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!

It's just so much fun to stay here and bonus- you can watch local wildlife right from your window. Rooms were clean, and the managers offer a plethora of games and movies you can borrow- which is just fun! Be careful not to run in the halls though- it makes noise, and the managers will quell it immediately (which is a good thing, my kids just didn't realize it as I think we were the only ones staying there at the time.)

We got to sit on our own private deck and watch the boats come in and out of the marina and people walk by. Everything in the hotel room was clean. Clean sheets, clean towels, and REALLY clean shower. We had a king size bed which slept great. Sure the decor isn't up to date. It's not the Ritz Carlton but hey, it's clean, convenient, and it didn't break the bank. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The lake is mesmerizing at midnight when the mist rises off of it in the moonlight. We were told there were otters and beaver in the area, and we saw a muskrat right off of the pier. On the lovely drive up we saw some deer, bald eagles and a black bear. Make sure to follow the directions to their property that they send to you when you reserve. You'll be on a paved road most of the way, but then it turns into a gravel road. If it's been raining, there can be a gigantic puddle of water that you'll have to drive through; it stretches across the entire gravel road. It is passable; it just looks really scary, especially if you're in a big RV. It took three days for that puddle to dissipate. Bring bug spray for sure because there is water all around the tent sites after a rain. The playground and outhouse bathrooms were closed due to Covid, but the main bathroom/shower building was open and clean. Not a high-end restroom, but not rustic either. Be aware of their cancellation and no-show policies. There are no refunds, but they give credit instead. We changed from an RV site to a Tent site and so had a little over $20 coming to us. So we used that credit to get three $6 bundles of firewood instead. Since it rained the day we got there, the firewood was damp. It took us about an hour to get our campfire going the first night. We had to shred up every cardboard box we brought with us to use as kindling. So we went into Mellen the next day and bought some firestarter logs at the convenience store.

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 air conditioning in the main lodge / rooms is provided by super loud mini split units that click on and off loudly all night making it quite difficult to sleep.

A serious remodel and entirely new food and bev program is sorely needed here.
