Extraordinary!! We booked a bungalow online for our mini-moon post wedding as this rental allowed dogs as opposed to the main area and would book again in a heartbeat. Check-in takes place at the main entry and check-ins post 4 pm will have a cute envelope pinned to the bulletin board with all the room information including door code, printed ferry schedule and other surrounding area pamphlets. Needless to say, it is very safe here. We came during offseason and appreciated the quaint and quiet spaces. We enjoyed how everything was walking distance and took our time getting acclimated with learning all the logistics of the island and our property. If you need to exit the island for any reason, you will have to take the ferry which is the same as how you enter. Our room was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace, the claw tub which we sadly never got around to using, the giant walk in shower, the comfortable bed, Keurig coffee in the morning hours, the outdoor fire pit, laying patio loungers and being one with nature. Each bungalow has a stove, oven, microwave and mini fridge along with wine glasses, coffee mugs, silverware and plates which we really appreciated!! We were able to leverage the wine glasses and reheat some leftover meals in the microwave. Having the restaurant on property was a great way to start our vacation and knowing it was always open was nice. We saw plenty of deer across the field in the golf course area along with on property. During the evening hours when we had our bonfires, the stars in the sky were bright and the howls of coyotes made their rounds. The staff was able to accommodate our ask for more K-cups along with a later check-out. We will definitely be returning and hope to check out apple fest next year and make this part of our anniversary!! Thank you!! read more

We stayed in the bungalows, which were just built a couple of years ago. They were fantastic. Out-of-the-way, not that Madeline island is loud or anyway. They sit back in the trees. There are three units that are essentially duplexes. Our unit had a nice kitchenette with a small stall, microwave, coffee, pot, and refrigerator. Very nicely appointed. The bathroom was large. The walk-in shower had room for 8 to 10 people, not that you would do that. Nice soaker tub. Fireplace, large green TV, Everything for a great weekend. A patio in the back with a fire ring as well. Check in at the main building. We checked in after hours. Have to drive to the main hotel for the restaurant, bar, pool, etc. The privacy is worth it though. Would definitely stay here again. Never had any face-to-face contact with any hotel staff, but didn't have any problems either. read more

My husband and I took a trip here last fall and had a wonderful time! We were happily surprised to find out it is dog-friendly, so our little fluffy friend came with too. Our experience was great from beginning to end. We had to check-in late since we were coming in from a wedding in Superior earlier that day. Ended up getting to the island right around 10:30pm, and they were so so helpful. Our room was great and holy buckets was it huge! We stayed in one of the Fairway Suites, which had ample space and a cute little kitchenette if we had wanted to make food ourselves. Location was phenomenal - really it was just out of the way so it felt secluded, but it only took 5-10 minutes to get to the "middle" of the island. Really the island itself is small, but it was just quaint enough - we loved it! My only feedback is that there wasn't great signage to find the place. I think the suites were a newer construction, but I would have liked to have some sort of sign since we missed our turn on more than one occasion. read more

Two words: FREE UPGRADE! This was a great way to start our anniversary trip to Madeline Island. Due to some water issues, they gave us a free upgrade to a room in their Lightkeepers Lodge. This room was amazing. It was huge, with great sailor decor that wasn't too kitchy. It had an awesome balcony with a view overlooking Lake Superior. The bathroom was an experience in its own. I've never been in a shower this nice before. It had multiple jets that encompassed you in water. There was beautiful stone tile and everything looked new and clean. This hotel is located a few blocks from the ferry landing, and just far enough from the main activity on the island. It is also home to one of the two restaurants that serve dinner, The Pub. If you are planning a trip to Madeline Island, I would definitely recommend a stay at Lightkeepers Lodge! read more

