Poplar River Condos

Poplar River Condos

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful setting, nice clean and comfortable room. Has a gas fireplace and adjustable heat, which we had some trouble figuring out in spite of well-written instructions. Good coffee-making setup and provided coffee packets were generous. Didn't really have any interactions with staff. We were only there for two nights. We had a lakefront unit and there was a nice lighted stairway down to the lake. Towels nad paper products were supplied."

"We had a wonderful stay at Lutsen by the Lake! The property is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, with absolutely gorgeous views right by the lake. The scenery is so peaceful and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kind, which makes the experience even better. This was our second time staying here, and we’ll definitely be back again! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful lakeside getaway."

10/10 Excellent
"This was a most excellent stay for three nights! Every room has a balcony facing Lake Superior, so you get to see the sunrise! One thing to note about the location is that you have to travel a bit to find restaurants. The sister restaurant that is advertised with 10% off the meal is a long way from the hotel and we did not find it advantageous to go there after the first night. The best restaurant we experienced was the Coho Cafe and Bakery in Tofte. Small restaurant, but really great food!"

Harbor Inn Self Check-in Hotel

Harbor Inn Self Check-in Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"It’s clear that this hotel has been recently and thoughtfully upgraded. It’s in a great location for everything in Grand Marais as well as close to several hiking trails. The room was clean and it’s clear that the staff cares. There are a few finishing touches that I would recommend to make this place amazing: A privacy latch on the exterior door that guests can secure once inside, a hook for the hand towel, a couple of hooks inside the bathroom for towels or clothing, trim-holes filled and painted, and a picture or piece of art on the wall so it doesn’t feel quite so sterile. My guess is that with all that has been done so well, these things are planned but just not yet finished. I would stay here again and recommend it to others. I wish them the very best."
