Stayed here for a weekend in February and loved it! But there are some things to know!…read more If you are thinking that this is going to be a massive upscale resort, it's not. If you are expecting a spot up north that is cozy and has some charm, then this is the place! Our room was clean, had a queen bed, leather love seat, microwave, and mini fridge. The shower was nice but there is no door, meaning water gets on the bathroom floor and you need to place a towel. The tv reception was also going in and out during our stay. There is a large real fire place, breakfast and dinner spot (breakfast was very good!) free s'mores, games and DVD's and a small pool and hot tub(indoor) We truly enjoyed our stay!

The rooms were immaculately clean, and extremely comfortable beds. The showers were awesome. The owners have done a very good job with energy efficiency and sustainable options. Nothing offensive or in your face, just very good decision-making and choices of materials and supplies. The dining area had hundreds of books, probably a good 50 or 60 games, a couple hundred DVDs, and a whole pile of good puzzles. Breakfast was continental, with your basic cereal, coffee, baked goods, and so forth. My daughter insisted that I include in this review that there were Gogurts. "Good for the little ones!" I should point out that she is 16. Overall an exciting treat, and also very refreshing and relaxing.

The Northern Rail Traincar Inn delivered exactly what they advertised and more. My husband and I…read morestayed at this Inn while visiting our retirement property up in Two Harbors. This Inn sparkles with cleanliness! I notice details like baseboards, corners and shelves. Each railcar is decorated in a different theme. We stayed in the newly appointed Lighthouse Room. The lamps were shaped like lighthouses, the room was tastefully decorated with Lighthouse pictures and memorabilia, and the hallway that connects each railcar was built reminiscent of a rail yard and train station. When I called to make the reservation. I actually spoke with one of the owners. Cindy. She was personable and friendly. She is the epitome of a fantastic bed& breakfast-type Innkeeper. We met her at the Inn and she was funny and very welcoming. The food was good. They had your typical fare offered at most hotels. The only reason they didn't get a 5 star rating from me is I feel like they could develop a "trademark item" with their breakfast to go with the theme as well. The location is perfect for a quiet weekend or even a Northshore vacation. It's nestled in the wilderness and just a very short ride to Lake Superior. I highly recommend this Inn if you would like to relive some locomotive history!

We stayed in the Sunrise room and it was lovely. The décor was pretty, the bed was comfy and the…read moreroom was very clean. There was a couch and padded bench at the foot of the bed. The sink and mirror was in the bedroom area. There was a small deck off our 2nd floor room. The location was wonderful, right on the baptism river. At night, it was so quiet there that it was so peaceful to sleep with the patio door open. Where this place really shined was the breakfast and Lura the host. The food was absolutely wonderful. Our first day there we had a very tasty smoked salmon scrambled eggs with a cinnamon scone. The second day was a baked custard of sorts with blueberry capote, grapefruit and sausage links. Of course there was plenty of juice and coffee. My guy and I just loved the chocolate chip cookies that were always there for the taking, the endless supply of coffee and the warm and inviting atmosphere of the place. There were several nice couples there at the same time and we all dined together in the common area. It was nice to share our day plans and talk about what we saw and did while we were there. We spent 2 days hiking several parks on the north shore. We can't wait to return and perhaps try out a different room. The only thing I can think to improve upon is that the water pressure in our bathroom needed some help. We loved the 2 person tub but it took FOREVER to fill and showers were pretty low pressure as well. The bed was comfy and the little frig in our room was a nice added feature.

It's in silver bay, the place in itself is middle of no where. Often reviewers don't level set on expectations and outcomes correctly. - the staff are helpful and do their best - Yes it may not compare to your stay in the cities or other places but c'mon it's silver bay, northern minnesota - Staff are cordial - The facilities are kept up decently - Price is right, during peak seasons too - Pool is well maintained and of course per regulation they have height restrictions, 47/48" for the slide as a parent I can appreciate. Some reviewers are being unreasonable about it, that's the regulation don't ding them for it. - Pool area is good, the foosball table wiring by wet area should be attended do. - Free breakfast crew is hardworking bunch doing whatever they can to prepare clean and setup. - Room cleaning is not the best, they forget few things now and then, but c'mon it's a small crew doing multiple things and for what they do they do pretty good. - Note to staff: I would recommend more vacuuming and cleaning floors walls windows curtains between patron stays just as good measure. Overall i was pleased with it when we stayed there last time, kids had a great time at the pool! It's much better than other chains with higher rating in Duluth MN. Keep up the good work guys

Pool was not clean, the amount of chlorine burned your eyes and you didn't even have to get in. Beds were awful, time for a chiropractic visit! Air conditioner blew gross dust and dirt all over, shower didn't drain, plumbing issues. Nothing was wiped down. House keeping was non-existent. Staff seemed like high school students trying to get school credit or something. So customer service and work ethic was not there if you get my drift. The entire place is outdated and dirty. Location is great but seriously, I would have paid $50 to sleep in my car in the parking lot and had the same experience. Shut this place down and start over, or lower your damn prices!!!

