Started visiting Gunflint lodge 33 yrs ago when a group of us in high school camped across the lake in Canada. It was so much fun. After graduating from college, started visiting every 1-2 years with my wife and dogs. Never disappoints. We bring a puzzle and DVDs and plenty of wine. The dogs love the hikes, and there are so many options. Our favorite time of the year is Fall and Winter. The colors are phenomenal in the Fall. We have a great photo in February of the deer eating corn outside the window and our dogs just 4-6 inches away on the inside just staring at the deer. The food in the restaurant is reason enough to stay. We look forward to the food as much as the fun with our dogs. Our only disappointment has been that the last couple of years the new owners have not had as many Dog Lovers Weekends. They used to have at least 3 special weekends a year that dogs were not charged extra. But with 3-4 dogs, that is $100 extra per night. Miss visiting Gunflint, but until they revisit this policy, my visits will be limited.
