We had the pleasure of working with Emily, the front desk/reservation department. She was so hospitable and supportive. We got a room thinking our view out towards the lake was gonna be perfect but unfortunately a tree fell and blocked our view. I left a message to reservation and Emily left a voicemail and got us a new room with perfect view of the lake. Communicative, responsive, and professional. We couldn’t thank her enough. I would like to thank the housekeeping staff also, for helping get our room cleaned and ready on time!
This is our new view! Breathtaking and airy!

Right on Lake Superior. Can walk 20 steps out the patio, and are on the shore of Lake Superior. Great sunrise and sunset! Excellent lake air. Cozy and comfy one bedroom with all the amenities including a big soaking jet tub, fire place, rotating rocking chairs, windows with shades facing the lake. Everything was perfect!

Very nice....But

The place is beautiful, by the lake, we stayed one night after driving for 16hrs to get there, so we were tired. The issue with the fridge and mini split...is they are LOUD, and could not fall asleep

The king suite with a jetted tub was amazing. The views, the room, cleanliness, amenities, were all top notch. Room service was incredibly fast and burgers were delivered and delicious (5 stars!)! Ribeye steaks (2 stars) were ok in person at the Bluefin Grille, pickup a local cut of steak and grill it yourself on the grills at the property! Everything else about the property was great. Very cozy. Will be returning to the Surfside location in the future!

North Shore Birthday Trip

I absolutely loved this resort and I cannot wait to visit again. I wasn't able to make it there my first booked night due to weather and they were kind enough to not charge me for that night. The room had tons of natural light and gorgeous views of Lake Superior. The lady that was working at the Guest Services desk was very kind and gave good tips on the sights to see in the area. The location was great - lots of good hiking trails and waterfalls nearby. The food and service at the Bluefin Grille were also excellent. This place is a nice slice of paradise on the North Shore!

Great stay, beautiful views from our room right on the lake! The room was super clean, had a wood burning fireplace with wood already stacked ready to go! Free use of snow shoes was a plus as we went hiking both days, and my daughter loved the complementary hot chocolate at guest services. Only suggestion would be our superior suite which had two separate rooms, only had one tv in the main bedroom. It would have been nice to have another tv in the other room as well, but we made due! Overall great location, property and views!

Great location. Very nice place. I was frustrated that I booked on Expedia with my American Express card which I use for all my travel needs and they called me back 3 times telling me that I had to pay with a Visa. I took the time to call the back and give them what they requested but I question why a hostility spot in the USA would not take beloved American Express?
