The resort was full to capacity but was still very peaceful. No blaring music or noisy vehicles. It was my 7th time there this year and is very consistent in good service and cleanliness. Nothing fancy, no frills. The restaurant has good food although extremely noisy in the summer but that is how their money is made.

Our stay greatly exceeded our expectations. The lodge would be quite a romantic getaway if we hadn’t been staying with two young children. The room was very clean and furnished beautifully. There was a living area downstairs that was stocked with games, books, and nice sofas with windows overlooking the big lake. It was a short drive into downtown Grand Marais, and a short hike to the Cascade Falls. The restaurant next door offers a discount with your stay and is quite tasty. The front office staff were all friendly. I hope I get the opportunity to stay here again.

We were pleasantly surprised by the peace and quiet at the site, in spite of busy North Shore traffic. We stayed in the Birdhouse cabin, which was small and cozy. It's a short walk to Lake Superior, and we enjoyed just sitting and watching the waves. However, the on-site restaurant is always crazy busy. We never got to eat there. We brought a cooler, and there was a small microwave and refrigerator in our cabin, but I wish we had brought more food with us. A lot of time was wasted finding a place to eat and waiting for service. Also, the wifi isn't the greatest, so some people might find that frustrating. Just shut off your phone and enjoy the scenery! Overall, its a beautiful place and a great location as a base while you explore the area.

Stayed in room 210. Overall, I had a great stay. Some things to keep in mind. Since the lodge is right next to Hwy 61, there is a lot of road noise from the constant traffic that is going up and down the shore (the room faced the highway and the window needed to be open to cool it down. The room got a bit warm when the temp was warm outside. Our room did not have airconditioning. There was a portable fan in the room which was a huge help. Be careful crossing the road to visit the lake as Hwy 61 is very busy during the summer months. A pedestrian crosswalk would be a good. Parking is an issue for lodge guests when it's busy. Nicely remodeled room, despite the lodge being almost 100 years old. Virtually no place to set things in the bathroom or hang clothes. Needs a soap dish next to the sink. Positives: Nicely kept up interior. I loved the atmosphere and decor. Staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Fun game room in the basement with pool table and 3 old school video games. Ice machine is also in the basement as well as coin opperated laundry, should you have need. Area across the road, lakeside, was beautiful and easy access to lake. Restaurant next door had very good food and was convenient for dinner both nights (Make sure you get there by 7:30pm as they close at 8pm, even on the weekends). Overall well-maintained property. Outside of the building could use a new paint job but that is cosmetic stuff which didn't affect my stay.

Quaint, beautiful stay

The staff was welcoming. I stayed in the main lodge. There is a cozy, large sitting area with comfortable chairs and couches to enjoy the view of the lake. They have books and games for you to use. There is a porch with chairs out front to use, unfortunately, it was raining while I was there, so I didn't sit out there. There is a rec room in the basement with a pool table and games that would be good for kids on a rainy day. My room was a cozy retreat. There isn't any a/c in the rooms but there is a fan supplied, with the window open and the fan on I slept fine. The restaurant next door has really good food. I will definitely stay here again.
