Its highly walkable location allows for stopping in at the local grocery store, Dixie's coffee shop, Manny's or the park to get a quick swim in. Although nice and friendly staff, this is a 4-star hotel. We were so excited for our wedding weekend and unfortunately as Bride & Groom, nothing with done to make up feel special for our day. Disappointed after all the planning and having our guests stay together, that the Lodge didn't put in the 5-star service we were expecting. Great hotel if you're looking to check out the area, not great for a special occasion stay.

It's that kind of place for me, my family and my friends. The hosts Steve and Jill are top-notch. They treat you like family and are always working to ensure our stay is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. The lodge is special, filled with history, art, fish and relics of the north woods. It truly is a treat to hang out at the bar enjoying the view of the beautiful lake the property sits on. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the amenities are fantastic. The lake is incredible, it rarely has any boating activity. The water is clear and clean for swimming, kayaking and fishing. The fishing in this lake is absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough good things about staying here and I look forward to getting back out there in the Spring. It's going to be a long winter!!

We…read morewere referred to Crystal Bell by a friend who said the B&B is charming and the owners are wonderful, even that didn't prepare us for the amazing experience we had at Crystal Bell. Donna and Mike renovated the entire house and put their personal touches in the most thoughtful ways. The place is meticulously cleaned, decorated, and organized. We were greeted with home made cookies and offered wide range of delicious drinks by Donna, followed by a tour of the house when Donna and Mike shared with us the history of the house, it immediately impressed my husband and I how much they love to host their guests and how much they love the place. They have VERY high standards for themselves on the experience they want their guests to have. They have everything you could ever need on a trip ready for you where/when you need it, Mike even offered me a leg pillow! The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfy. The next morning, our breakfast was egg ham croissants, rhubarb shortcakes and grapefruits, all sorts of beverages options, and to top it off, each of us were given a piece of freshly baked pastry for our long drive back to Chicago. I use Yelp frequently but rarely wrote reviews. I feel compelled to write about Donna and Mike and their lovely B&B. Highly recommend this place for a home away from home, whether for a girlfriend weekend getaway, family reunions and other group functions, they truly embody MidWest warmth and hospitality!

We stayed in the Guest House. It was exactly what we were looking for -- comfort, peace and quiet, but working internet. Felt very welcomed by Eva and Colten. Yummy welcome treats were an added bonus. If you are in the Guest House, plan on taking a bath instead of a shower. First-class bathtub, but the shower curtain will invade your personal space otherwise. Would absolutely stay there again if "in the neighborhood." It's worth a few extra dollars compared to just an average motel.

It's delightful, comfortable and quiet, and it's just a few minute drive to the south shore of Lake Superior (and the awesome artesian well water available 'on tap') and a 25 minute drive to Bayfield, WI. The town of Ashland itself is sleepy and quaint, and sports a great co-op, a tasty bakery, and a wonderful coffee shop, not to mention the variety of shops along the town's main street (not the busy street running along the lake shore, but one block further in). Note: the owners informed us that they're going to stop serving morning breakfasts (next year, I think) because it's simply too much work for them (Tina, mainly) when Brian is away all week working his full-time job at a school three hours' drive away.
