Beautiful cozy room. Very clean. Fabulous shower! I've been coming to Thomsonite for 40 years and always love it. The renovations are really nice. Only one suggestion - put a light or lamp near the coffee maker kitchenette area

10/10 Exceptional

The room was roomy and comfortable. It was perfect for resting after a day of hiking. The farmhouse style sink in the bathroom was perfect for rinsing dishes, filling water bottles and washing faces and hands. It is obvious a lot of thought was given to the design of the room. Our only interaction with staff was when they showed us a bear about 100 feet from our cabin as we walked back from the beach. On our next visit we will look at taking advantage of the kayaking opportunities offered at Bluefin for guests. There were plenty of supplies, towels, toilet paper, shampoo, etc. for the time we were there. It is close to some great hiking like Pincushion Mountain and Cascade Falls. We enjoyed going into Grand Marais, which is close, for dinner as is the Cascade Lodge. We will definitely look at staying here again.

Great location with beautiful views of the lake. We stayed in one of their newly renovated rooms and found it to be cozy, quaint and comfortable- which was perfect in a spring blizzard! The lakeside sauna was perfect for a relaxing evening.

I checked in late and they left a packet with my key out for me. I stayed in a studio with kitchenette and had everything I needed. The lakeside sauna was a nice bonus.

Room was clean and comfortable. Sauna was fun. More lights on walkway would be great, and a safety bar in the shower. Bed, too was awesome. And, I loved the table and chairs in the room.

The property sits on the shore of Lake Superior. There are chairs and firepits, a sauna, and beautifully designed and decorated rooms. The owners are very responsive and friendly, and we will stay there again!

This is an old resort but typical for the area. The room was comfortable but electric outlets were not accessible, shade didn’t come down all the way (would be nice to have top down shade for lake view without being on display), paper thin walls (but people were reasonably quiet). Nice to have fridge and microwave. Staff were friendly.

New Year Getaway

It is a perfect escape and pivot point between Grand Marais and Lutsen skiing. Only used the sauna once, but it was a great amenity. Kitchen fully fitted out for making meals. Decor was just right.

Perfect stay by the lake

The room was clean and the lake view was nice. We enjoyed the sauna a lot. Sitting around a campfire and listening to the water was very relaxing. Very close to Grand Maris. Highly recommend it if you visit Grand Marais!

This property was comfortable and easy to get to. Nestled along the shore of Lake Superior the evenenings were delightful as we sat around our campfire with other guests. We learned we are more alike thean we are different an we are good people enjoying the North Shore.
