We arrived around 9PM and didn't know the check-in procedure. I called the host, Jennifer, who lives on site and she was very helpful. The Lodge looked really nice and the setting was right on the lake but since we arrived late and, we only had time to sleep and check out the next morning. We look forward to booking Sag Lodge again in the future so that we can spend more quality time there.

Small room with no view. Common kitchen is well equipped. Games, books, and the only TV are there. Canoes and sauna are nice bonuses. Sag Lodge is an hour from Grand Morais.

Gorgeous, remote spot

My partner and I stayed two nights with our 1 year old pup and had a great time. The roads up the Gunflint were well plowed and the hosts gave us instructions for an easy self check-in. The room was affordable, clean, the bed was comfortable, and the upstairs shared kitchen/community space has a large deck overlooking the lake. Hosts were great with communication.

Nice Place - Communication could be better.

Booked through Hotels.com and the “Special Instructions” were misleading. They said we’d get a confirmation email to fill out. Nothing ever came. The grade I gave for “Service” was because I couldn’t get anyone to answer Saganaga Lodge’s phone. That’s the bad. Now the good. Drove to the lodge and had no problem figuring out which rooms were ours. The rooms were very clean , as was the common kitchen/TV area. We only stayed the one night, but I found it to be comfortable, affordable and very scenic. I’d stay there again.
