We found the individuals cold and uninterested in creating a welcoming environment. In contrast the bartender in the Counting Room made the experience very special. Food: I see other reviews were positive about the breakfast, but we were underwhelmed. Bagels, toast and cold cereal are not that exciting but to be fair we did not try the quiche. Coffee was mediocre at best. The room: Nice, bed is a bit low to the ground but tolerable. Shower was good. Bathtub looked enticing but didn't try. The French Press coffee in the room was a nice touch, but was tempered by the fact that there was only enough to make one cup?! Lost the "wow" factor on that note. Parking: Great space across the street, covered with easy access. Overall this hotel seems to be striving for the niche boutique experience, has the potential, but misses the mark.

Turns out it's just a small one room but, it was as clean a place as we've ever stayed. Had everything we needed as well. Frig, microwave, stove, sink, utensils, TV, and free Wi-FI. There is also a multi-family cabin there as well. There are some nice hiking trails around also. It's in the middle of nowhere but, it is a very nice place to stay. The owner is a very nice lady and will offer information if you need. She rents mostly to fisherman and hunters during the seasons. We will go back.

We went…read morein the summer (August, 2012) which I mention only because they are open in the Winter as well. This home is absolutely gorgeous!! Les and Carol may seem a little less than gregarious at first but they open up in due time. Les has some interesting hunting stories! The food that Carol makes for breakfast is a) healthy, at least the fruit course, b) creative and homemade, and c) some of the best food you may ever have. You can expect coupons for the "sports bar" in Crystal Falls and for the supper club just north of town. I may fill out reviews of both places to help others make a decision about either place should they also choose to go. Let me just say here that the sports bar is not like any sports bar to which I am accustomed and the Westwood Supper Club will meet with mixed reviews. I offer as proof the fact that another couple that was at the Inn while we were there went to the supper club and had a pleasant experience. If you choose to read the reviews of Westwood II, you will see that service is an issue mostly, with food issues coming in a distant second. We were unfortunate to have both. It took over two hours to complete our dinner and my filet was a bit undercooked. Before any wise acre starts in on why not just go elsewhere - if you are there you will learn there are not many places to eat nearby. With that being said, I read some of the other reviews on the Listening Inn. Not sure why Frank has to comment negatively on Norm's experience. As I discussed our experience with my travel companion, we came to the conclusion that it is likely that other B & B's may be very different, and certainly may not be for everyone. However, it IS good to read about the experiences of those who have been there: good, bad, or ugly. The pine stairway is a little dangerous, especially going down it - but it is absolutely gorgeous. So, it just depends on how one looks at things. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would go back again. I would like to see the place in the Winter. If you choose to go, make sure that you share your opinions, likes and dislikes so that others may make an informed choice. I would also like to add that because we got the two day deal, we were able to go on a 3+ hour canoe trip with a small lunch provided. If it is hot I recommend bringing more to drink! They provide each person a bottle of water but one may find that more is needed. Beautiful views, beautiful house and an overall good experience. WiFi is available at the Inn, but it is very slow, for those who have an interest. And the travel companion says: The chance to see bears up close is a unique and exciting experience!

