Greenhorn😁
It was pretty good. We're use to someone being onsite for immediate assistance so this experience with a "self serve/self help" situation was different for us. However, when I called the owner Adam for assistance he was VERY helpful. We would stay there again. It was very neat and clean.

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.

Beautiful Inn with a fully stocked kitchen and everything you need in your room. We loved the pine walls and wood floors. No nasty carpet especially since it’s pet friendly. We will be definitely be back!

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.