Worst customer service ever! I will say that Madeline island as a whole is very cute and I be back but the service provided by the inn was not worth what they charge. When arrive at out weekend condo unit we were immediately hit by the smell of burnt rubber. I suspect it was dish ware that was rang when the unit was locked up and filled the first floor with a nasty rubber Oder. When we went back to the inn to see about switching units, they said we would have to pay more to upgrade to a non- smelly unit. They offered us a half used candel and lighter . Every night we spent there, I burned candles and tons of incense to cover the smell. Upon check out, I complained and when talking to the manager was given the " well there is nothing mechanically wrong it just smells like your at grandma"s house". The still proceeded to charge me the full $250 a night and did not seem to care one bit about my complaint. To spend 15 minutes arguing with a manager on if they thought it smelled bad is just poor customer service. On an island that thrives on tourist ths place is so overpriced and needs a lesson in customer service o 101. Please don't stay here , so not worth it. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Inn on Madeline Island in the Apostle Islands last week. While the room itself was fine, there were a lot of issues. It had a decent restaurant (The Pub) but it was closed both Wednesday and Thursday. There are not many restaurants on the island, so when one closes for two days, it's not good. The pool, which is what led me to choose the Inn and was supposed to have opened on Memorial Day, had algae and filthy water in it. The coffee pot was broken and we were never given a new one. The shower curtain was not wide enough, so every time you took a shower the floor got soaked! The worst was that our key cards repeatedly stopped working. We were told it was probably because they were too close to our cell phones (they weren't). One of the times we were locked out in our swimsuits with no phones! The office was closed (it closes at 4 p.m.) and we had to use the phone outside the office to reach someone to come make new cards for us. Do yourself a favor, and skip the Inn on M.I. read more

The Inn on Madeline Island (madisland.com) controls the vast majority of lodging options on Madeline Island, including many privately owned venues (acting as the rental management company). From what I've heard, and from what I could tell this past weekend, one can have vastly different experiences based on the property one stays at. The core Lightkeeper's Lodge and Lakeside Condominiums would appear to be operated like a nice hotel, with updated rooms and maid service. With the other options, including the new "Fairway Suites" we tried to stay at, you're basically on your own (i.e., not serviced daily). We booked a room at the Fairway Suites, which was billed on the website as "Hotel Suites" with views of the Madleine Island golf course. There was no information to indicate that these are actually privately owned condos that do not feature daily maid service (or any daily service). Nor did the website inform those booking the property that it is one of two sets of condos, the other one of which is half completed, leaving the entire grounds muddy and half sodded with utility piping and cords all over the place. They are not suitable for renting to anyone at this point, but the owners and The Inn were anxious to get the cash flow stream started, so they put them up for rent anyway. The Fairway Suites unit we stayed in was a 1 bedroom condo with what I'd describe as a 1/3 kitchen. That is, it had a mini-fridge, sink, microwave, and coffee maker with some dishware, but no oven, range, or freezer. The Fairway Suites are not walking distance from the main Inn check in area (near The Pub) or the other bars restuaurants on the Island, leaving guests in a precarious situation of not being able to cook or even make drinks there (lack of a functional kitchen, nowhere to get or store ice) and having to drive or bike to dine or have drinks. The units also have no Cable or Satellite TV at all, which we were informed was becuase "the phone people couldn't figure it out yet," nor did they feature WiFi (which is important because there is essentially no cell data service on Madeline). To top it off, the tap water was undrinkable. Cloudy and with a foul taste. Management claimed it "had been tested," but just because water is potable doesn't mean it's pleasant to drink (think cruise ship water). The golf course view that is boasted about on the website also doesn't really exist; you can see the golf course at a distance through the trees (and over the muddy construction mess), but it's not the view one would expect from a place named "The Fairway Suites." Given the aformentioned limitations of The Fairway Suites, we asked to be moved and were accomodated, this time to the Marina Point condos. We quickly found out that we were moved to the only one of the six units that has not yet been renovated and which they are trying to sell to a private owner (506A). It also had no daily maid service, something we were communicated it would have. Virtually nothing in the condo has been updated since the 1980s (including the coffee maker) and the water heater is well past its useful life - it has a 2004 sticker on it (it went cold on us during showers twice after using less than 15 minutes of hot water; the maintenance guy accused us of using too much hot water). The overall experience we had with The Inn on Madeline Island put a damper on our vacation. For our trouble, we were given a free night but should have comped the entire thing at the least. If you stay on Madeline Island, I'd strongly suggest trying to find somewhere else that is not affiliated with The Inn on Madeline Island, or even camping. read more

Good burger, but charged $3 for an ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes???? Great fish chowder and whitefish livers. read more

Good place to stay.. Rooms were clean. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Coffee maker didn't work. We'll go back to Madeline Island but probably not here, more likely a cabin or something with a little more rustic charm. read more
