We love this place! Beautiful location. Outdated, simple but clean facilities…read more Reservations are old school and difficult. It's a small family owned resort and they prefer to do their business over the phone and snail mail. There is no online reservation system. And they cater to their loyal customers who come to their resort for the same weeks each year. The beautiful location is worth the old school inconveniences. After a long hot day of hiking, it's nice to know that flushing toilets and hot showers are available near the main office. Cell phone coverage is limited in this area but WiFi is available at the main office and arcade area.

Nothing fancy or too flashy, but they make up for it with beautiful plots right on Lake Superior and reasonable camping prices. Even if you are not close to the lake, you are in within walking distance of the lake. Each spot is maintained and clean. The shower house and bathrooms are basic but clean and kept that way. What is nice about Lamb's Resort is that you are extremely close to so many great walking trails and parks. You do not have to travel far to get to any place where you can spend your day. If rain is in the forecast, you are only 30 minutes away from Grand Marais and can make a day of it there. Not a bad place to camp and make some fun memories with family and friends.

The nightly s'mores were a fun touch, and the pool and hot tub were relaxing, with a pretty walkway leading to them. Our room was comfortable, with cozy beds and extra bedding, which we appreciated. We loved that the main lodge had hot coffee and ice water available - as well as games and loves to check out! That said, the exterior is starting to show some age, with weeds throughout the grounds and overgrown bushes making the sidewalks feel crowded. A window on our room was broken and the indoor pool was out of commission. While the activities are a great perk, one was full before I could attend, and the yoga class I signed up for didn't have an instructor show up. Overall though, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay and I'd happily come back again!

The views of Lake Superior are exactly what you come to the North Shore for, and with their expansive waterfront you are able to really take in the views & experience staying on the lake - no matter which building or unit you're in. The common spaces offer a large pool (deepest end is 4'), a large hot tub, sauna, gym, laundry, and sometimes group fitness that varied on the weekly schedule (COVID safe). When you check-in be sure to visit with guest services regarding the events they have scheduled for the week & what you can take in for free. They'll also be able to assist with bike rentals, etc. Be sure to let them know what you're interested in because they're more than willing to help. Also, don't skip the free s'mores packs for the nightly campfires! Guest services hours are very accommodating. The A unit we stayed in on our recent trip was impeccably clean, and even though it was a "pet friendly" unit you wouldn't be the wiser. The cleaning staff does a great job. The linens were all good quality - including great quality towels! The views are outstanding from both the first and second floors, and the unit furnishings allow for comfortable lounging to take it all in. We did some cooking while at Surfside and the kitchen was fully outfitted with all standard cooking utensils, pots, pans, dish ware, and drink ware. They provide dish soap, kitchen towels, and dishwasher tabs so cleanup is a breeze. The beds were super comfortable, too! The whole unit is quite spacious and would be comfortable with 6 adults, and if you combined it with a B unit you could be comfortable with 8 adults. The living spaces are outfit with great, comfortable furniture, but in the colder months I recommend bringing a throw blanket or two so it can be even more cozy! We really love Surfside and their attention to the guest experience. It's a quaint, peaceful resort stay that offers some nice perks: nightly bonfires that were never crowded, a playground for kiddos, an ice skating rink in the winter months, and so much more. We'll certainly be back!

They do have activities such as biking, hiking, kayaking which are included. Not a ton of dining options and not a lot of groceries in the area so you may want to bring your groceries with you, but all your pans, plates, and utensils are included. The view can't be beat. No beach nor real access to the water but if you are in the area I would not hesitate to stay here. We had six very comfortable in a three bedroom. Great space to hang out in. Grille and firepits also available.

This hotel is one of the best on the North Shore Drive if you want clean rooms, friendly staff, nice surroundings without over-spending on rooms! Breakfast is average and they have a pool. We loved our room suite with a jacuzzi. The toilet/shower is separate from the sink area making it convenient to get ready in the morning when you have multiple family members.

