From the time we checked in, service was great. Staff friendly, service efficient. The room is basic, but very clean. We parked right in front of our door. There were dishes and pans and a 2 burner stove perfect for whipping up breakfast and a grill off a private deck to grill dinner. Tables and chairs outside for our convenience. Great place to stay if you are looking for reasonable, clean, friendly and dog friendly. We will be sure to go back.

Such a magical setting. Like out of a novel. If you like rustic charm you will love this place.

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 The rooms are a little outdated but great for the price!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.