We love to tent up in the north shore during fall colors season. We aren't great at planning ahead…read moreso we scramble to find a campground.t he state parks are always booked months in advance, so it's the small private campgrounds in the area we enjoy. This one is sitting right on the lax lake. Every campsite will have some sort of view of the lake with some trees but it is not heavily wooded. You can see your neighbor but you're not packed in their like some campsites without any trees. Each campsite had plenty of space with a picnic table and a fire pit. I was a little disappointed in the one car rule because there was so much space to fit two cars and two tents at one campsite. It seems more of a family oriented campground that would be great for kids. We don't have any, so the kids got a little annoying for us. Especially when they are playing and yelling outside at seven in the morning. The bathrooms and quarter operated showers are well kept, clean and aren't far from any of the tent sites. The office is adorable and has a decent selection of snacks and camping things, like fire firewood, if you forget anything. You can also rent kayaks and pontoons for the lake. I felt that the tent sites were a little on the higher side for a campground but understandably so being on a lake with full bathroom, showers and laundry.

You can watch the lake from the toilet or from the whirlpool tub. The views are amazing. This has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and a full kitchen along with a patio area and a deck in the upper master en-suite. Keypad gets you into your room and all amenities. The resort has free activities such as group hikes to location places like Cascade or Oberg. The Bluefin Grill serves great food and cocktails. I love the outdoor hot tub. They have outdoor and indoor pools too. This resort is close to Grand Marais and Lutsen.

The nightly s'mores were a fun touch, and the pool and hot tub were relaxing, with a pretty walkway leading to them. Our room was comfortable, with cozy beds and extra bedding, which we appreciated. We loved that the main lodge had hot coffee and ice water available - as well as games and loves to check out! That said, the exterior is starting to show some age, with weeds throughout the grounds and overgrown bushes making the sidewalks feel crowded. A window on our room was broken and the indoor pool was out of commission. While the activities are a great perk, one was full before I could attend, and the yoga class I signed up for didn't have an instructor show up. Overall though, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay and I'd happily come back again!

The rooms are clean and the decoration is tasteful, creating a cabin like feel. The new owners since Feb take pride of the business. They provide great customer service and the check in and check out was effortless. They are a friendly couple. The gitchi gammi trail is just right outside the hotel so it is very convenient. The trail goes the south direction for about 2 miles. The north direction goes all the way to Lutsen. My husband loves riding uphill to Lutsen mountain and then go for the downhill rush. I waited for him on the trail while admiring all the beautiful prairie flowers. We really love the location of Cliff Dweller. So close to everything. Grand Marais is not far at all by car. If I have to suggest an improvement, it will have to be the breakfast. Waffles, cereal, orange juice and apples are a nice touch. However, their coffee is bad so it ruined it for me. There is an omelet also, but it is quite a random offering. Overall, breakfast can be improved.

The heat definitely works in the winter in this little room so don't even worry about getting cold! Very simple little hotel room, nothing fancy, no extra amenities but it's clean!

When we arrived, I had forgotten it was also a casino - which we honestly care about (and generally avoid due to the noise, etc.). It was a beautiful room, spacious, with plenty of power outlets and comfortable furniture. It was very clean, and the bathroom was also large and looked new. Our room was on the top floor and overlooked the marina - a nice view to wake up to! We walked through the casino just to get a feel, and it was not noisy or smoky - definitely busier in the evening. They also have an on-site restaurant where we enjoyed breakfast one morning. All staff we met were friendly and helpful - and parking is plentiful and free. The town of Bayfield is just a 10-minute drive away with lots of restaurants, shopping, and recreation (kayak tours, boat tours, etc.). Also - don't miss the lovely hiking trail a 10-15 minute drive the other direction in the Frog Bay Tribal National Park.
