Got a great deal for a two night stay at this gorgeous bed and breakfast on Living Social. We went…read morein the summer (August, 2012) which I mention only because they are open in the Winter as well. This home is absolutely gorgeous!! Les and Carol may seem a little less than gregarious at first but they open up in due time. Les has some interesting hunting stories! The food that Carol makes for breakfast is a) healthy, at least the fruit course, b) creative and homemade, and c) some of the best food you may ever have. You can expect coupons for the "sports bar" in Crystal Falls and for the supper club just north of town. I may fill out reviews of both places to help others make a decision about either place should they also choose to go. Let me just say here that the sports bar is not like any sports bar to which I am accustomed and the Westwood Supper Club will meet with mixed reviews. I offer as proof the fact that another couple that was at the Inn while we were there went to the supper club and had a pleasant experience. If you choose to read the reviews of Westwood II, you will see that service is an issue mostly, with food issues coming in a distant second. We were unfortunate to have both. It took over two hours to complete our dinner and my filet was a bit undercooked. Before any wise acre starts in on why not just go elsewhere - if you are there you will learn there are not many places to eat nearby. With that being said, I read some of the other reviews on the Listening Inn. Not sure why Frank has to comment negatively on Norm's experience. As I discussed our experience with my travel companion, we came to the conclusion that it is likely that other B & B's may be very different, and certainly may not be for everyone. However, it IS good to read about the experiences of those who have been there: good, bad, or ugly. The pine stairway is a little dangerous, especially going down it - but it is absolutely gorgeous. So, it just depends on how one looks at things. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would go back again. I would like to see the place in the Winter. If you choose to go, make sure that you share your opinions, likes and dislikes so that others may make an informed choice. I would also like to add that because we got the two day deal, we were able to go on a 3+ hour canoe trip with a small lunch provided. If it is hot I recommend bringing more to drink! They provide each person a bottle of water but one may find that more is needed. Beautiful views, beautiful house and an overall good experience. WiFi is available at the Inn, but it is very slow, for those who have an interest. And the travel companion says: The chance to see bears up close is a unique and exciting experience!

Carol, You have totally missed your calling - as it most assuredly is not running a bed and…read morebreakfast! May I suggest you start by Google-ing "customer service" and maybe waving your eyes over it to see if you can get an idea of how to treat customers. First, the Listening Inn is appropriately named because you can hear everything that goes on in the place because the walls are so thin. Checking in was scarey and almost turned us around in the first 15 minutes to send us looking for another place to stay. We had purchased a living social deal and since we had called and made the reservations and then followed up again to check on the reservations just a couple of days prior to our arrival, we didn't bother "printing" out the voucher. Also, because with these deals you can usually use your smart phone to bring it up we failed to print it out. Well Carol pointed out to us clearly and in no uncertain terms that we were supposed to print it out. This was reiterated to us a few times while I am scrambling to get on the computer and bring up the living social voucher. When I finally did get it, she said we didn't need to bring it all the way up as she had the info she needed. Seriously!!! Oh, did I mention we were not greeted nor welcomed to the Inn as we arrived and said we were there to check in. She then walks us up to the room via the stairs which I will mention in the "safety" segment, as she is lighting the gas heater in our room, she hits us with a bunch of rules which start with quiet time starts at 9 PM and the front door is locked at 11 PM. I asked (nicely enough I believe) if the room key fits the front door. She very sternly lets us know that it does not. Says again that the door locks at 11 and that if we don't like it we could check out now! We were to say the least a little taken aback. After spending 20 years in the military I can handle some rules but, OMG I am an adult and sure didn't need that kind of crap. We actually spent some time in bewilderment and considered leaving as we were pondering our options. We had just driven 5 plus hours to a desolate location, it was now dark and did not look forward to picking up at night and trying to find another location and not knowing if we would get refunded. We decided to stay. I can tell space will not allow me to really go into detail so... Safety - I think there are laws about some of this stuff and someone should look into it: That spiral stair case I think is not engineered correctly and really needs to be looked at. Isn't there something about floor levels changing yet the color being the same? Serious tripping hazard in a place you have to watch your head. Steps down in rec room in dimly lit area - partner actually did trip on it. Skiing and snowshoeing was great! Food was average - oh and only one hour time window for breakfast. Not allowed to take food into upper-level room but no offer to use kitchen, yet not many choices of anything nearby as far as dining facilities. We left Sunday morning right after breakfast. Before we drove 5-minutes away we received a call on my phone. The phone was in my jacket in the back. By the time we got the phone we missed the call. The message, the phone hanging up from - the Listening Inn. To sum up - the area was great for skiing and snowshoeing! The potential of that facility really is amazing and there - just not for those folks who are running it. Maybe they could visit a B&B or two to get a clue and again look up customer service. We did not drive up there to go to an event and sleep here - this was the event - the destination! There is so much more I could say but whew....

The lugnuts were so tight, I couldn't budge them, and I am usually pretty strong and self-sufficient. The owner of Crystal Waters Resort not only pulled over to make sure I was ok, he even loosened the lugnuts for me so I could change my tire. He even waited and blocked off the street so I would be safe while doing so. This type of hospitality helping a stranger, I can only imagine how much above and beyond he would go for his guest. I have a lot of family in the area and visit often, I will be recommending this property to everyone I know. Thank you for your help!

The cabins were clean, cozy, and inviting, making it easy to feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We loved having access to the rowboat, and the option to rent a trolling motor made getting out on the water even more enjoyable. In the evenings, the community fire pit was the perfect place to gather, relax, and make memories, with plenty of firewood generously supplied by the owner. What really made our stay special, though, was the incredible hospitality. The owners were so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, and their fluffy companion, Max, was the sweetest bonus! They have created a place where everyone feels welcome, comfortable, and able to truly slow down and enjoy their surroundings. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to coming back. It was the perfect getaway and a wonderful place to make memories and revisit some old ones. We can't recommend it enough!

Kira made our engagement session a truly extraordinary experience. She made us feel super…read morecomfortable, and helped us every step of the day. She started off by squeezing us in during the peak of fall colors, even though we contacted her very last minute, then followed through with tips and tricks for hair, outfits, makeup, etc. She stayed in touch regarding weather, making sure we were prepared, and even offering us a reschedule if we ended up with storms. The day of the shoot is a day that we will never forget. She was great company on our hike through the woods (and back), as well as throughout the entire session. There was no awkwardness, and we truly felt comfortable around her. Everything felt natural and effortless - she guided us through actions and poses, but we were still ourselves in each shot. She truly captured us as a couple, and also managed to turn a dreary day into an INCREDIBLY EPIC photoshoot. She used the weather and landscape to our advantage...the photos we got to peek at are breathtaking and unlike any I've ever seen. We truly can not recommend her enough, and plan on using her for all of our future needs - even though she's located in an entirely different state! From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kira Adele Photography
