I'm actually at the Carla's Inn. It's the nicest roadside motel I've ever been to. The owners are very nice people and made room for me when I needed it. If I ever came back to the area I would definetly stay here again.

When traveling with a dog it's often hard to find a place that approves their admittance, but Bear Paw Inn graciously did and without imposing a ridiculously high fee. The young lady at the desk when we arrived was pleasant, friendly, and very patient with this road-weary traveler who was somewhat confused over whether we'd already been charged (we weren't). We ended up with a VERY clean, exceptionally comfortable room (2 queen beds) that was rustic yet cozy. I would recommend and certainly would return if ever in that area again!

It's a rustic Motel in the middle of nowhere. If that's what you're looking for it's great. Clean and quiet and close to side by side trails. Property is really cool, right on a lake. Shower is a little tight if you're tall.

This motel is older and the rooms are charming. The sink and toilet are newer. The area is pretty: a big lake is across the road. Despite the motel being on highway 41, it was quiet enough at night that we could leave the windows open. The young woman staffing the motel told us that it is owned by her grandparents. The motel is between Michigamme and L'Anse. We went into L'Anse for breakfast. I recommend filling your water bottle at a restaurant for drinking water as their well water wasn't tasty.

I wish I would have had more time to hang out at the property because it's gorgeous but it was perfect for a quick night's sleep. The bed was very comfortable. The room smelled a little musty but was clean.

First off, as we pulled in we got a 'Hills have Eyes' vibe of the place as there was no one and no vehicles around. The office door was locked with a notice to call for check in, called and got an automated response that kept saying 'tell me' and then silence. after a couple attempts to talk to it I gave up and we moved on and stayed at The L'Anse Motel, better price, better vibes, human service and much cleaner.