The best of both worlds…read more The best of camping. The best of a hotel. There is a neat place in northern Minnesota just a rock's throw from Lutsen that you've never heard of, but that you will never forget once you've visited. They have these super cool Dome Shaped cabins (I don't know what else to call them) in the middle of the forest. Once you are inside it, think part OmniMax theater screen on one side that you look out into the forest and get to overlook beautiful Lake Superior. It is a view you will never forget, and an experience that is hard to describe to others. It's a fully functional unit or small apartment: King size bed, full bathroom with shower, kitchen with everything but an oven (but had a stove top) including all dishes and utensils, heated floors, neat eco-friendly wood pellet heater/stove/furnace, a queen size bed in the loft, and a view to die for. The King Size bed was oh so comfortable (better than home) and the unit was super clean. The staff, Nicole and Emma, were super friendly, accommodating and so easy to work with. It almost felt like you were working with your best friends. This is a family business and located in their eco-friendly sustainable plot of land. They have chickens, goats and a large garden or small farm, where they grow things in a eco-friendly, sustainable fashion. They encourage guests to compost their leftovers, but to be mindful not to throw certain items in the compost (like Avocado skins and pits) as their chickens, who eventually eat the compost, don't particularly like Avocoados :-). There are four domes total at Klarhet, all available to book. Each has a King-Sized Bed on the main level, with a Queen-Sized Bed on the loft. Each dome has a different theme. We had friends in another Dome at the same time, so this made it double the fun. Klarhet mans "Clear Mind" in Scandinavian. And you can definitely do it here at Klarhet. It's a fantastic place, but don't go expecting 5-Star Hotel amenities (no TV, no pool, no ice maker, no vending machine, no land line phone, no Wi-Fi but you will get cell phone reception and data from your own cell phone provider). This is a place to unwind, and disconnect. (Think luxurious cabin with an amazing view!) They also have chickens and goats on the property that are part of the ambience of the place (they all have names too). You will be give fresh eggs from these chickens to eat too. Nicole gives a farm talk to any interested about how they are creating a sustainable food forest on their 26 acres. (Take it - Nicole is a great speaker and very passionate about what they are trying to create here.) You can bring food and prepare it yourself in the kitchen, or you can go out to eat at nearby restaurants. You can go hiking, biking or skiing nearby, depending on the season you attend. Now, if I can only figure out how that bear got in my bed next to me last night, because she snored awfully loud all night long :-).

My husband and I stopped in to Cascade Restaurant 2 separate times during our weekend trip up to Lutsen. The restaurant was conveniently located 5 minutes from our lodging- Thomsonite Inn. When you first enter, you grab a menu, sit wherever is open, and order at the register which is a different set-up but worked well for them. Our 1st visit, I ordered the seafood chowder and fried chicken dinner which were both phenomenal. Every spoonful of the chowder was filled with clams and fish. The portion size of the extra crispy fried chicken fed me for 2 nights. I left there so satisfied! When we came back for breakfast, I had another delicious meal of the avocado toast with balsamic glaze. I would definitely come back here for the delicious food next time we road trip up North again.

They had A LOT of stuff in that condo, which for an Airbnb unit seemed like too much and we didn't really have a good spot to put our luggage. The fireplace and view are incredible. We visited during the off-season, which was ideal. I'd imagine peak season might feel a bit too busy for us, especially since the lake view is from a shared backyard/patio space. I loved how this unit allows dogs but if you are traveling with a pet, keep in mind the layout is hotel-style. If your dog is sensitive to hallway noises or neighbors above and beside you, they might be prone to barking. Unfortunately, we found a bag of trash behind the door upon check-in that smelled like tobacco. We had to leave the windows open to air the place out, which was a bummer since it was freezing outside.

It's a small unit, big enough for just two people. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook a meal and plenty of kitchen ware. Electric stove and microwave are very well kept, nothing you would be afraid of cooking in. The living room was nicely situated to the fireplace and T.V. (Satellite, DVD player included). The bathroom was beautifully decorated. One downside was the drainage on the tub/shower, doesn't drain too quick. I love the location of this unit(north edge of the building) you can hear the crashing of the waves against the rocks, it reminded me of the ocean. However, the one downside of this location is it is on the lower level and next to an entrance, so it can be a bit noisy from other tenants. We reserved through Air-B-N-B and the owner was very pleasant to work with. Thank you so much for your condo and we look forward to future stays.
