! Basic clean rooms with up north decor. Looking forward to coming back!

This is a great location to all the parks and hikes in the area. It was not full service, but we don’t go up north for a fancy hotel experience. Anything you needed could be gotten. There was a feeling of rustic while feeling comfortable. The owners are very helpful and friendly. I’m going back next year.