Carol, You have totally missed your calling - as it most assuredly is not running a bed and…read morebreakfast! May I suggest you start by Google-ing "customer service" and maybe waving your eyes over it to see if you can get an idea of how to treat customers. First, the Listening Inn is appropriately named because you can hear everything that goes on in the place because the walls are so thin. Checking in was scarey and almost turned us around in the first 15 minutes to send us looking for another place to stay. We had purchased a living social deal and since we had called and made the reservations and then followed up again to check on the reservations just a couple of days prior to our arrival, we didn't bother "printing" out the voucher. Also, because with these deals you can usually use your smart phone to bring it up we failed to print it out. Well Carol pointed out to us clearly and in no uncertain terms that we were supposed to print it out. This was reiterated to us a few times while I am scrambling to get on the computer and bring up the living social voucher. When I finally did get it, she said we didn't need to bring it all the way up as she had the info she needed. Seriously!!! Oh, did I mention we were not greeted nor welcomed to the Inn as we arrived and said we were there to check in. She then walks us up to the room via the stairs which I will mention in the "safety" segment, as she is lighting the gas heater in our room, she hits us with a bunch of rules which start with quiet time starts at 9 PM and the front door is locked at 11 PM. I asked (nicely enough I believe) if the room key fits the front door. She very sternly lets us know that it does not. Says again that the door locks at 11 and that if we don't like it we could check out now! We were to say the least a little taken aback. After spending 20 years in the military I can handle some rules but, OMG I am an adult and sure didn't need that kind of crap. We actually spent some time in bewilderment and considered leaving as we were pondering our options. We had just driven 5 plus hours to a desolate location, it was now dark and did not look forward to picking up at night and trying to find another location and not knowing if we would get refunded. We decided to stay. I can tell space will not allow me to really go into detail so... Safety - I think there are laws about some of this stuff and someone should look into it: That spiral stair case I think is not engineered correctly and really needs to be looked at. Isn't there something about floor levels changing yet the color being the same? Serious tripping hazard in a place you have to watch your head. Steps down in rec room in dimly lit area - partner actually did trip on it. Skiing and snowshoeing was great! Food was average - oh and only one hour time window for breakfast. Not allowed to take food into upper-level room but no offer to use kitchen, yet not many choices of anything nearby as far as dining facilities. We left Sunday morning right after breakfast. Before we drove 5-minutes away we received a call on my phone. The phone was in my jacket in the back. By the time we got the phone we missed the call. The message, the phone hanging up from - the Listening Inn. To sum up - the area was great for skiing and snowshoeing! The potential of that facility really is amazing and there - just not for those folks who are running it. Maybe they could visit a B&B or two to get a clue and again look up customer service. We did not drive up there to go to an event and sleep here - this was the event - the destination! There is so much more I could say but whew....

The water in the bathroom ran "hot" and "dangerously hot," somewhat randomly. At one point my husband had to leap out of the shower to avoid being scalded. No warning and no idea why it happened. Restaurant was a different story. Carla was charming and friendly. Food was delicious and the fish couldn't have been fresher if it was flopping. Good value for the money.

They had a nice selection of toppings for cooked oatmeal, a couple waffle makers, yogurt, frittas (more like omelette), biscuit, gravy with sausage (that was out by 8am, so couldn't try it). But the spread of options was a lot more than the usual dry cereal bar, yogurt, bread and bagels.

However, due to Covid a lot of main camping sites were closed at the time. We knew this prior and researched the area we wanted to camp. Sadly, when we arrived the person that did camp there misinformed us as there are signs that tell you not to publically camp at the site. We did not want to break any rules so we decided to try to find a last minute place to sleep. Luckily, we found a place right in Houghton. We got to pass by a beautiful water front and a mini bridge. It was quite beautiful and I definitely would love to visit the city again. The inn was safely following protocals for Covid. We got our room key and went to our room. The pool room was open, but only a certain amount of people were allowed in at once. Luckily, it was super late so no one was in the pool area. We decided to stop by the jacuzzi to check it out. The room itsef was super clean and comfortable. It was definitely worth the price. I enjoyed our night stay. I would come back again in the future.

We stayed here for two days during a storm induced power outage. Best of all, it was all during Thanksgiving. The hotel itself is very simple. Bedding is old school, but comfortable and warm. It has seen its better days, but again it's what you would expect at a simple hotel. Towels are plenty, and they are very efficient and making sure you have all you need. Our fridge was not working during our stay, and they promptly brought another one right away. We had a pet also. They were again friendly and understanding during the whole stay. Breakfast had a variety of foods including potatoes, biscuits and gravy, pastries, bagels, mini muffins and toast. There was also yogurt and fruit. The cable TV is well...horrible, because cable is just terrible anyways. But they have Wi-fi, therefore you can bring your own entertainment. If you stay here, I would also consider making sure that you leave everything as nice as you've found because they have a small, but very respectful staff that works as a team and does everything and anything to keep the hotel running smoothly. So by leaving things nicely you will help them out too.
