Simple and convenient.

Just stopped for 1 nite on a snowmobile trip. Not an extravagant room but it was clean and warm with a view and close to Lutsen.

This was an ok place to stay. The room was just big enough to fit a bed and bathroom. There was no breakfast served,as it said on their website,only muffins, hot beverages and some granola bars. The view was magnificent though,and we did enjoy the quiet

Great spot on the lake. Ambiance and decor in rooms very bland and unwelcoming. Have never had to check out before 11 in all of our travels around the world. Did not like the brand of coffee provided in the room. Worth putting up with for the location
