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.

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

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was tidy and clean, our view was nice. We had a big pine tree outside blocking part of the lake view but it provided nice shade so that we could sit comfortably on the deck in the afternoon sun. The bed was comfy and there's a powerful oscillating fan you can point right at it. Wi-fi was weak with an unsteady connection that kept going in and out but there were some basic cable channels that provided entertainment. There was definitely an odor coming from the bathroom area that I could smell from the bed but it's an older property that could use some tlc and little fixes like the broken lock on the screen door to the balcony as well as a good dusting of the fan. We would for sure stay here again in the future.

I would have given this property a 4/5 star rating if it wasn’t for the view for one reason the check in and check out time is an hour later than industry standard so you essentially lose 2 hours. Everything else was awesome
