10/10 Exceptional

Our room was tidy and clean, our view was nice. We had a big pine tree outside blocking part of the lake view but it provided nice shade so that we could sit comfortably on the deck in the afternoon sun. The bed was comfy and there's a powerful oscillating fan you can point right at it. Wi-fi was weak with an unsteady connection that kept going in and out but there were some basic cable channels that provided entertainment. There was definitely an odor coming from the bathroom area that I could smell from the bed but it's an older property that could use some tlc and little fixes like the broken lock on the screen door to the balcony as well as a good dusting of the fan. We would for sure stay here again in the future.

Decent place for its age. Sits right next to road but relatively quiet. Looks out over lake.

My sister and I were very impressed with the property and our room. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the balcony view of Lake Superior was beautiful and the room was spotless. We would, without a doubt, stay there again!

Fabulous location. Clean rooms. Continental breakfast was lacking. I expect more than granola bars & coffee. There was a toaster, but nothing to put in the toaster. No other beverages other than coffee.

Managed to stay on hottest days of the year, and while the fan helped, cross ventilation would have helped tremendously. Perhaps screen doors on western facade? Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Location perfect for avoiding chi-chi tourist towns but still enjoy the extraordinary views. Recommend with caveat that exterior ready for painting or update. Room was lovely.
