Gateway Lodge - Hwy B Land O Lakes WI - Historic Wisconsin Northwoods Ambience

Stopped for drinks after touring Bond Falls, it has a spectacular Northwoods ambience - love the atmosphere - make sure you check out the lounge

Checked out this lodge just as a place to sleep for the night during our trip up to Lake Superior, and I was pleased with my experience. It was only $86 for the night, with free coffee in the morning and they would have provided breakfast prior to the pandemic. It's an old lodge that gives off a very vintage vibe, and very clean. No elevators, but we expected that for this type of establishment. When we got up to our room, we were surprised at how immaculately clean the room was. I guess sometimes when you stay in hotels for under $100 you expect it to be pretty bad. But we were impressed. Clean, modern bathrooms. Cabin style decor and furniture that gave it that cozy feel. No central air, but each room has an AC unit, and it worked VERY well. It was different than what we were used to staying in, but we loved it because it was part of the journey to the north woods. I would definitely stay here again if passing through. It's a great spot to lay your head to rest for the night or to stay for a few days even.

The Guides Inn in Boulder Junction is awesome. Rachel, our server, took great care of us - her 16…read moreyears of hospitality and experience was evident. Everything was excellent - appetizer, Walleye Cheek fritters, relish tray w/ liver pate & garlic/ herb butter spread, mushroom/ truffle bisque, spinach salad w/ hot bacon dressing (or fresh garden salad, your choice) - entrees were perfect - pan fried walleye, coquilles St James, coquilles St Osep - delicious. This Supper Club is a Northwoods and Wisconsin Supper Clubs book stalwart.

When I was a kid, our yearly vacation was to a primitive Fishing Camp in Land O' Lakes Wisconsin…read more No hot water, no tub or shower, primitve toilet and no AC. I learned early I didn't give a damn about fishing, and even less about 2 weeks in a primitive fishing camp. Every few days we had to go re-stock supplies (mostly beer for the grownups) and it was a trip to Boulder Junction to do so. I couldn't wait for those trips to get away from the crushing boredom of the camp. Back then, (60's) Boulder Junction was speck of fly-shit on the map of Wisconsin, quaint and gemütlichkeit as it was. In the 21st century, it ain't much bigger, but it sure has grown in vibe. It's now an artsy-crunchy village of shops and places for the well-to-do who have their summer joints in the vicinity to have a cocktail and a bite to eat. The Guides Inn had the highest YELP rating and was close to our Hotel on the night we arrived, so it got the nod. It's a Wisconsin Supper club, dressed a notch up. The gruff fellow at the bar (who was gruff at some other folks, not us) eased up and took care of us admirably, crafting divine Brandy OldFashioneds which balmed the edge off the 400mile+ ride from Chicago. There were a bunch of us, and they could not fit our entire group at one table, so we were in 4-top tribes. Not perfect, but it was OK. There was an amuse-bouche relish tray-haven't seen one of those in a while. Typical of Wisco Supper clubs these days, there were surprises on the menu. In this case Walleye Cheeks. If you've ever been to a fine Spanish/Basque resto, you might have had Kokotxas (Cod Cheeks) which are among the finest Tapas you can get (and an apt delivery system for Garlic, Chilis and Olive Oil). There's a pocket of very tender and tasty meat on the side of certain fishes heads called "cheeks" (it makes sense, n'est ce pas?) and on a Walleye, which is a fine eating fish in any preparation, the "Cheeks" are indeed a delicacy. They were breaded/fried here and totally yum. The onion soup was, as well. My Entree was Beef Wellington (another dish you might not suspect from a Wisco Supper club in the middle of nowhere) and it was top-notch. Accompanied by Wild Rice-There's the Northwoods signature. Wife had a regular Filet Mig which she reported was fine. Service was good, and the decor a step up, like I indicated previously, from a garden-variety Wisco Supper Club. The CHECK, however, was closer to downtown Chicago than the map might suggest. Not the bargain bill you usually find at Supper Clubs, but I'll say the dear prices were commensurate with the bread and circuses. A pleasant evening in a pleasant place...

My wife and I were in town with our exchange students (from Italy and Spain), we had an expectation…read morethat we would have a hard time finding amazing food and did struggle the first few days with average results. Then as we sat at a local dive, I stumbled on Finn & Feather and we left, drove 95mph and made it (with an hour and half to spare as they are on Central time!). I am so glad we made that move, drinks were great, food was AMAZING! Our exchange students tried the ELK steak my wife ordered for the first time (and first time for me as well) and it was simply perfection! My old fashioned was spot on. I'm a steak guy, my steak was the GUIDES cut (I was skeptical), but HOLY COW, what a piece of meat, cooked to my exact standards (my Dad was a butcher) and the piece was a very generous portion given the price after cooking even. Ok, so I would leave it there, but I can NOT, the deserts were home-made, the in-house cream alone was fabulous and the cake we had was out of this world. Our only minor complaint, the broccolini needs some seasoning, but overall it was so minor, we wouldn't worry too much about it. If you are up North, an even within an hour, make the trip to this amazing restaurant sitting buried right on the shores of Lake Gogebic. It was so good, we heard they were doing a lobster boil the next night, we booked reservations on the spot and came back the next night! Special shout-out to our waiter and the whole staff - it was the Labor Day weekend and they made us feel special, included and the food - oh the food - so good! Don't miss this special place on your next trip up north!

My brother and I really enjoyed our meal. The smoked vinegar and salt chicken wings were perfect…read moreand among the best I've had. Ty my were very sensitive to my gluten free needs and had many options for me. The waitress was fantastic. And the view is outstanding. Don't miss this 'best of the UP' spot.
