Cute little getaway!
I was a bit cautious with the no contact check in and no staff on the premises. When we arrived I thought wow, they are very trusting. Everything was golden! The room had wonderful signage and instructions for everything. Very appreciated. The restaurant across the street was great as well.

Nice place, bad bad lumpy pillows.
We stayed one night on our way to boundary waters. Nice for the price. There was a restaurant across the street which was a bonus. Only complaint is the pillows. Cheap, lumpy and need to be replaced.

Comfortable, pet-friendly, but a bit smelly room
It seems like a lot of people stay here with their dogs--because it is pet friendly. Overall, we liked the place, location, and access to the outdoor games, s'mores, and bonfires at their partner resort down the road--Caribou Highlands Lodge. Our family's room was clean and comfortable and smelled fine, however, my sister's room that I booked for her, had a musty or possibly old-cigarette or wet dog smell that lingered for the night, even after they opened the windows.

This property was not worth the price we paid. No amenities, lack of front desk personnel, and no elevator, so luggage had to be carried up a long stairway. Our room was dated with stained carpeting, bad bathroom fixtures and no comfortable chairs. The tv didn’t work very well. Very disappointing experience and won’t return.

It was very odd not to have anyone at the front desk at any time. We were helped by a very kind person that was cleaning when we arrived. We just wanted to know if it was too early to check in. After that, all was well.

Cute, quiet property with spa access, walking distance from restaurant. Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Property is listed as pet-friendly; however, you need to call ahead to arrange for a pet-friendly room, otherwise you will be charged a $150 fee, which was not a great surprise to start off our stay.

Pleasant stay.
Nice place to stay, a little weird having to go up to a different hotel (Caribou) up the block to check in. Appeared clean but not overly so (We noticed dirt in the corners and edge along the bathroom floor, and it didn't appear to have been thoroughly vacuumed). It was nice that there were normal sized bottles of shower toiletries. There were ample hooks for hanging clothes, backpacks or purses, etc. on a little enclosure near the door. It was quiet. Bed was comfortable.
