Wow what a great place!! Pride of ownership shows through in everything. The property is clean, quiet, and well taken care of. Flowers everywhere and wonderful memorial gazebo. Great selection of items for the daily complimentary breakfast. Housekeeping was thorough and efficient, replaced towels & toiletries, vacuumed, made beds, and emptied garbage daily. They allow boat and trailers to park on the sides. We loved the nearby Young's golf course and restaurant, Lake Chicagon is right next door complete with boat ramp, beach and a camping area. Great for kids even though we didn't bring any. Highly recommend this true Gem, a Wonderful Hotel/Inn. Thank you for a great stay!!

The bed was uncomfortable and kind of lumpy. Also the bathtub was dangerous. It got very slippery when taking a shower and stepping out. The continental breakfast had a very limited selection of items. Other than that was mentioned it was nice and peaceful. Enjoyed sitting in the Anderondicks chairs they supplied very peaceful.

The couple who owns this place care so much about your stay and their property. Clean, warm, with literally everything you could need, even a vcr and more movies in the lobby than you could imagine. There are lazy boys in the room! So impressed with this motel off the beaten path. Worth the drive to it.

The building interior was dated and a bit shabby. The beds were too soft and lumpy instead of firm. Continental breakfast items were unhealthy- gooey donuts and sweetened juices. We drove into Iron River in search of coffee.

I only gave an average rating because we didn’t actually stay there, but I gave the staff a poor rating because I was very disappointed and communications with them. There was an error during booking and whether it was on my end or through the third-party website, they refuse to work with me on it. We were Five hours away in a different city, and they would not adjust the booking or work with us to make it work for them nor for us. Would not recommend if anything comes up.

Reserved a king room, because I have a service dog they downgraded me to two queens. They state they don’t allow “pets” in king rooms, i advised that my dog isn’t a pet but rather a service animal. After the front desk contacted the owner, it made no difference. They then charged me more than the quoted Expedia price. No safety bolts or chains on the room doors, opens with a key. Beautiful rooms and property otherwise.

Well weather didn’t cooperate The owner was nice enough to offer a room to use away from other guests so we wouldn’t disturb them. Even offered extra chairs an a card table. This was perfect just needed a place to unwind for an hour or so. Rooms were spotless and decor was adorable. Comfy beds and a wide variety for a continental breakfast. Recommend this adorable inn
