They did a good job with COVID, they had us stay outside while they checked us in. They asked us if we wanted maid service the next day and we declined. We stopped by the office the next day and picked up clean towels. We were there to go canoeing, so we had a group of 10 people. The office has a cornhole board you can borrow, which we did. We set up in the parking lot near the end of the motel because there were too many bugs on the grass. There was also a fire pit we took advantage of later that night. The 1st & 2nd floor has an overhanging balcony and they have chairs and a small table set up in front of each one. Made it feel more cosy. There was a picnic table and on the first floor and a grill. We brought our own propane grill and cooked dinner and laid out the spread on the table. Made for a nice night. Dinner, cornhole & fire. It's definitely a motel and has a motel vibe. Not very updated inside but was very clean. Fridge & microwave in the room which we appreciated. Shower worked well and it had basic amenities. If you want upscale toiletries bring your own. The owners were very nice and didn't mind our late night partying. All in all an enjoyable trip. Don't expect the Ritz, but if you need a clean place to stay for your canoe trip, this is it.

After a recent stay, we returned home severely disappointed in the North Star Resort…read moreaccommodations. The photos posted on the website are misleading. What you can't see are the things like: windows without locks (or any latches), torn window screens, broken lighting fixtures, filthy floors, cigarette burn holes in bed linens, rusty bathroom fixtures, wandering dogs, and sharp broken tile shower floor. Interior & exterior were in extremely poor condition for a summer weekend getaway resort. *Note: I first posted this customer review (last night) on the North Star Resort website that asks for customer feedback. It was promptly removed by the owners/managers. Seems they are trying to maintain a "cozy" web facade and desperately trying to censor or totally prevent honest customer reviews.
