Beautiful view of the lake, comfortable beds, and a clean room. Very friendly staff at check-in. Balcony view of the lake is wonderful, but there is no separation or privacy. When others are out on their balcony, it is as if they are sitting right outside your sliding door.

I have stayed here often when I visit the North Shore. The rooms are lovely, but the balconies over the lake cannot be beaten. I generally make coffee in the room and sit on the balcony in the morning, but coffee, tea, and light breakfast items are available. The staff is always friendly, and the area is quiet for those looking to relax.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The balcony view was perfect; the room was tasteful, beds comfortable, crisp linens ( not the cheap, clingy microfiber bedding, thankfully). Quiet room, helpful staff, nice common areas. Would definitely recommend, and as a little getaway ( I live only an hour inland) it cannot be beat. Good access to hiking and biking, and of course the serenity of Lake Superior.

The room had a great view of Lake Superior, located close to different attractions. Great smell of wild roses! Cons: No AC, I made the assumption that all hotels had AC, I was wrong. Private balconies are not private, they are separate, but you are within slapping distance of your neighbors.

We had an amzing view. There was a storm that came thru the first night and power was out until 5am. But we still had running water. Beds were comfortable. I left something in the room, cliff dweller staff contacted me and shipped it for shipping plus $5. I would absolutely stay here again.
