Verified traveller

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Property very cozy & north woodsy. Hard to find it since there was no sign in front. It was very hot in the room (winter) & it didn’t seem to make a difference by turning the HVAC system to off. Made it very difficult to sleep. Bird poop covered the mat & floor at the front entrance — very gross.

we stayed here last year in a different room and really liked the location and ease of checking in. Bonus ! free coffee and pastry at the nearby coffee shop! this year , we had the upper most floor and was not perfect for a tall person but still a great place to layover for before or after the BWCA.
