We stayed in the Guest House. It was exactly what we were looking for -- comfort, peace and quiet, but working internet. Felt very welcomed by Eva and Colten. Yummy welcome treats were an added bonus. If you are in the Guest House, plan on taking a bath instead of a shower. First-class bathtub, but the shower curtain will invade your personal space otherwise. Would absolutely stay there again if "in the neighborhood." It's worth a few extra dollars compared to just an average motel.

It's delightful, comfortable and quiet, and it's just a few minute drive to the south shore of Lake Superior (and the awesome artesian well water available 'on tap') and a 25 minute drive to Bayfield, WI. The town of Ashland itself is sleepy and quaint, and sports a great co-op, a tasty bakery, and a wonderful coffee shop, not to mention the variety of shops along the town's main street (not the busy street running along the lake shore, but one block further in). Note: the owners informed us that they're going to stop serving morning breakfasts (next year, I think) because it's simply too much work for them (Tina, mainly) when Brian is away all week working his full-time job at a school three hours' drive away.

It looked like a perfect combination of rustic and classy, and totally relaxing. We only stayed here for one night, but it was a great night. The inn keepers are very friendly and welcomed us with open arms. Our room was small, but sufficient, with a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the lake. There is not much to do in the town of Cornucopia, which is about 20 minutes from Bayfield, but there are a few nice hikes near the B&B, or you can just relax on your balcony. I would recommend stopping by Siskiwit Falls, which is very close to the B&B. Bruce and Sandy serve breakfast at 8:30 am. Everything is homemade using local ingredients. On the day we were there, they served a quiche with sausage and wild rice, apple spic muffins and fruit. One thing to know, they do not accept credit cards! Make sure you have enough cash or your check book to pay for your room.

We just got back from our long weekend retreat at the Lighthouse B&B. Originally, I was going to…read morebook at Americinn at Two Harbors. However, the rate wasn't what I would say reasonable so decided to spend the same amount for the B&B experience. We have already visited Rittenhouse Inn and Summit Inn so this lighthouse experience totally got my attention. At first, I was bummed that all the rooms in the actual lighthouse were already taken. However, the Skiff House was a pleasant surprise being totally separate from the common lighthouse main building. Also, we had a large size hot tub with a pitcher to wash your hair. There were windows that peek out into the gift shop so it was nice that the Lighthouse museum closed at 4PM to get some privacy. We closed the blinds but still found people walking outside the gate to enjoy the sunset. Well, MeLissa was sooo nice to leave us some bread pudding in the fridge after it cooled off. Plus, she helped us with our luggage when we got confused and entered through the gift shop instead of the back entrance. MeLissa showed us the kitchen with an electric kettle with some hot chocolate/tea as well as microwave for popping popcorn. She also left us with 2 coupons at Blackwoods Restaurant and Vanilla Bean Café. We ended up having dinner at Blackwoods and picked up some jam at Vanilla Bean. Plus, there was a voucher to visit all the museums including the Lighthouse museum. I loved that we were able to enjoy the bread pudding after dinner when all the other guests were out. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in the parlor room and popped some popcorn to bring to the Skiff House. We then picked out 2 games- Trivial Pursuit and Phase 10 to borrow from the parlor room. Later that night, we enjoyed the board/card games with popcorn. When the sunset, we enjoyed the hot tub once all the tourists left the park. I would recommend to get eye mask and ear plugs since the rotating light source from lighthouse may distract you as well as boat horns. The next day, I woke up early and explored the grounds while everyone was asleep. I woke up my wife and we walked from our Skiff House to the lighthouse main bldg. to go to the top for the view. We looked through the port holes and watched as barges pass through. I dragged my wife to the observation room to get a good view of the harbor. Well, it was getting close to 8:30AM so we walked out to the breakwater fishing pier and noticed the large barge. When it was getting close to 9:00AM, we arrived at the main lighthouse bldg. for breakfast. Kevin was nice to fill up my thermos with coffee. We sat down early and were served first for some fruit soup, quiche, grapes, banana nut muffin along with some orange juice, coffee, and water. Overall, I was wowed on the hospitality and uniqueness to the whole experience. I would love to come back and share with my friends and family. There is even a fire pit that people used after dark to stay warm and socialize. By the way, there was no WiFi or TV so it's nice to actually spend time together without all the distractions of the internet or cable.

You can see the GINORMOUS ore ship docks and there's a long concrete Breakwave you can walk out to view the beautiful, glistening aquamarine waters.

Quite a way to start my day and see my first glimpse of Lake Superior close up. Check it out with the fam and even your dog as it's pet friendly! Bring a lock to lock on the breakwave like lovers did on the love lock bridge in Paris France! You'll find them all over Lake Superior and Duluth!

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!
