The good - the staff was all friendly and helpful and some of the activities were fun.

The bad - everything else. The rooms in the lodge were awful, paper-thin walls through which I could hear someone next door having a coughing fit for 30 minutes then snoring as well as hearing the restaurant music all day. The bed wasn't the advertised size and squeaked with every small movement. The lake view was partially obscured by trees and even then wasn't much of a view, mostly just of an unappealing beach and people drinking and smoking at the picnic tables. The rooms lacked basic amenities of cheap hotels and the whole place was very claustrophobic. The food at the restaurant was good but massively overpriced for the quality, especially the wine selection.

Conclusion - You're better off heading a little further north and just getting a regular hotel at Grand Marais for a better lakeside room and easy access to all the same outdoors activities plus even more further north.
