"Stayed here 2 nights for a fall getaway. Great location in Eagle River. On the UTV trail. Room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking. The included breakfast buffet had eggs and sausage both days. Waffle maker, fruit juices, yogurt, milk and muffins were available. We had a handicap-accessible room which was ample sized. Somewhat strange that there was no shelf for soap or shampoo in the shower. Had to put them on the floor. This location is pet friendly, so we did hear some barking at times. Would stay here again."
