I walked out my patio door to the majestic lake of the north. Come to find out the Isle Royale Ferry Departs from this area! If I had known that ahead of time, I would have booked a trip to the isolated isle! It's on my bucket. I truly enjoyed my stay and hope to be back here one day! On a side note, the motel has been updated and it's quite charming!

We stayed two nights in mid August. The room was clean, had a small fridge. The view is what you…read morecome for. We were directly on the water and loved watching freighters off in the distance and the Island Queen setting out for the day. Each room has 2 chairs on the patio, there are also 2 docks, lots of geese. There was a young man tasked with removing the geese's mess each morning so it was kept decently clean. One night another guest caught a salmon right off the dock! The drawbacks are an awkwardly placed bathroom. My tall companion knees hit the wall using the toilet, and the area next to the tub was equally narrow. The window facing the park area has to be kept closed due to noise. I like having a window open to sleep, so was a wee bit sad at that. Both the Isle Royale ferry and Jamsen's are maybe a 2 minute walk if you're slow. Do yourself a favor and go to Jamsen's for coffee, a donut, turnover or breakfast sandwich. The coffee cake is stellar! Overall, I'd stay here again and try to not get the room next to the ice machine. (Right by the window). The wifi worked most of the time for us. Cell reception is almost non existent otherwise.

As far as location, Bella Vista is about 6 blocks from the store in town, and the restaurants that were still open this late in the season (German restaurant and an American fare restaurant); Eagle Harbor and Delaware are nearby with the many great little spots. We had cottage 6, which appeared to be recently updated; paint looked fresh, new flooring. Cottage kitchen had a fridge and freezer, toaster, coffee maker, sink, microwave. Room had a bed, small table and two chairs, and a wee loveseat. Only problem we had: we arrived for check-in an hour after check-in begins--begins at 3pm, we arrived at 4pm--when we entered our room we could tell it hadn't been cleaned. The girl at the desk asked for an hour to clean the cottage; it was hard to drive for 8 hours and then not be able to stretch out and relax right away. That, paired with the tiny shower in our cottage, is what made this a 4 star review instead of a 5 star.

We loved our trip. The staff were so friendly and helpful with everything…read more The winter setting was beautiful. We had gone in January in hope of seeing the northern lights, but sadly it was overcast and snowy the whole time. This is a "dark sky" location, so it was a bummer. The cabins are adorable. Built by the WPA in the 1930s, but completely updated with modern heating and bathrooms. There was a fireplace, a nice touch. The beds were comfortable and the space was clean. There was a small fridge and a microwave. They do provide simple breakfast, lunch and dinner that is included in the stay. If you want something different, there is a restaurant in town. There is a general store if you need extra snacks, drinks, etc. And Chef Wi will make a special dinner for you if you plan ahead (costs extra). She was so kind and attentive and made us feel welcome. She called us ahead of time to be sure we were aware of the dining options. Cross country skiing and snow shoeing equipment was available at no cost. It's too far away for us to go again, but it must be incredibly beautiful in the spring and summer.

Since this was an impromptu trip and I only had a few days, I was hoping to be able to spend some time here. Luckily for me, Cabin 10 was available. The highlight of my stay was the dark sky park, which is located on this property. It was a beautiful clear night and I was able to see a million stars and view the northern lights. I absolutely love everything about this rustic gem. It's such a peaceful place to relax, recharge and enjoy nature. I hope to make it back one day.

When we first pulled in, I asked my travel companion if this was already paid for, meaning "if they don't have our money let's go somewhere else". It was, by all outward appearances not someplace we wanted to spend the night. Then we remembered seeing on their website that they had completely remodeled their rooms within the last two years - and wow. The outside of the motel does not do the inside justice. Fresh carpet, clean well-lit bathrooms with modern fixtures, spacious rooms, good beds, and everything we needed to get us ready for a hard day on the trails. The tired old cliché "don't judge a book by it's cover" certainly rings true in our little world time and time again. With reasonable rates and a great location, it's worth a stop when you're in the area. Jim & Colette http://www.roamingtogether.com http://www.facebook.com/followrt

There were dirty fingerprints all over the back of the door, sticky spray stuff on the walls and pictures, thick dust on the baseboards... The walls were thin, and the neighbors were loud (but not inappropriately so). There was supposed to be a "futon". There was a dirty couch I wouldn't have let my dog on. The positives: The mattress was newer (with flat, old pillows). There was a nice porch (with two chairs for three rooms to share). No front desk. Check in is in the bar, and check out is in the restaurant (which appeared to be a popular breakfast place).
