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.

ok room for the cost

Pros: Patio facing the lake.
Cons: they need to add air conditioning for sleep!
Location: Lutsen, Grand Marais, State Parks
If you are here to sleep only it's a ok hotel. It has the bare minimum's however doesn't have air conditioning. I realize it's northern MN so usually not necessary but sometimes you need it.
