"Unbeatable home base if you plan to hike trails, drive further north to walk around Grand Marais, and if Lutsen Mountain is on your list for fall leaf viewing or skiing, this place is just across HWY 61 from it! Kitchen had bare essentials for cookware so if you bring food to cook, be sure to bring everything you might need.
